Abstract
Aspects of the invention are directed to tools for disconnecting a battery from an electrical connector pad. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention a tool for disconnecting a battery from an electrical connector includes a body connected to at least three prongs, including a first outer prong, a second outer prong, and a middle prong. Each prong has a proximal portion connected to a distal portion by a sloped portion. The middle prong may have a side extension, including a side extension proximal portion, a side extension sloped portion, and a side extension distal portion. The tool may be part of kit comprising batteries adapted to be disconnected using the tool.

A tool for disconnecting a battery from an electrical connector, comprising:
- a body connected to at least three prongs, including a first outer prong, a second outer prong, and a middle prong, each prong having a proximal portion connected to a distal portion by a sloped portion.
A tool for disconnecting a battery from an electrical connector, comprising:
- a body connected to at least a first prong, the prong having a main region and a side extension region extending from a side of the prong, the main region comprising a main proximal portion connected to a main distal portion by a main sloped portion, and the side extension region comprising a side extension proximal portion, a side extension sloped portion, and a side extension distal portion, and
- wherein the main distal portion has a thickness less than a thickness of the main proximal portion, the side extension distal portion has a thickness less than a thickness of the side extension proximal portion, the thickness of the side extension distal portion is less than the thickness of the main distal portion, and the thickness of the side extension proximal portion is less than the thickness of the main proximal portion.
A tool adapted to disconnect a battery from an electrical connector pad, in which the battery comprises a top and a male pole and a female pole extending from the top and spaced apart from one another by a distance, and the electrical connector pad comprises at least a male connector for mating with the battery female pole and a female connector for mating with the battery male pole, the tool comprising:
- a body connected to three prongs, including a first outer prong, a second outer prong, and a middle prong, each prong having a proximal portion connected to a distal portion by a sloped portion;
- the middle prong having a width that is approximately equal to the distance between the male pole and the female pole of the battery, the middle prong has a side extension extending from the middle prong toward the second prong, including a side extension proximal portion, a side extension sloped portion, and a side extension distal portion;
- the distal portion of the first prong and the distal portion of the middle prong have a first thickness, the proximal portion of the first prong and the proximal portion of the middle prong have a second thickness, the distal portion of the second prong and the side extension distal portion of the middle prong have a third thickness, and the proximal portion of the second prong and the side extension proximal portion of the middle prong have a fourth thickness;
- wherein the first thickness is greater than the third thickness and the second thickness is greater than the fourth thickness;
- and
- a difference in thickness between the first thickness and the second thickness is approximately equal to a difference in thickness between the third thickness and fourth thickness.
