How do you replace the batteries with the unit maybe 8 feet in the air? Can the battery housing be brought down?

Essentially the whole unit can detach from the backing. The batteries are stored in the head where the lights are, it's a very simple setup, not very technical at all.

A step ladder reaches with no problem. There is a set screw in the base of the unit that when loosened releases the fixture from the base allowing you to bring the fixture down while the base remains anchored to the eave of the house.

Yes, the battery housing comes off the main housing without even a wrench. There is a self threading wing nut type of arrangement that lets the battery housing come off so that the main part is still attached to whatever you have it attached to.

Yes, convieniently the housing for the light and battery come off with a small counterclockwise turn but unless you're 6 or 7 ft tall you'll need a ladder.

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.

Yes, it twist into the rear shell to close and lock. You just need to be able to reach the front portion enough to twist about 1/8 th of a turn.

There are several videos on you toob that describe how to mod out this quad. The battery hack is the first thing I did, and it makes removing the battery easy. Simply cut a 3 inch piece of electrical tape down the center, and tape it to the battery on the end with the wires. then you can pull it out by the piece of tape.

your batteries are more then likely getting low, pull them out and replace them

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.

The plastic unit slides off to expose the door for the battery. There is one screw that needs to be removed

This unit is run off of AC plugged in power. There is no spot for batteries. This is a fairly big size unit maybe 14 inches H, 10 inches W and 6 inches D, roughly.

Unscrew the bottom and remove batteries. Replace with new batteries of supported size. Screw the bottom back on. Voila!

Cover on the top of the unit slides off easily. 4 AA batteries. I replace every 6 months to make sure they are fresh. But the light on the unit flashes to let you know when the batteries get low.

Sorry. I don't know the answer to your question, but I do know that I was up at 4:30 am AGAIN, standing on a chair, trying to reach the unit that was up by the ceiling, then trying to remove the battery and read the teeny, tiny print. The whole design is so bad. WHY not put the batteries in at eye level with some sort of connector up to ceiling where the sensor is.When I get a new home I am going to figure out a better smoke alarm system.

The base screws in and the front twists off to load the batteries. You should be able change the batteries without detaching from the wall.

Once you have removed the battery's housing, you just pull the tips of the wiring attached to the battery. I hope this helps.

On the underside there is a small removable cover, similar to radios and remote controls, remove the cover and replace the batteries. Simple and quick. When you use the scale, if you don't turn it off it will automatically turn itself off in about a minute so it doesn't run down the batteries. I had mine almost a year before I had to replace the batteries and I was using it daily.

Not sure, but I've noticed that my unit is starting to come apart as well. If it comes apart enough, I might use it as an excuse to add bigger capacity batteries as the flight time is frustrating.

Yes to both questions. You need a small phillips screw driver to replace the batteries. I uses Velcro to stick up.

The balck portion of the lower part is a battery compartment. Just slide it open and insert two AA batteries.

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.

very easy...looking at the thermostat it's on the right side,flip/slide the battery holder out and change them. It does go through batteries pretty quick.
