How to remove the Canon EOS rebel xs backup (date/time) battery

Trying to reset my rebel xs and I can see what I think is the back up battery through a slot in the main battery compartment but it seems that there is no way to remove the second battery. That is it is encased by a solid piece of plastic.

SOURCE: How to zoom in using Canon EOS Rebel XS?

Zooming is done from the lens on a DSLR, assuming you have a zoom lens on the camera. For example, if your camera came with the 18-55mm lens, you should see the numbers 18, 24, 35 and 55 on the lens barrel with a white index line next to one of the numbers. Turn the barrel to move a different number next to the index line. 18mm is wide angle, 55mm is 'zoomed in'.

Rebel XS was working fine... yesterday, all of a sudden, the LCD screen went blank and it displays 'busy' when trying to take a picture. Recharging the battery and replacing the sd card didn't change...
