Easy battery replacement. And the click wheel now works.

The swollen battery may have helped. The case came apart with the provided tools easy, per instructions. I had to use needle nose pliers to disconnect the battery plug. The battery was so swollen that the glue was lightly holding it in place. Lifted right out. Simple new battery installation and edpod played immediately on my Bose dock. Images of swollen battery attached.
