Is it fairly easy to replace the batteries? Some of these have to be unscrewed or taken down to replace batteries which seems problematic.

It is real simple to pull the mounting strip off the back of the light and replace the batteries. These lights will run with with only 1/2 the battries or 3 of hte 6 total that are needed. If this is a problem it seems to me that if it is a problem to pull off the light to replace the batteries then you have other issues to deal with. As I said this light will run with only .5 of the battries so this is not an issue where I use these light sets. I'm on my 3rd one now. 2 with AC and 1 without AC. If you need good DC lighting these fit the bill great for me.

No problem. If you notice in the description, the light is so mounted that it can be easily removed as used like a flashlight, and the replaced.

Yes real easy to open, there are three two double A battery compartments, six batteries total each with finger push tab over to open.

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.

Yes you can replace the batteries. With daily use the rechargeable batteries have lasted over 3 yrs

The instructions say "replace with fresh AAA batteries". Taking the molded surround off is a hassle, hope not to have to do it often (ever).

Gee, I'm sorry to hear of your problems. Mine came "ready to go" and I've yet to need to replace the batteries. If you received the wrong batteries for the unit, I suggest you contact Amazon. They are quick to resolve any problems I have ever had. Good luck.

On the bottom there is a plastic cover that unscrews with any coin. The batteries can be found pretty much any where and they go right in real easily. I have changed mine twice, and it is a very easy process.

Its very difficult to change the batteries. You have to pry the plug out. I have used a butter knife. Getting the plug back in is much harder than taking it out.... but its possible.

Screwed in plate on the bottom indicates that it takes AAA batteries. So I assume they can be replaced.

No just open up the back of the unit and replace the batteries. Do not unscrew anything! Just make sure you put the batteries in correctly and then simply attach it magnetically to whatever your heart desires as long as it is steel. Merry Christmas!

I haven't needed to replace batteries yet. Sorry I can't help. But now I anticipate I'll have the same problem, so I'm happy to know this online Q&A; exists. Maybe the manufacturer will give us some hints.

There are four small Phillips head screws that need to be removed.It can be frustrating to make sure that everything is assembled correctly after replacing the batteries, but it is possible to do so and should not take more than about 5 minutes.

You can get to the batteries to change them. The back piece sticks- the front piece which houses the batteries is removable and can easily be put back.

you can remove and replace batterys great idea!I was considered the the same thing as we'll.here are the isues I have run into so far . Extra battery's expensive. Extra batterys are heavy. And you still have to transport the trey and charge eventually too

I'm not sure that the batteries are user replaceable. Contact B&D; for a better answer. FYI, My Gizmo suffers from battery slowdown also, seems to revive to some extent if turned off for a minute or two, then started up again. Hope this helps.

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.

Replacing batteries is no problem. The lights maybe a problem as I don't see an access panel. May have to take unit completely apart.

Very easy! Just unplugs and slides out. I have 4 batteries that I use when I go fly - takes 30 seconds to swap them out.
