[SOLVED] Ticking time bomb... | Astro A50 gen. 3

[geckovic02]

So it's basically the title.
My 2 years old Astro A50 gen. 3 has a really blown up battery. I just noticed it and instantly put it outside in case it blows up somehow. The warranty just ended 3 months ago.
I don't want to throw 300$ out of the window, so can I remove that battery safely without letting it catch fire?

I'm really glad if someone can give me some instructions on how to approach this :/
