Has anyone changed the CR2032 battery yet? I removed the coupling and pushed the tabs/orange button, but it seems to be stuck!

Yes, I've changed the battery some times - actually it doesn't last much.The battery remains somewhat pressed by a spring, try to pull it with a metal wire around it. It shoudn't be hard to pull it off.

We changed the battery and the unit wouldn't work again! Communicated with Gardena: sent it back to them and they ended up replacing the meter n/c.

remove coupling.Press orange button down to clear casing. Grasp clear lugs each side of "open" and pull carefully. Remove orange cover and tap gently and battery will drop out.

Since buying this product I haven't had cause to replace the battery. However, since you raised the issue I tried to open unit to get at the battery and had no problem. While pushing the orange button in as far as it will go simultaneously hold and pull both tabs (L & R). You can't get it out without pulling on both tabs. As you hold and pull the tabs rock them slightly while pulling the inner body out the inner case. Remember, keep squeezing on the orange button all the time until the inner body slips pass the button grove. Hope this helps you Steve. Let me know.

So; you take the coupler off on the end the orange button is on. As you press the orange button you have to pull on the clear tabs on each side of the clear part (one on each side where it says open), while pressing the button down far enough to clear the black body. Then pull on the clear portion and it should come out. Once it's out pull the orange tab out and shake the battery out.

I have not had to replace yet, but the manual says you can replace both. Battery is CR2032.

It uses the little tab CR1620... NOT the larger 'dime' proportion CR2032. It takes (3) of them stacked up, and it's tricky getting them in the battery slot; it comes with a little red plastic 'sleeve' that helps you stack them up and then slip into the battery slot. The other thing you have to be aware of is the battery springs. They get compressed. What then happens is, the red dot shuts off in the middle of shooting... since any tiny interruption in the power supply will turn it off. Not cool.

we gave up, but someone had some good input. we just never followed through...check the batteries and remove the tab, if there is one. good luck!

It uses a CR2032 battery. I have not needed to replace my battery yet, but looking at the unit, I see an access plate on the backside of it. It can be opened using a coin. Replacement should be very simple.

I havent had any issues with my battery and ive had it since september of 2012. I suspect the battery issues are probably more due to over charging, im traveling a lot so i dont have a lot of time to leave it on the charger too long. Anyway, to answer your question, I myself dont have the answer but I did a search on it and found this. www.fixya.com/support/t13198485-philips_norelco_bg2040_change_battery it has a bunch of useful information. looks like you can change it but youre going to have to do some soldering. sounds fun.

You probably already fixed this, but I ran into the same problem last night. The cause? The door on the battery compartment was not closed completely. It *looked* closed, but it wasn't. I opened the door to check the batteries and when I closed the door I saw a tiny little gap. Pushing down on the door caused it to click into place and everything worked.

Mine just went dead, so opened up the front plate, and remove the 4 Phillips screws, then disconnect the battery terminal from the push pin.Voila, it's better than pressing the dumb reboot button behind the plate.

You change the battery by unscrewing the screw by the bulb area where the number cr2032 is... Using a small Philips head screwdriver. Hope this helps.

Mine came brand new with a dead battery. You need to desolder the old battery and solder in replacement, or just splice in a CR 2032 battery to make it work. Wrench

My model is about 3 years old. Model number RT301WA-N. Mine uses the LR44 batteries and it's terrible about killing them. I only use it every few months and it's usually dead when I pull it out of the drawer. Hopefully the newer model with the cr2032 batteries is better.

I am sorry to report that something must have changed with production since June of 2013. I performed the exact same test that V.Bolinder did, and mine is dead. I opened it to see if, as others have mentioned, the panel was not attached. Oddly enough, it is soldered onto the board just fine. IN my opinion, the battery is not a rechargeable button cell. I am going to purchase some rechargeables of this size and replace, see if that works.

The calculator is clearly solar AND battery powered.1) Remove the four small screws on the back.2) Gently pry off the back cover (there are tabs that hold it in place).3) Replace the CR2025 battery.NOTE: A CR2032 can be wedged into the slot and work fine, but it'll be difficult to remove later.

Yes. You need a small screw driver to replace the CR2032, one of the dime-size button batteries, but haven't had to do so yet.

I'm not sure but... Did you remove the plastic shield protecting the little nickel-sized battery? One more thing... is this before any valve control units are connected?Best of luck with your unit. I've VERY satisfied with mine.

Hi Greg. I am not sure, but I did replace the battery. I think I pulled it out and brought it down to a local Radio Shack and they were able to get me the correct battery. I think it was a pretty standard battery. The battery is a Sanyo cr2032 3 volt. I just checked. Hope that helps.
