There is no way to access the battery. I spoke to the seller and they confirmed this. See my 2-star review dated May 15, 2014.

The batteries are enclosed in the dome part of the unit behind the LED and sensor. You can unscrew the battery encasing from the unit but you would need to get up to the unit to change the battery.

Flip the metal piece out, you'll see a panel you can remove to reveal the battery. I think there is some kind of plastic thing to keep the battery from draining prior to first time use. Just pull that thing out, replace the panel and you're good to go.

If there's a way to change the battery, I couldn't find it. Mine died after about 4 months. I like the unit, so bought a new one but if its battery dies as soon I'll have to try another product.

Turn off the laptop power. Then,slide and release the old battery before snap the new one in - there is only one way the battery can get in.

the one i have is solar powered which does have a battery which is constantly being charged by the solar panel. the item shown on this page apparently has 3 x d type batteries which are usually in the round vertical bit that sticks in the ground. i'm sorry but i do not know how to get them out.

The battery is on the right side of the Omron and there is a very small screw on that side of the Omron right in the middle of the Omron. I usually take mines to Wal-Mart and let them change it for me, because the screw is very small. Hope this will help.

There seems to be a very small battery door on back I have not been able to open it to determine what type of battery it takes. I would say it is probably too much trouble to replace. Current battery will probably last years, anyway.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720- where is the battery situated and how do I replace it?

You have to pry open the bottom portion of the unit itself to replace the 9V battery. I used a very small screwdriver to pry open the "tight" lid.

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.

battery is not meant to be replaced, so that usually means there is going to be a process in doing so (removing entire back panel and such). I suggest taking it to repair shop.. or look for a tut online. The tutorial may not be for this specific model, but they have videos for similar models that show you how to gain access to the insides(for ssd, battery change, memory, etc.)

Hi Gayle - Turn the entire unit until it lines up with the box...drop it in ---seal it and return it to Amazon!!! Order A FOFA XD and walk away its a great unit from Amazon and you don't need power tools to change the battery. Best Regards, Tim S.

I haven't yet had the need to replace the battery. I did however take a look at it yesterday as I was also curious and the only thing I can think of is using a straight screwdriver on the two screws (assuming they're screws) on the face of the device. You can see the battery within. There is no way they'd make a device you can't change the battery out on... it's gotta be it.

Dolores, I don't know for sure, but I just looked the unit over and it doesn't look like there is any easy way to get into to it. I have had it a couple of years and when I unplug it to test it, it appears to be okay. at its pricepoint it is probably easier to replace the entire unit than fuss with trying to replace the battery.

I have owned two of these units and I could never figure out how to replace the battery. It may be possible, if you are more technical than me. I found that the power cords go out, but you can buy very inexpensive new ones on Amazon.

Replacing batteries is no problem. The lights maybe a problem as I don't see an access panel. May have to take unit completely apart.
