schick hydro 5 powermate: how do you install the stupid batteries?
64152
Twist the bottom counterclockwise to open. That should reveal the battery compartment. Place the AAA battery in its compartment with the positive(plus) terminal facing into the razor, and reverse the case replacement going clockwise until the Hydrp part of the handle is below the blue positive logo and you're ready to use the razor. Adjust the shaving speeds by pressing the yellow button until you're in one of the 3 speeds. To turn it off,repeat the yellow button action until it stops. Good luck! I like it, but am going to try my Hydro 3 blades and see if there's any difference.

The trimmer uses two AA size NiCad batteries. The trimmer I bought several years ago still holds a charge. The second one, which I bought in late 2011, only lasted six months before the batteries began failing with short on time and high self discharge. If you are comfortable with soldering, you can replace the batteries yourself. Disassemble the trimmer by prying off the silver side panels. They are held by both clips and double-sided tape. Start at the end nearest the blades, on the inside of the curve. Pry off very slowly so that the double-sided tape has time to release. The end nearest the charger socket has a tab that requires a pivot to release, rather than pulling straight out. Next remove the comb/blade-guard, the blade and the four obvious screws with a #1 Philips. Pry up the spring metal retainer under the blade. Now the second tricky part: release the clips holding the black plastic body together. The first pair are about half way up, the second pair near the blade end. Once open you'll see how basic this model is. The circuit board has only five surface mounted components: a power switch, a diode, a LED and two resistors. The diode blocks battery current from flowing out the charge socket, the 150ohm resistor and LED indicates charging, and the 10ohm resistor crudely limits charging current. This charging circuit isn't especially battery-friendly, but the batteries must be especially poorly made to fail so quickly. Almost

There is a simple battery door on the back side. Unlock it and place the batteries in.

Hello Brian, The instruction should be on the back of the black box. Please remove the plastics on the battery terminal before using the battery. Thank you

The approach I have used is to simply re-use the connectors from my old battery that I am replacing. One example of how this is done is on the referenced youtube video link here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rkFtqrwhDU

Assuming you are still looking for an answer...Flip the remote over, and near the bottom you will see the back is marked with an exclamation point inside of a silver triangle.A this end of the remote, you will see a little clip. This is holding the drawer where the battery is installed. Push the clip towards the middle of the remote with your fingernail and then slide the drawer out.Install the battery with the side marked with a plus sign (+) towards the back of the remote. Slide the drawer back in until the clip locks it into place and you should be set.Good luck!

Good luck with that. I can't get the "load" terminals to work at all. I just connect direct to the batteries.

You need to unscrew the bolts that connect the +(red) & - (black) battery cables to the battery and put that screw through the battery tender connector, red to battery cable red & black to battery cable black and reconnect to the battery. If you have clamps that hold your battery cables to the battery posts you can take the nut off of the bolt that goes through the battery clamp, put the battery tender connector on the bolt & put the nut back on the clamp bolt & tighten the nut. Make sure you put the red battery tender wire with the + (red) battery cable & the - (black) battery cable. If this doesn`t help you might want to consult a mechanic. Good luck!

The battery pack for the SCD510 parent device is powered by two AAA rechargeable batteries, remove the battery pack, cut up a piece of tin foil rolled a few times, put it at the end away from the springs then insert two new AAA rechargeable batteries MAKE SURE TO OBSERVE POLARITY,,, there is a hard to see plus + sign...

The instructions I have says 'to change the battery, reomove the screws on the underside of the top to remove the battery cover'. 'Only use Ni-MH or NiCd rechargeable batteries'. I hope this helps....

Ok for those of you who can use a Phillips screwdriver and an Allan wrench. Remove the screen mesh and unscrew the speaker. You must do this to get to your battery. Once you see the battery unplug it and take it to Radio Shack. They carry the same battery there. It's usually by the counter. They also use this style of battery for power wheels. Cost is about $24.99. Instalation was a snap cause it's the same style and size, not to mention voltages. My original battery lasted for 3 years and I have been using the replacement kne for 2. It's like changing a car battery. Do it your self.

It's easy Mate. You carefully unscrew the base. Two of the AA's batteries insert one way..the third the other way. + \ -. The screwcap has two springs..and i tried using that as a guide for a while before I realized, there are two notches in the tailcap...one slightly larger than other...that only allow you to mount the batteries perfectly.

Batteries go in at the bottom. Just "unscrew," place the batteries and screw back on.
