How do you change the batteries? I bought one similar to this, but cannot get the battery out?

The inner section that holds the 4 batteries and buzzer mechanism, which is made of plastic, slides out of the external aluminum tube. If the batteries have corroded inside the aluminum tube, you may have difficulty getting that inner plastic tube out. I have not had any problems with mine, but if all else fails, you may want to try making a solution of bicarbonate of soda to pour into the tube. This should dissolve any acid that may have leaked out of the batteries and enable you get the inner tube without too much difficulty. Just check first with someone who knows a bit about electronics if the bicarb solution is likely to damage the buzzer mechanism., Good luck. Richard Edkins. South Africa.

Screw off the green lid, turn bottom up to remove old batteries, install new batteries and screw lid on.

The unit takes 4 "D" cell batteries and I'm assuming Your question implies that You've owned it for at least one season. I'm hoping You removed the batteries for Winter storage cause they may have leaked and are "stuck" inside the unit. The green end cap "Unscrews" and the old batteries should all slide out. If they are stuck due to leakage You may have to "Tap" the tube and hope they slide out. I'm assuming because You ask how to "change" the batteries that you've used it and the batteries need replacing so if thats the case then hopefully as I said You removed the batteries prior to Winter storage. Hope this helps and again the green cap unscrews and the batteries should all slide out.

What I do is hold the base and then pull away the main unit. After changing batteries I snap back in place. Hope this helps.

Hi Sherry, The easiest way to do this, I have found, is to take the opener with you to Batteries Plus. The guys behind the counter are really helpful -- They will not only find the right battery, but they will replace it and then test your opener before sending you on your way. And all you pay for is the battery. In case you are more of a do-it-yourselfer, you can pry it open yourself to change the battery. There is a very tiny indentation along the seam between top (the side with the buttons) and bottom. It lines up with the groove on the bottom where the clip snaps on (mine has a clip for keeping it on the visor in my car). The edge of a small screwdriver works well to pry it open (not phillips head, but the other straight edge type of screwdriver). After you've changed the battery, it should snap back on. Of course, if you can't get it to snap back on, those guys at Batteries Plus would probably snap it back on for you for nothing but a thank you and a smile, even if you aren't buying any batteries that day.

I was stumped too at first. The battery cover is under the handle. Just lift it a bit and you'll see the edges of the battery cover. I remember it sliding off, although it's been a while.

Thanks Brianlatz! I swear I couldn't figure out how to put the battery in so I finally just decided to shove it in. But then the little ring wouldn't fit. Now I can't take it out. I thought there must have been an easier way. Thank god for google which led me here. lol. Geez. How the hell am I going to take the battery out now???

This is very simple to open. You twist open where the arrows are for your batteries and then the battery holder just pulls out of the little holes that you line up. Just pull up, it comes right off! Just hold the bottom and pull gently on the black part.

There is a battery holder that flips out of the upper right hand side. The users manual tells you how to do it. If you don't have one look it up on line.

Mine lasted longer than that, but you can change the batteries. Carefully twist the plug where the on/off switch is. It opens, and you can access the batteries.

Unscrew the nipples off. There are two clips on the side of it. Pull them out & up dont pull too hard they will snap. The top should come off and thats how you change the batteries

There is a small round indentation on the bottom of the remote..press on this and it will very slightly open. You can then pry it open to remove the old battery. It's a little awkward. Hope this helps.

I have one too, does it need a new battery or charged? I'm sure you've taken it apart and tried cleaning it. How long have you had yours?

Yes, I've changed the battery some times - actually it doesn't last much.The battery remains somewhat pressed by a spring, try to pull it with a metal wire around it. It shoudn't be hard to pull it off.

My apologies for the delay. I have never had to change the batteries so I have no idea how to help you. I will contact the manufacturer for details. Thank you.

Hey Chris, to change the batteries, just look to the left of the yellow power-on button and you will see a hole that's a little deep, that's where the screw is located. Just loosen that one screw and the section below it will come off and expose the batteries. Hope this helps.

There is a battery. Try taking it out and putting it back in. The first one I bought was a dud and amazon sent me a new one which has been going strong since.

I had that happen after a year or so. I took it apart and gently lifted the springs that hold the battery to reset them to hold it tighter. It worked. AND clean the battery contacts with a pencil eraser.
