Anyone know how to change the battery on this? Mine arrived with dead battery but no instructions on how to change it or what type/size to use.

I recently bought two lighted loupes. For both, the battery is housed in the fold-out under a circular cover, and the cover is about 1/2" diam and has two pin-head sized depressions in it. One of my loupes came with a tiny tool with two prongs that fit into the depressions so you can unscrew it. The promised tool for the other loupe was missing, but that battery cover has a slot that will accept a small screwdriver (or maybe a dime) to open it. When ordering, I made sure that both loupes use the same size battery, AG7.

It takes 3 LR927 batteries. Unscrew the slotted screw on the bottom of the loupe with a quarter. Takes 2 minutes.

Thank you all, I appreciate your feedback! I'll try with batteries first (when I receive it - ordered today), and maybe order this next! Thank you again.

screw bottom off. put battery in. screw bottom back on. if it works, hooray. if not, try flipping the battery. battery should be 50% or newer to get the best experience. if it still doesn't work, you may have an d.o.a... contact your seller.

Try inserting a new battery. When I first received my unit, the battery was dead. Good luck:)

I'm sorry, I don't know for sure :( I'm sure you tried to replace the battery? I would just try contacting them and see what they might offer to do. Sorry I'm not much help. Good Luck !

Very easy...turn the device over..there is a round cap with a slot in it..place a coin in the slot..turn it counterclockwise..the cap will pop off.. pry the battery out taking notice which side of the battery is facing up..replace the new battery the same way.. replace the cap. It is a good idea to check the battery in both the sending and receiving units..I own 3 of these.. and 2 of them had weak old batteries rite out of the box.. I really like them.

You need a small screwdriver, I believe a Phillips head, to open the battery compartment. You can replace battery. If it still doesn't turn on then you need to send back to replace.

Was just looking for a replacement battery when I came across this YouTube post on how to fix a dead battery. This may be worth a try. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GfPKg05ZIU

There are some guides online to tell you how to replace the battery. It involved de-soldering and soldering, so really only do-able for advanced DIYers. I tried and failed (but learned a lot about soldering on the way, so the $15 I invested was not completely wasted). Of course doing so will also void any warranty, so it's really only something that you will want to attempt if you have nothing to lose.

Unscrew the bottom and remove batteries. Replace with new batteries of supported size. Screw the bottom back on. Voila!

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.

If it is dead, open the box and get the dimensions off the existing battery. If you have to replace it anyways might as well get it ready.

Mine came brand new with a dead battery. You need to desolder the old battery and solder in replacement, or just splice in a CR 2032 battery to make it work. Wrench

Did you ever figure this out? Mine died and I'd like to try changing the batteries but I also don't want to invest much, in case that's not the issue.
