Just use alcohol. It will leave just fine and easy, and without any damages as it is just a plastic battery cover.

You can also use a hair dryer to remove the sticker. It's true that alcohol will not harm the plastic of a bc, but when I have to remove stickers on a dvd box, for example, some products can cause damages. That's why I use the hair dryer first, and then a product called Eau Ecarlate, that will not wound plastic sleeves or cardboard.

Baby wipes work miracles on glue remains as well. As soon as you have removed most of the sticker just use a baby wipe to clean it. In fact I use them all the time to clean my games..

Since the movie "My big fat greek wedding", I thought that Greeks only use window spray for everything ;D.

It isn't available here so.. Michael Well, I don't know which country's shelves are stocked with this stuff, but, I would imagine it's readily available in North America, and while it may not be "available there" per se, it is definitely "available to there" via here: shop.ebay.ca/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313&_nkw=goo+gone&_sacat=See-All-CategoriesNo different than buying G&W games that aren't available in one's country of residence....

Interestingly all results come from US and Canada sellers! Isn't this product available in Europe? I wonder.. Anyway, thanks for the link but I've found a solution and it works really well..

Nice to know it also work for you. Alcohol is cheap, and you find it everywhere. You can also use it to clean the metal plate and even the lcd, with caution of course.

Be careful though, too much alcohol and you can destroy the colour of the game..

I've never seen a discolouration of my games by using alcohol. Not the slightest one. That includes the metal plate, plastic, lcd and even the logos. This is because of the excellent quality materials Nintendo used. Of course it is possible Mike, but you must do it very badly for this to happen. The only exception is the box. Alcohol will discolour the box if you are not careful enough.

I think it would be wise for anyone using alcohol, Goo Gone, Eau Ecarlate or any other liquid-based cleaner, to do so in very small quantities. And as Pablo pointed out, ESPECIALLY on the box of the game.
