Never use heat around a battery. You don't want the battery to get hot and create any problems.
To loosen the adhesive, apply a line of Isopropyl Alcohol 99%+ (available from electronics parts stores) along the edge of the battery, allow a bit of time for it to soften the adhesive and then gently pry the battery up a little. Apply some more alcohol under the battery and pry it up a bit more. Keep doing this to eventually remove the battery. Once removed ensure that any residual adhesive is removed before installing a replacement.

Remember to disconnect the battery before trying to remove it and try not to puncture or damage it at all during removal.
