Battery in Wireless Keyboard is Stuck

Hi, I searched the forums but could not find an answer. I have the aluminum wireless keyboard and am trying to change the batteries for the 1st time. The 3rd battery is stuck and will not budge. I've tapped it, shaken it, and tried to jar it on the floor with no luck. I would be very grateful if someone could advice me how to get this battery out. I'm ready to toss it out the window 😠

Thanks for any help.

I found this forum to be very helpful: https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/5443/Batteries+corroded+%26+stuck+inside+App le+Wireless+Keyboard+%28Aluminum%29#answer179793


It helped me fix my wireless keyboard twice because of corroded batteries. White vinegar to break down the corrosion and the WD40 to ease out the batteries and clean up the battery tunnel. It's a leap of faith, but being very careful and patient I was actually successful. It was like "Wall-E" when that little green light on the upper right hand grew progressively stronger.
