The battery sleeve is stuck and won't come out. Should I try to pry the red plastic part? How can I get it out? Thanks!

You should be able to just tap the flashlight body open end on a hard surface and it should slide out easily

I have always found that just giving it a good shake usually does the trick. However, if you must, use extreme caution to pry the battery sleeve out. I'm not sure if Pelican makes replacement sleeves... Good luck in getting it out!!

I had the same problem. Swollen battery and I couldn't get it to budge. A google search that worked for me was to take a drill with a skinny bit and drill down into the battery, making sure you only drill down half way through the battery. Remove the drill. Use a hex key small enough to insert into the hole you made, or a skinny nail. I had the wife hold onto the remote and I took a hammer and started tapping on the hex key until the battery eventually pride out. I did slide a metal nail file under the battery to provide the lift needed to remove the batter from the compartment as it is sunken down in the remote. I ordered a replacement batter here for around 18 bucks. Hope this is helpful. I had the same problem. Swollen battery and I couldn't get it to budge.

On the side of the charger there is a rounded spot where you just push your finger against the battery and lift it out. It will come out fairly easy.

Just pull and it will comes out. May be your didn't changed for a longtime so it might be glued in. Pull hard.

Unscrew the back cap - the one with the on/off button. The battery carrier will then slide out, be sure to put it back in the same way it came out.

you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing. Just go slow and dont force anything. you need the old casing!!!!after opening clean off ledges on casing. the batteries have a part number on them. go on line and buy a couple. under $3 apiece. use solding iron to remove and install new one/ones. note how they are wired up and install same way,,, put back together and use just a dab of crazy glue. peace you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing.

This is very simple to open. You twist open where the arrows are for your batteries and then the battery holder just pulls out of the little holes that you line up. Just pull up, it comes right off! Just hold the bottom and pull gently on the black part.

A quick search on YouTube and you'll find a few videos, but there isn't much to it really. Getting the back plate off is the hardest thing really. There's a special tool for doing it, but I just used my thumbnail. Start at one of the corners, and as soon as you make a gap you can start working it around the whole back plate until it pops off. You'll then see the battery connector. Pull very gently on the wires and it will slide right out. Now pull upward on the battery and it will resist. There's adhesive tape underneath it to hold it in place. Once the old battery is out, put the new battery in with the same orientation, reconnect the battery connection carefully, snap the back cover on again and charge it up! :)

I just bought one today at walmart and I stripped it too, and I was using the correct size screwdriver. Now I am not sure how I am going to get the battery compartment off without breaking it. I would never buy this again. I am wondering why they used a screw in the first place.

Try prying it open with a screwdriver or a butterknife.try pressing it down then pry up.

Yes - pull it apart just under the white section. It may be fairly stiff but it will pull apart here and you can replace the battery! Great device!

I can't see any way to remove the battery compartment, look like all one piece to me. there's nothing in the instruction manual neither. I'll take a picture of it if that helps.

The following is from a comment from an Amazon customer who purchased the mouse: "I realize I wasn't thinking outside of the box enough, but it took me five minutes (I actually timed this) to figure out how to take off the battery cover. There's a button on the bottom of the mouse to depress, but when I pushed it, nothing happened. I figured the cover was stuck so eventually I tried prying it off with various sharp objects, but I succeeded only in gouging the plastic. Turns out that what appears to be the cover is not. The cover that comes off is in fact that part of the mouse you'll likely be holding when you press the cover release button. It's horribly counterintuitive, and the diagram in the directions does nothing to help you out here." Hope this helps.

Place your fingernail or a small knife blade under that little "finger" on the underside of the Epilady. Pry it up very gently and it should come right out. It's rather like a small battery compartment cover. Anyway, it goes back together easily. Just be gentle with it since the plastic isn't very thick.

The battery is in the bottom of the remote. Pull off cover and push battery in and up it should slide out. If your battery is swollen, a common problem, use duct tape. Attach the duct tape to battery and pull. You will need to get as much duct tape on the swollen battery as possible.

I am sorry, I had the same problem. I ended up throwing it away and ordering a new one! I did not see any way to open it and replace a battery.

Did you take out the clear plastic that holds the battery from making any contact
