SDS battery cover latch

[KAUC1632]

Has anyone come up with a tool to easily unlatch the battery cover latch on the SDS100? I usually try to put a little pressure on either the top or bottom back of the cover which is somewhat reliable but I would rather have something more positive and not risk eventually breaking the latch. This is important because I change batteries usually twice a day.
Thanks

Thank you. Would seem like Uniden would offer this as an alternative latch but that being said I discovered something today. My first battery of the day gave me the warning beeps and I shut the radio off. I had some other chores to do right at that moment and didn't get around to putting the freshly charged second battery in right away. With the radio completely cooled down the latch easily opened. Could be the heat build up during normal operation causes a more interference latch fit harder to unlatch.

I keep one of these handy to gently open the battery latch.

@KAUC1632 might want to ask @jonwienke if has any 4 sale. I bought one when he first did it since mine broke and it is easy to replace the clip.
