How difficult is it to change batteries?

Very easy - has a small end cap that you can put a coin in and turn and this comes right off with easy access to battery.

Easier than most battery operated devices. Turn the dime sized cap on the bottom with a coin, screwdriver, fingernail(?) about a quarter of a turn, the cap pops off and there's the battery.

Easy enough to change the batteries, but you end up doing it too many times cos the battery life is very short.

Easy to change. Simple unscrewing of the body and there's a sleeve inside that accepts the different types of batteries.

If you want to get into taking the unit apart (disassemble it), then yes you can replace.. there is no 'open door' to change the batteries.. you need to solder-desolder the old (and new)-replace-- reassemble.. otherwise you can't..

I have never changed the batteries...It has worked well ever since we got it. That's been about 4 months now.

I haven't yet had the need to replace the battery. I did however take a look at it yesterday as I was also curious and the only thing I can think of is using a straight screwdriver on the two screws (assuming they're screws) on the face of the device. You can see the battery within. There is no way they'd make a device you can't change the battery out on... it's gotta be it.

I have never changed mine. I have had to change the battery once in over a year.

It's not difficult at all. As always, you need to be cautious about dealing with a car battery (including the sequence of detaching [and re-attaching] your battery terminals): Here's a very quick video guide, but you should follow the directions/instruction manual: http://deltranbatterytender.blogspot.com/

Yes, you have to hold in the button. I don't see a way to replace the battery.

They are indeed easy to change; and you'll be doing that a lot. I bought two sets and returned them both. The effect is beautiful, however the batteries drain even when the unit is off. I used mine approximately 4 times for less than a minute each time, at night just to view the effect. This was done over a course of about a month; then the batteries died.

Yes, a tool is provided to remove/replace the flip cover and the battery. It isn't quite as simple as changing a flashlight batt. but it shouldn't prove to ba a challenge to most.

I have not had to replace the batteries yet. There are two very small screws. I believe one would need an eyeglass kit or a tiny Phillips to do the work.

They take 3 little batteries that are commonly found at most stores, and are somewhat of a challenge to change, but not a big deal. The only tool required is a coin. The batterieis seem to need replacement about every year or so.

I did not find the battery difficult to change, but, it is a very small battery, of course. And I am a bit younger. Best wishes.

This was not to easy .. As you are looking at display , turn 180 so you are looking at the back.. Squeeze the sides and pull.. Mine was very, very tight... Once that slides out you can see and change the battery...
