Thanks Earl, that was the problem. The bottom cover on the Nashua RL02 pack
is held on with 4 magnets inside the cover, no mechanical locking mechanism
at all. I just used a bit more force and the cover came right off.

The DEC RL02 packs have a slider release on the handle that one can use to
remove the bottom cover before inserting the pack in the RL02 drive.
However, the Nashua packs are missing this mechanism, and just lifting the
handle does not release the bottom cover. Any hints on how to release the
bottom cover off these packs?
Thanks!

Hi Lee,
Lifting the handle should work. I have the exact Nashua pack you show in
your picture, and just now verified that lifting the handle (without
pressing any other mechanism) does indeed release the bottom cover. It
appears to be a magnetic release, like the DEC-branded packs, but without
the requirement to slide a locking device.
Perhaps it's just a bit stuck?
