For some reason, I can't seem to get the battery to fit. It just doesn't go in completely and I don't know. Is there a specific way to put it in?

I didn't have a problem getting the battery into the battery compartment. It's a tight fit as I recall. Try looking for the Violin Guy review of the Cecilio electric violin on YouTube. As I recall he had something to say on that.

Slide the top in first to match the connectors, large connector (negative) on the left. Then push the bottom part in to the battery compartment. Good luck.

I had the same problem and had to return the battery. I went and purchased a whole new unit. Careful if you order a battery because if you have to return it, Amazon doesn't let you because it is a hazardous item. I went through a lot trying to return it to the vendor. The one I received was also broken. Good luck.

I had this problem a few times. The position in which it works is very specific. Carefully put the battery in and male sure all corners are in. Then put the rest of the case on before you try it. That's what works for me, hope it helps

This happened to me too. I noticed that the batteries were really loose. I just took a screwdriver and pushed the little metal part of the battery contacts out more so the batteries would be in there tighter, put brand new batteries in it, and it worked. I haven't had any problems since. I'm not sure that's the same problem you're having but this worked for me.

Its not easy, and not really clear in the instructions. I had to put the battery in with my thumb on the bottom of the battery and grip the whole housing of the alarm and push HARD. It snaps in. Make sure that you have the battery in with the positive (+) symbol down. I hope that helps, Sorry I did not see this sooner!

I had a similar problem. It turns out I had the wrong battery for this product. Still, I'd contact the seller for assistance. They are very helpful

Hi Cecil.Installing the battery is a little tricky. Make sure you place the battery in the tray that swings out (instead of in the slot on the frame).See figure #4 on page 2 of the manual http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/Manuals/305/3054100GB.PDF

Had a similar problem when I got mine. I emailed the manufacturer and they told me to slide the LEFT side in first so that the metal plates come in contact before you push the RIGHT side in. It fixed the problem for me. They said it's a very common problem and are updating their manual to prevent users from installing the battery incorrectly.

I had the same issue. I am going to try to use a different five prong screwdriver to unscrew the battery. Good Luck!

Make sure to have the positive side (of the battery) facing down on the battery cover.Hope this helps.

There is a little slide down part to put your battery to charge to fit. Did you try?

You might want to check to see if you put the batteries in the right way. I made that mistake. The pictures aren't that clear which way you put them in. Good Luck-it works great once you get it going.

U have to putt the battery on it's side. The bumb of the battery is on the right side and the wires u just push in

Double-check the fitment on your battery terminals. It will usually only fit one. Typically it's attached to the negative terminal of the battery.

Yeah, it's tricky in that you have to make sure you push the green button *horizontally* towards the battery, and it's kind of difficult to do completely, *before* you pull up on the battery handle to lift it out. Hope this helps.

The battery and cover is a tight fit... you have to ensure the cover secure around the entire edge of the case. I found after removing and replacing the cover several times the cover doesn't remain tight and requires additional and specific pressure around the entire edge of the case to close it tightly and completely.

We had the same issue but you need to make sure the battery cover is twisted clockwise until it pops into place.
