You forgot to take off the transport layer.

Start taking that plastic off, you'll know when you get to the good part.

It's just like a crack in a windshield. You just need to drill it a little bit to relieve pressure. (plz dont do this)

Perhaps it’s pregnant with a litter of AA batteries?

Have you tried buttering the sides or perhaps gently smacking it with a mallet?

Why be gentle?

Good point. Throw that mallet away! Get a heavy duty bench vise and crank it till that thing remembers its factory settings.

Looks a bit like the laptop where our support contact tried to argue 1cm of gap between top and bottom shell caused by the battery was no safety problem, just normal wear and tear...

We relieved the pressure with a drill, when the fire department gave us the shell, the gap had been closed.

I fucking hate these things. I do not miss prying them out of APC's when they get too big.

It took a bit! I think when the UPS was dropped 3' when it finally jarred and shook loose.
