ive kicked, screamed, broke my phone by throwing it because i cant seem to get the fucking battery out of the NC23. how is it done?

Smash it with a big hammer

tried it

glad someone else has this problem! try positioning a blade screwdriver under the battery to lift it clear of the ledge and try to pull it free, don’t worry about distorting the bat box in the process.. its fairly flexible.

have you had this problem aswell?

Yeah, every time i take the battery out. always lots of swearing involved..

Although on an nc29, one of my first posts on this site was this very problem. My fix was to squirt in some wd40 then thread some tough wire through the connection holes and pull straight up, it came out with a massive amount of suction, like trying to give birth I think. I then checked the size of the old battery and found it was around 4mm longer than the new one I replaced it with. Possibly was not the right batery.

well thanks to townsend i managed to get it out. when charging do i just connect up to charger because on my aprilia there's screw things on top which releases fumes or something where the 400 doesn't??

Yep it's a sealed battery.

It is a tight fit! Had the same problem.
Had to force the positive cable out first. Then it was ok. But you have to be heavy handed with it!
