Hi Chris, sorry I can't help you on this, I bought the Flip for my granddaughter and I'm surprised it doesn't tell you in the manual. Good luck and again sorry I can't help you.

The battery cannot be replaced. But it can be reset to charge like a brand new battery.. Follow these directions To reset the battery. Please follow these directions I found out that this has a re-set button to re-set the battery. Step 1 Take a pin and insert it into the reset hole found in the tripod mount for the flip slide of the video camera Step 2 Press and hold it down for 5 Min Step 3 Remove the pin and hold down the power button for an additional 5 sec Note: The battery is now fully discharged. You won't be able to see any activity on the flip while charging after it has been plug into your USB Port for 30 Min it will see the lights flashing on the bottom of the camera. Keep plug in for 3 hours. This is a battery reset and it did work. I went on the Flip website and looked up Flip SideHD FAQ's and it told me step by step on how to reset the battery

you are better off throwing it away. I have done this type of work for years and it is not worth it. I bought a battery for it to replace mine and I waited to open the camera until I received the battery. Got the battery and opened the camera.. VERY difficult to do then to find out I was sent the wrong battery. so a lot of little parts that now had to be put aside...the amount of energy is not worth the cost of a better camera.

I have never had to change my battery on my Flip Slide. Since the battery is rechargeable, I always plugged the USB into my laptop to charge my Flip Slide. I do not believe you can change out the rechargeable battery. Suggest you contact the manufacturer.

I have three of these and they don't usually die but I have one not holding a great charge after 2 years. Since the warranty is only 1 year, the company will replace the battery for a fee. But you do have to send it in. Don't open it yourself or you may hit something inside. There is also a reset hole in the silver ring bottom. Push a pin in it for 5 seconds then hit the on button for 5 seconds and see if the reset charges the battery. Best of luck.

The battery is on the side of the remote. I had to take a pen and push on the button hard and then pull open the slide. underneath on right.

Open the battery cover, on the inside of it there's a little silver spring loaded button that slides to release it. On the battery grip there's a place on the side of the part that slides into the camera that holds the battery cover for you so you don't lose it.

Hi , remove battery from camera, insert that plus another of the same battery into the grip, push into camera and tighten screw( making sure not to cross thread) connect cable to control aux. switch. Turn on and check operation. I had to return the first one as it had bad contacts. That's it, start shooting!

I decided to sell the camera before trying to install the new button so I really can't say. Good luck.

I've never tried that, however, it becomes a bit clumsy trying to open up the battery door while the charger cable is plugged in. My suggestion is you unplug the cable before changing the battery. I personally wouldn't risk damaging the camera. If you want a definitive answer, you can call Samsung support at (800) 726-7864. Hope this helps.

The camera I had come with build-in battery, but I do not know how long it last, never tried

Had a similar problem. I removed, then reinserted the battery. The battery can be reached on the bottom of the camera, a small latch on the plastic cover allows access to the battery. Remove the battery carefully, noting how it is situated so that it is replaced in the same position.

I have had my camera for about three years, with no problems. My Flip is a Flip Slide camcorder. If you have the receipt for the camera and it is still in warranty, contact the store, and get a refund. Something is seriously wrong with the battery or charger. If you still have your desktop software installed for the Flip, plug it in and see what happens. Make sure all charging lights are on. Hopefully there is not a break in your cord or USB somewhere. Flip turned their business over to Cisco. Since then Cisco bailed out. Givit.com is handling their uploads now.But seriously that is too long for the camera to charge.

I literally haven't charged my battery in months and it still has a full battery, however, I don't use the camera daily and my videos are not that long. I don't believe you can change the battery. It's kind of like an ipod

It is NOT simple; due to the waterproof feature the housing is very tight.Hold the camera in your left hand with your thumb on the raised letters CEFC ( thus the switch that moves the mode from portrait to landscape will be towards your body; and the lens of the camera should be facing to your right). Press down with medium force and with your right hand slide the battery compartment latch while moving your left thumb forward. Once you have replaced the batteries or MICROSD memory card securely slide the cover back. Make sure the cover is SECURE. Wiggle it about back and forth etc to be sure. If ANY water enters this area the camera could be damaged permanently.

I haven't owned this remote for awhile (I have a new camera), but I think if you look at the battery, it's a large button type and will have a numberon it. I believe if you take the battery to a place like Walmart or Target you can easily get a replacement for it at the jewelry counter or in the electronics section. If that fails, try a battery store like Interstate Batteries or Batteries+.

Your auxiliary battery needs replacing. Pull the dime-sized disk out of the camera's side - it is the black tab marked "CR1220". You can get replacement battery at pharmacies or Walmart's watch section (what I've done, for about $3) or a camera store or probably online (but the shipping/handling will cost you more than the battery itself).

I had a similar problem. The sony analyst walked me through power resetting and pulling batter + memory card. None of the checks corrected the problem. I used the 'tap it on a hard surface' technique and it is back up and working. The pulling the camera lens did not work so the tapping technique will be used until we tap it into its grave.

You could try getting a new battery and make sure you have the right setting on your camera.
