This is somewhat of an understatement - the MacII battery is not only hard
to get at, it is actually soldered to the system board!  Messing with it is
guaranteed to void your warranty, and might ruin your system board to boot.

Opening the control panel while holding down every available modifier key
really does work - I promise.  (See also various messages from Apple staffers
to this effect.)
