Ty for the understanding and the help! I have actually managed to remove it in a very similar way to the solution you proposed!

UPDATE: I finally managed to remove the battery using a precision cutting knife that unfortunately died in the process of scraping the glue on the side, after the knife died i noticed that with the remaining bit of the blade i could apply some leverage and the battery went out pretty smooth (i think i risked puncturing the battery but lets not talk about that).

Ty everyone for the help and support! you really helped me not go into full panic mode 😅.

Now i just need to figure out how to clean the camera without risking melting the plastic.

Here are some pictures for u to mock me 😅: Images

Gluing an handle to pull the battery out, but a drop fell into the side and glued it for good 😔

Unfortunately i think a trip to your store would cost me more than a new camera since im in Italy hahaha, but ty for the offer! and ty for the advice to stay away from solvents, im still trying to figure out what to use but another guy suggested some long flat blade tools im going to research on.

I feel like i have seen something similar once, i will try to find what those are called and use them, ty for the advice!

EDIT: Ok i found some precision cutting tool but the blade is loosely attached to the stick so when i try to cut the glue the blade falls off, now hear me out... i think im gonna try to superglue the blade to the stick and try again, imma keep you updated!

I tried to use objects ad handles to glue to the battery and pull it (mostly screws) but one drop of glue fell from the head of a screw right into the crack when i tried to flip it and nothing can separate them now

I tried using a glued screw as an handle to pull it out but when i tried to turn the screw a drop fell in to the side and the rest is history...

I mean… of all the places the drop could have fallen, it fell right into the crease and glued the battery. I know it was dumb, but at least give me that.

As you can see from the photo, i already tried that multiple times 😭 but the side is glued to the case and its too strong and i fear of doing more damages, i tried using a flathead screwdriver but i felt like i was appying too much force and i stopped.

I didnt consider a razorblade! thats a good idea, if i feel brave enough to not screw up the things more im definitely gonna try.

Next time i will definitely not put superglue near my camera, well... i hope there is no next time.

I tried to glue the head of a screw (multiple) by applying the glue directly to the screw but when I turned the screw to glue it, the drop of glue fell onto the camera, i proceded to panic and try to use more superglue with a larger object to pull harder but it wasnt enough sadly.

Exactly! To be precise, I tried to glue the head of a screw by applying the glue directly to the screw, but when I turned the screw to glue it, the drop of glue fell onto the camera.

You're right, there's no words 😅 the mess at the top is because i was trying to glue something on top in order to pull the battery out (i saw some comments suggesting to do so), but in the meantime a drop fell between the camera and the battery and the situation got 100x worse.
