When inserting the 9v battery which way should it point - cannot find a pos/neg symbol and not even sure if they point up or down... Thanks

A 9v battery can only go in one way. the bigger circle goes to the smaller circle.

When you open the battery door, the negative terminal of the battery goes on the same side as the door hinge.

There's only one possible way a 9v battery would fit in that slot if I remember right.

Dear John, I am sorry but I'm not sure I understand your question. All 3 batteries do not point in the same direction. Two positives are pointing toward the rounded end of the holder and one negative is pointing toward the flat part. I inserted it into the handle with the flat end on the spring. I hadn't even noticed the "faint outline of an arrow" on the holder before but I see it now. I don't remember if I got it in correctly the first time. Probably tried it one way and got lucky.

Almost all, if not all button batteries are stamped with their brand name, type I.D. and a positive symbol on only one face of the button battery cell. Since the opposite, rear, or unmarked face of the battery is always the opposite polarity to the marked polarity, and considering the marked polarity is always positive (+), the opposite face will be negative and thus no negative (-) mark or stamp is required. With button batteries their proper installation into a product, e.g. a watch or calculator, is normally assured by their physical stepped edge design which dictates in what orientation they must be installed, i.e. which face should face into the device. Normally this would be the unmarked face. The marked face you will normally see after the battery is locked into place. If the battery's power is exhausted and it is properly installed, then the device it is to power won't work. Normally putting in a fresh battery in its correct orientation will get the device working again. If that doesn't fix the device, the device is either defunct or you may have installed yet another exhausted or dead battery. A voltmeter is really the only practical testing tool that can tell you if a button battery is exhausted, that is to say dead.

Sounds that you make the wrong pole on battery. Please stop it. And what is your battery type? Is it Lead-acid battery?

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.

If it is a 9 volt battery, it may not be seated correctly. See the video on the first alert website, and be prepared to do some hard pushing to get the 9V battery to engage. I had 3 9V units, and 2 of the 3 seemingly required excessive pressure to get the batteries to engage. When I first thought I had the batteries installed by just closing the door, the unit chirped until I got the batteries shoved on hard.

I normally move the left pin all the way to the left end and adjust the right pin so that the two pins aligned to the battery's - and + pads. It is awkward because the pins can move. My battery has three pads. To charge the battery you only need to use the - and + pads and ignore the center pad.

The blank side of the battery should be facing up with the metal contacts on the battery matching up with the metal prongs in the charger. Additionally you will notice in the upper right hand corner of the charger a small plastic catch which fits into a notch on the battery and helps retain it in the charger. This also requires that the battery be inserted at a slight angle but shouldn't ordinarily impede the battery unless it's the wrong battery/charger combination.

first you have to make sure the led's are 12v,then there should be markings for pos./neg.If they are new they should be equipped with connectors or go to the autoparts store and they will help.

The 4 little square terminals on the battery face down and should be on the left. The cradle has a little prong on the left so that's how it goes in. Once inserted the light should turn red. It will stay blue if it's inserted improperly or when the battery is fully charged. Hope this helps.

Open the compartment where you are going to insert the batteries. On mine, on either side there are two squares that are revealed when you remove the battery cover. One of them has a "+" sign and the other has a "-" sign. If by chance yours does not have those markings on it, then with the brush head pointing down and to the left, the positive side of the AA battery faces up on the same side as the brush is facing. The other AA battery faces the other direction. I hope this helps.

I do not understand what you are trying to state. Please provide more details about what you are trying to do and perhaps we can respond. I do know that you need to run the current thru the controller - both pos and neg in and pos and neg out.

Most of the time you will see a + sign on the device your putting the battery in. You will also see a + sign on the flat side of the battery. If you see no + sign on the device then it is all most always the spring or metal flex tab that is the + end. If still in doubt try putting the batter in one way and if the device does not work turn it around.

You have to slide the movable "prongs" to match your battery. If you look at your battery, it will have a + and a -. Make sure that the "prongs" are connecting to the + and -.

Hook the positive to the positive of the first battery, and the negative to the negative of the last (6th) battery. These terminals will have the supply voltage to the motor. When hooking these up, be sure the cap is on the end of the battery charger lead. Last week, I disconnected the charger and inadvertently dropped the end, without the cover onto one of the batteries in the middle of the cart. BIG SPARK!

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE A SOLUTION!! Put the nose of the batter in at a DOWNWARDS ANGLE. catching just the front hooks to secure in place. Charger then recognizes it. the problem is the connectors are two short for the battery. if you put the battery in at a angle, works perfectly fine.

On the back side, at the bottom, you'll see two little philips head screws, I think you have to unscrew those and then just above those, impressed into the plastic backing, you see an arrowhead pointing upward, you push down and up on that and the back comes off revealing the place where the batteries go. I think this is it, its been so long since I did it, and I use the electrical plug attachment to keep mine running so I don't have to waste batteries. Good luck with that!
