Default How to remove battery from S70

I know it sounds silly, but I'm stuck, unable to take out the battery. My S70 has not been used for over a month and now it can't be started. I'm going to take the battery to AutoZone for a free recharge. But oddly, there are not any of the usual bracket, rod, or screws securing the battery, none of these usual holding-down mechanism is visible. Yet after removing the terminals, the battery remained firmly in place and wouldn't even wiggle a bit. It's as if the battery is welded/glued at the bottom.

Anyone have experience and know how the S70 battery can be removed?

you need to pull the clips off at the base and push to the left i beilive. Then it should just pop right out.

Mine doesn't have any clips and probably slides around, where can I get some @ a reasonable price or just use zip ties?
