Sean, I’m facing a dead battery in my Coleman twin tube fluorescent lantern also. Your directions are spot on except my battery seems to be glued in with super glue! I’ve tried a heat gun and all my strength but my battery won’t come loose. I find it hard to pry under the battery because of the shape of the plastic partitions around the battery. How did you get the battery unstuck?
In case anybody else is trying to do this, I used fishing line and Goo Gone to release the two sticky pads holding the battery in place. You need to be careful though because the friction of the fishing line could cut into the edge of the plastic base. Took me probably 30 minutes of working at it to get it to release.
