Thank you for posting this! I tries to find out how to change the batteries another day but tonight I found your post and found the screw! The polar express is back in action!

I haven't tried to replace the battery in this one, but have in another version... they usually take a wheel chair battery, which are pricey. However, it wasn't easy to get the old one out and the new one in. Probably easier to replace the entire unit....

On this one, removing the battery is a little tricky. There is a band of plastic that wraps around the curved back of the tuner. You have to grab the two ends of the band with your fingers and pull away from the tuner. (You might need a sharpish instrument, like a letter opener, to pry the ends toward the back a bit to get them started.) Once the strip is off, the battery comes right out, and the new one slides right in. Replacing the band is a snap (literally).

Screw in, then change the batteries from the front. I suppose you could get some kind of gorilla glue to put it up. Be sure it's reachable... batteries last about 2 months.

you have to remove the phillips screw securing the seat, raise the seat, unplug the train from the battery and plug the battery in. make sure you charge the recommended time the first charge, then at least 8 hours each one after.

pull off the solver cover...then the battery will be able to taken out and replace or what ever you need to do. obviously observe the polarity of the positive & negative when you replace cover.

Hi Scott, I do not have the caboose with me at present, but I can tell you this. Look for the place that takes a phillips screw driver. Batteries are always replaced using one of those. Some trains also have places to use a triangular screw driver, but those should never be taken apart. The batteries needed are calculator batteries, LR44. I hope this helps. We love that caboose!

I've found you do need to replace the rechargeable batteries now and then. I looked up directions on the internet. It's not difficult but you will need a micro screwdriver and a specialty screw driver as well. The details should be in the internet instructions.

Yes! Open the battery compartment and remove the piece of plastic. Presto! They all work now!

Don't assume you can get a new battery. I have had my radio for quite some time and put it away for emergency use. I recently found the battery a little corroded and won't hold a charge. Now, I can not find a replacement battery. I even went to a specialty shop with no help given. Anyone actually "know" where a replacement battery can be found?

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.

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.

No you can not replace the battery it is internal. It does have the option to connect an audio cord to it so that when the batter no longer works it is still functional.

cannot replace the battery they are soldered into the circuitry inside. Major bummer since one of ours died already and my husband tried to fix.

you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing. Just go slow and dont force anything. you need the old casing!!!!after opening clean off ledges on casing. the batteries have a part number on them. go on line and buy a couple. under $3 apiece. use solding iron to remove and install new one/ones. note how they are wired up and install same way,,, put back together and use just a dab of crazy glue. peace you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing.
