If it fits over the spine attached to the battery cover can you still quickly open the cover and replace the batteries?

Yes it's not so attached that you'll ever be in such a dire battery situation and not be able to get to it.

Does not affect your ability to open the unit and replace batteries. The carabiner clip stays attached to the cover when you open the unit. No sweat.

This is not the case with the e-trex 30. You have to remove the carabiner/belt-clip in order to twist the d-ring that unlocks the battery compartment.Once you get the hang of removing the beltclip (lift the end of the clip and slide off), it's pretty easy. But you're not going to do it one-handed.

Not as is, as the original battery would not stay in place. You'd need to add something like a folded piece of paper or some packing material to make up for the additional thickness of the extended battery.

No. The battery slots are more like holes. Removing one has no effect on the rest of the batteries.

Yes. That is what I did. I used Velcro though so I could replace batteries easily.

Yes it can be replaced by the consumer. The one side cover opens and the battery comes right out.

It would be hard b/c you hook it to the screw on the back. You don't want to mount it so it will be hard to take it down to replace the batteries.

yes, it will fit under standard battery cover and will make little bulged ( maybe 1 mm or 2 mm)

If you look at the battery cover on the back, you will see a small tab. With your fingernail or something like a popsicle stick catch the slightly pointed end and push it to to battery cover, closing the 1/8" gap, When it touches the battery cover, lift it. You are correct, it's not the easiest one to open.

I don't think so. The batteries are deep inside and would require "surgery" to replace.

I've never had a problem; it's easy to remove and replace the battery cover. I supposed if it's dropped it would break.

There is no battery cover, so it appears that replacement is not intended by the manufacturer. The unit is held together by a rubber cover that covers top, bottom, and sides. This cover is not trivial to remove, but I didn't try very hard.

Ordinarily you don't need to 'remove the cover', you merely unlock the entire housing from the mounting base and the battery immediately accessible for changing. It does look like somehow you can release a couple of locking tabs that are either side of the battery compartment to release the two parts of the housing from each other.

Yes. 4 screws on the back allow access to the battery compartment. I replaced the battery on our unit. You can get a replacement on line, or go to a store that specializes in batteries for electronic gear. I would take the old one to be sure you get the proper replacement. Size, voltage and connections are all critical.

I contacted the Tekton rep and he said that the batteries are replaceable. There are two screws that need to be removed to get to them. I have not taken mine apart yet so I don't know how careful you will need to be when removing the cover. The device has 1 CR2032 3V Lithium cell and 3 LR44 1.5V button cells.

Hi there Courtney. Yes you can change the battery. U will need a very small Phillips screwdriver to open the battery case.
1293872
Yes. The 'switch' pushes out sideways and it's easy to replace the batteries. Note: the batteries last a long time!

The battery is removable, so as long as you can find a similar version of it, you can replace it.
