Figured I'd share these photos of my original large battery that finally failed (on the right) and a new replacement for comparison.
So if suddenly your SDS100 doesn't display battery voltage but shows "---V" be prepared to find it possibly expanding! This is the main reason why I had @jonweinke replace my original battery clip with one of his carbon fiber ones. My clip didn't fail when I opened the battery compartment, but I can see how this would have put enough strain on the original to cause it to snap.
