I cannot get my old battery out. I remove the battery cover and angle the battery up but it does not slide back.

Most of the time the old battery has expanded and it makes it difficult to remove. Patience is key. With a screwdriver and much perseverance the old battery was finally removed.

I gave up, also. I read that some of them swell. e-mailed Logitech, but no answer yet from them. When I first started buying their products, keyboards, mice, the remote, wi-fi radio receivers, they were very customer-friendly. It is well over a year now that I found them unhelpful. When I couldn't add Spotify to my old unit, they had me doing all sorts of things, to no avail, till they admitted that it wouldn't work. Landed up having to buy a newer unit. Still don't understand why they wouldn't have a software upgrade for it.

It happened to me twice. Had to force it out using thin long pliers. With some luck and care, you won't break the remote. Good luck.

Turn it upside down and unscrew bottom. If it already has batteries in it, it is best to hold it at about a 45°angle and twist off. Make sure you only fill to marked circle inside otherwise the battery compartment won't twist back in.

The cover turns "Counter Clockwise" 90 degrees (to the vertical position), then use a pin or other sharp pointed object at the edge of the cover to lift it off. I see no need to remove the battery since the battery will last a few years. Earl Hendrickson PE

It is hard to get out. I put my finger on side of battery. Between battery and charger and push battery toward the oppersite side and push up at same time.

You need to pinch opposite sides of the battery flap with one hand and then release the top of the flap with your other hand. If you look at the flap on the back of the battery, you can see the hinges on the bottom of the flap which will help you see which side to release.

Looking at it as it is pictured (yellow button on the right) there is a small black tab sticking out from the bottom side of the read out. Push that tab up through the readout, the large slider should push out the topside. Pull it all the way out. Put the battery in + side down. Then put it back together. I hope this helps.

Pop off the front plastic cover. There might be one screw holding the batteries in behind a plate. Once removed, there is an electrical connector that needs to be disconnected. The batteries should slide out just by pulling on them. If they don't budge, they might be bulged. In that case, you would need to disassemble the chassis some more.

The battery is in the bottom of the remote. Pull off cover and push battery in and up it should slide out. If your battery is swollen, a common problem, use duct tape. Attach the duct tape to battery and pull. You will need to get as much duct tape on the swollen battery as possible.

I had the same issue. I am going to try to use a different five prong screwdriver to unscrew the battery. Good Luck!

you slide it in the opposite direction you did when you inserted it. If there is a lock hinge you need to lift the battery's back side above it, of course.

Try a coin. It is kind of hard at first, but if you push up on it, it snaps out. There looks like two openings for the battery, but it's the upper one. The lower is for the little circular stand that comes with it.

Yes, I took it apart and found a new battery online. The tricky part was getting the rubber bumpers off so I could get all the screws out. BTW, the B&D; people told me it couldn't be done.

Use a flat bladed screwdriver against the wire connector to slide it off the battery. A few light taps should get it going.

You aroused my curiosity so I checked my unit only to find that I also could not slide the battery cover off. I unplugged the cables, then took a thin bladed paring knife (with a dull cutting edge) and slipped the blade into the joint near the thumb grip. For safety I wrapped my thumb with several layers of a dish cloth, then I applied downward pressure and also pressure in the direction of the arrow while also applying prying pressure to the knife blade with the other hand. Before re-installing the cover I applied a thin coating of Vaseline to the slide areas and to the retaining catch. AVOID THE BATTERY CONTACTS! Hope this helps!

I had an initial problem with the battery becoming unseated from the contacts; this very thing happened to me. First make sure that it is clicked in completely. Then if there is ANY movement at all use a small piece of folded notecard or paper to force firm seating in the connector.

use a tiny screw driver to unscrew the screw. It's oddly shaped with a wider bottom, so once loosened, you have to pop it out (I pryed it out with the same tiny screw driver. Then puse a larger screwdriver to twist the backing. (place the larger screwdriver or a penny in the little notch on the backing and twist until the tiny tab is visible). The pop the backing off with your tiny screwdriver. Once I replaced my battery, I put the backing back on and twisted so the tab help it in; I did NOT replace the screws because they were a superfluous pain in the rear.

Hello, twist and pull remove from wall. Pull out the sliding door. With small flat blade screwdriver pick or pry the batteries out. I see it looks like a tight fit. I hope this helps.
