There is a little black adhesive square on the top of the battery where you unscrew the lid. Should I remove this before I start to charge the unit?

I'm not aware of any place to unscrew the lid! If you want, you can text me a picture at 443-794-0735. I should think it can probably be removed, but mine looks like the picture. Does the sticker cover the button or one of the ports?

There is a small Phillips head screw on the blue handle. Remove it but be careful not to lose it. The blue handle will then slide off revealing the battery compartment.

I read in the instructions that the battery should be removed after charging so I'm assuming it could get damaged or they wouldn't say to remove it.

you need to clean it. Mine did the same thing. Follow the instructions that came with the unit.if you don't have them anymore take the batteries out first, then put the unit in a throw away pan with a little unscented laundry detergent. Let it soak for about an hour and then use an old toothbrush to clean the bottom. Only put enough water in to cover the bottom part of the unit. Rinse it out thoroughly and let air dry. Put the battery back in and you're good to go.

This is a battery maintainer, your batt. should be charged before you use this.

take the battery out and remove the unit some where else and let it sit for a little while

I do not. I did not want to run the risk of any possible damage to the battery or charger. The battery holds its charge, so there is no need.

Yes, I took it apart and found a new battery online. The tricky part was getting the rubber bumpers off so I could get all the screws out. BTW, the B&D; people told me it couldn't be done.

I'm wondering if you pushed each battery onto the perch just right. The first time I tried to insert the battery onto the charger, it just sat there then fell off. I tried again until I could hear the battery click onto the perch. Do you have the charging unit plugged in?

Yes, you need to unscrew the battery cover. These small phillips head screws can be difficult if you aren't using the correct size screwdriver and the correct size head.

The metal base slides off. Just pull the plastic mechanism from the metal sleeve. Then the battery is exposed.

Will probably need to remove it. The stand is very compact. I really love mine because I can leave it on charge or unplug and just let it sit till I'm ready for it.

We can get the battery snapped in but there is a white plastic piece on the lid that won't allow it to close. Are we supposed to break it off?

yea, stick a tiny piece of folded paper or very thin cardboard under the clip that holds the battery down without obstructing the connection for power, and it wont do it anymore. It's just the battery getting knocked around.

It's inside the back cover to the right of the battery? If it's not there, you should send it back & ask for a refund/replacement of the entire unit.

Hello Brian, The instruction should be on the back of the black box. Please remove the plastics on the battery terminal before using the battery. Thank you
