I've got one

You can actually open it without the tool - a couple of strips of metal or even wood can do it. Basically slot them into the "grooves" and twist

Drop me a PM and you can pop up some time - might even have a couple of batteries lying around

A strap wrench will do it.

Don't laugh but marigold gloves are the answer. You can take it off by hand with them. Tesco gloves may work too

Looks like a powertap pro (pic is blurry). They take two EPX76 batteries. There is another similar sized battery that is much cheaper, but the life you get from them is much shorter.
