Hi Paul,
The welds holding the battery box in are called spotwelds and they're
created by melting the parent material and fusing it together. The way
I took mine out was with a tool called a "spotweld cutter" it's kind
of like a small holesaw but you're only supposed to cut through the top
layer of sheetmetal. In this case, that would be the actual battery box
itself. This link:

should take you to a page which has an example of the type of cutter
I used.
Now all I have to do is to figure out how to get the replacement box
in the hole :-)
