Anyone have instructions on changing the batteries in this? I don't have one in front of me, but am being asked how to do it... Thanks!

push down to remove cover and slide it off. Let me know if you still have trouble.

Wow! You have bad luck. I've had no problems and have yet to change the batteries. Does sound like that's what is needed though.

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 seems to be a very small battery door on back I have not been able to open it to determine what type of battery it takes. I would say it is probably too much trouble to replace. Current battery will probably last years, anyway.

The batteries are enclosed in the dome part of the unit behind the LED and sensor. You can unscrew the battery encasing from the unit but you would need to get up to the unit to change the battery.

I haven't had to change mine yet. Had similar frustration with another remote and took it to Batteries Plus franchise and they figured it out. Chances are it will need a battery they sell and not available at Home Depot, etc. That's my suggestion.

Hi Macarena! The one they sent me, a battery can not be changed. It's sealed. Get one from "Hug My Pet"! Beter quality, comes with a battery & instructions! This one came just in a plasic baggy with a chemical smell!! Hope this helps!

Mine doesn't have batteries either & I couldn't find where batteries would even go. But I see where Sandy mentioned taking the screws out & take the top off, I'll look at that when I get home & hope for the best.

Sorry to say I have never changed the battery. Its not written in the instruction sheet nor can it be found on the web. It just says battery is for back up.

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.

We have not had to change the batteries and my husband uses it quite a lot. It must be working since we have had it for over a year.

On the back side, at the bottom, you'll see two little philips head screws, I think you have to unscrew those and then just above those, impressed into the plastic backing, you see an arrowhead pointing upward, you push down and up on that and the back comes off revealing the place where the batteries go. I think this is it, its been so long since I did it, and I use the electrical plug attachment to keep mine running so I don't have to waste batteries. Good luck with that!

read directions...you MUST change the batteries in the outdoor unit first then load batteries, even re-used ones, back into the main unit...otherwise it will not reset and search for the outdoor unit again.

The battery is not supposed to be changed, judging by the way its designed. But there s a way to change it if your a DIY type of person. I posted a video of how to do this task for $12 and 30 mins per speaker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpHjhUjrv7k

I came here looking for an answer to the same question, and A J's helped me get started. But, after looking at the battery compartment more closely, I learned that the trick is to CAREFULLY bend (push more than bend) the metal prongs opposite the plastic clip, and then press down on the edge of the battery nearest the plastic clip - the battery will tilt slightly sideways and you can lift it out.

I looked at mine and do not see anyway to do it without dissembling it. You might go to the company WEB SITE and ask them how to do it and order the proper rechargeable batteries for it. Sorry.
