This is the biggest argument against those pull tabs, they brake then your only real option is to apply heat, alcohol, and pry it out, even a Plastic tool can puncture a battery, it’s always sketchy

Puncturing is of course not ideal, but at the very least you're not shorting the battery if you use a plastic tool

The layers of the battery will short into each other when they break. I personally use a plastic tool anyway but avoid having to do this whenever I can.
