I can't figure out how to open mine to change the battery. Any help please?

I have been trying for days to open this unit to replace batteries and I simply cannot. The batteries lasted only 2 weeks with just a little use every day (maybe 15 minutes when I let the dog out in the dark). I ordered a different collar unit that uses AAA batteries.

Pry off the half that does not have the LED in it. My two units came apart using just my fingernail to grab it. It is quite a solid fit, but nothing I needed tools for.

The body is connected in a snap fit fashion with the metal clip in the middle. Just pry the silicon halves apart using a screwdriver slid in between the silicon edge and the metal clip. It just snaps back together again creating a water resistant seal.

Pry the front or back off by twisting and pulling away from the aluminum body at the same time, i's not really necessary to use a small screwdriver unless they won't move at all. I simply applied pressure by hand and it came off.

Just squeeze tabs on either side of the lower part of the handle and pull down. Battery should slide out then slide fresh battery in and your good to go. Tabs are tight at first, but battery will come out.

The battery cover is screwed in. It is closed with a single small screw and you would need a small screwdriver to open/close it.

Thanks Brianlatz! I swear I couldn't figure out how to put the battery in so I finally just decided to shove it in. But then the little ring wouldn't fit. Now I can't take it out. I thought there must have been an easier way. Thank god for google which led me here. lol. Geez. How the hell am I going to take the battery out now???

If you're looking at the front- (where there is a silver circle button to turn it on), turn it around, and the lower back side, where the silver bottom is higher up along the blue, there is a tiny little button, that if you push, it pops open the battery chamber. Just turn it around, and feel the silver back side, and you'll see: feel it. It's super easy once you see it. Battery directions (+, -) are written on it, and labeled on batteries as well! Let me know if you need more help!

Hi Robin, I'm assuming you are referring to the cover for the batteries? What I do is place both my thumbs on the cover and really put pressure on it and twist to open. It gets easier to open over time. I bought this a few months ago. Hope this helps...

It is really hard to open! On one side of the battery cover there is a little tab and you push it over toward the center and you pull the cover back at the same time! You can push the little tab over with a small straight screwdriver if you can't get to it with your finger!

At the opposite end from the silver on/off switch there is a tab sticking out...press down on the tab and the battery cover will open.

If I remember right, you had to open the battery door thingy and there was a piece of plastic that you needed to pull out. I could be wrong though. Otherwise maybe try pressing the reset button? Just an idea.

There is a sliding cover to the 2 battery compartments. I don't have mine in front of me, but you should be able to figure out which way to slide it open.

Doesn't look like it can be replaced. Can't find a way to access the battery.

Use your thumb to open the door for the battery, pull the little white plug wire to disconnect the old battery. Plug in the new battery and close the cover door. Job complete

There's a hole in the housing on one side of the battery, and a door that swings open on the other side. You just push the battery through the door using a paper clip, install the new battery, and close the door.

Since buying this product I haven't had cause to replace the battery. However, since you raised the issue I tried to open unit to get at the battery and had no problem. While pushing the orange button in as far as it will go simultaneously hold and pull both tabs (L & R). You can't get it out without pulling on both tabs. As you hold and pull the tabs rock them slightly while pulling the inner body out the inner case. Remember, keep squeezing on the orange button all the time until the inner body slips pass the button grove. Hope this helps you Steve. Let me know.

I have owned two of these units and I could never figure out how to replace the battery. It may be possible, if you are more technical than me. I found that the power cords go out, but you can buy very inexpensive new ones on Amazon.

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 haven't yet had the need to replace the battery. I did however take a look at it yesterday as I was also curious and the only thing I can think of is using a straight screwdriver on the two screws (assuming they're screws) on the face of the device. You can see the battery within. There is no way they'd make a device you can't change the battery out on... it's gotta be it.
