Battery stuck inside with super glue

[adoool]

Hi everyone I recently crashed and tried fixing my drone with super glue. But i forgot my battery was in the drone and the glue went everywhere. My battery is not coming out. Anybody know a solution

A new or second hand drone with battery but keep the old one for any spares you can salvage.
Or a new shell and battery and rebuild the drone.

What bit where you attempting to glue?

 

[SpinItUp]

Super glue remover. Google it, it's like the glue but unstucks 5h17

As the parts are plastic, it kinda melts the plastic so it is as welded together. I'm afraid that cannot be reversed...

 

[Rchawks]

Not much chance of reversing that.

May be carefully cutting it out? vibratory saw type tool? or see what is in the dremel kit. maybe a tiny drill bit could start breaking it free? Does it charge if you plug the drone USB in? Integral battery drone!

bad idea I think, too easy to damage the battery and perhaps cause a fire

HAMMER !

I assume that is said in jest but just in case.
BAD IDEA.
Too easy to damage the battery and perhaps cause a fire and you'd stand a fair chance or breaking salvageable spares

So...what is the disposal solution so it is not a hazard to anyone?

Probably true. I would just charge it through the USB port. Although sometimes superglue isn't as super as it seems and can be broken if it is only in spots or the parts weren't all that tight where it was glued. Something I wouldn't go into without a thorough inspection of the situation

I find that superglue works best when you wish it hadn't.

true that for sure! lol

Lets just say I think puncturing the shell of a battery is a significant risk and may run the risk of fire, possibly even when NOT charging the battery.

ok maybe just throw it out!

I've always been careful with these batteries from back in the day!! I had a friend who lost a truck because of a fire like this.

Good luck, there is a reason why they call it SUPER GLUE!!!!

It’s a long shot with no definite guarantees …but…you can try running the drone and let the battery get nice and warm then try to gently pry it out. Maybe the warmth might weaken the glue slightly to pry out. But again, a long shot

Drop the lot in a bucket of saline water.

I think the drone is hopefully usable still via the USB charging, and maybe getting it hot flying it about in sports mode might eventually weaken the bond, but if you want the flexibility of changing out batteries for multiple flights when out, the only choice is to have a crack (no pun intended) at shocking the joint open somehow.
Most likely it will break all the original damage bonding I guess.

I'd try running the drone hard with the battery fully charged. Just fly it in sport mode at the hottest time of the day. The battery will get hot and expand a little. Then let it cool down in the freezer. Try removing the battery after the flight and again after an hour or so in the freezer. It might crack the bond.
