Can batteries be inserted upside down? Can the batteries be inserted upside down to indicate charged/discharged state or is there something that prevents that?

I have only been able to insert the batteries one way. The plastic shapes on the inside are designed so that the bulge on the positive side of the battery fits just overtop of a mold, while the smooth side is tight against the edge of the container. If this is reversed, the positive side does not fit in, and the flat side juts over the mold so that the cover cannot close. I would personally recommend keeping only your charged batteries in the case, and using a rubber band or something to bundle your discharged ones until they are replenished. Or you could buy more cases and label them. That would look much better actually.

Honestly...I never bothered putting the battery cover back on after I got it off the original time. The 9V batteries stay perfectly in place within the chamber and don't slide out or anything, so I thought the battery cover was, if anything, unneeded pressure to the bands (which are replaceable, but still). If I ever feel like messing with it, I do, but I just don't see the point.

Are you sure the batteries are inserted with the negative poles at the springs?

Yes they can. Plate on the bottom is screwed in, but it opens to reveal the batteries.

Check to make sure batteries are installed in the direction they are suppose to be. Sometimes if batteries are not in correct position, it can cause electronic displays to not function properly

If it looks like only one pin is connecting, flip the battery over and plug it in upside down on the left side.

hope this helps if my memory serves me you rotate the bottom. It has tabs on it. The bottom comes out and the batteriesgo in alternating direction. If you look inside the case once it is open there should be a diagram. Sam S

Have had a problem with mine so checked batteries and reinstalled them. I noticed the directional arrow inside the battery pack was pointed the wrong way. The base of the battery, or negative end, should go against the spring. The arrows point to the opposite direction and it won't work this way. Now mine is working. I'm not sure yet if I have another problem not related to the batteries.

Turns upside down. The black ring on the bottom,turn to the left to loosen take off. Insert batteries. When putting the black ring back on be sure you have it line up correctly. Push down and turn too the right. Should be good too go.

Batteries go in at the bottom. Just "unscrew," place the batteries and screw back on.

Check battery orientation. I think mine came with batteries in backwards to avoid operation during shipping.

You got doubly-screwed. Mine DID come with batteries (and they're still good!), and DID come with the obviously-essential plastic battery holder. Contact the seller (and Amazon if you don't get a quick, satisfactory response/replacement).

Yes. But you can still flip it down just not all the way down. I still love this battery holder though

I doubt if the unit will charge the lithium batteries however if you have a charger the batteries will work in the unit. There is no switch to flip for chargeable batteries. In my experience there usually is a switch if you intend to use chargeable batteries. Hope this helps

Yes, there is a place in the battery slot. It's only visible when you have the compartment open and are able to see the batteries. That's why some people have answered no, because they didn't look there.

The instructions are easy... Plug into wall or 12v (lighter) outlet. Batteries will only fit one way into the charger. light will indicate when charge is full. I have not had an issue with leaving them in too long. They will not "over-charge".
