If you have access to a heat gun, I'd give it a shot, especially because the battery needs to be removed too. My other suggestions are not the best for removing a battery, though you might be able to get a good angle to wedge the battery off without stretching the components in the battery.
Consider draining the speaker battery first. I wouldn't bother, but if you are really worried about breaking the thing it's worth a shot.
I've taken apart many consumer electronics in my day, and (anecdotally) batteries have not been an issue. I'd say that you are more likely to snap a wire off one of the components or something quite mundane.
Thank you, good sir, ill get a heat gun today. I have a feeling ill need ut for more future projects :)
