There are many versions of those type of pliers. The popular American synonym is "snap ring" plier. From my experience with snap rings, I have found best results with the straight version.

An example:

I've never changed a BeoCom 2 battery before so I could be completely wrong. Just some friendly hardware experience!

Thanks for the advice guys. I've managed to get the retaining ring out, once I realized what was doing. Unfortunately, being the klutz that I am, I managed to break the small white plastic clip to which three wires were connected and which plugs into the magnetic plate on the base.

Is it possible to fix this? Each wire has a flat section at its end which slots into the (now broken) clip. Can new clips be bought? And is it simply a matter of pushing the wires back in? Looks fiddly but potentially doable.

Not knowing anything about electronics, I'm not even sure what this clip/connector is called. Advice welcomed...again!
