Do I strip battery down to bare metal, or leave final white packing (as in pic) on? Fits either way.

Leave the white packing on. The battery fits fine with it. Worked great and lasted all day on my Thunderbolt.

Don't have any extra. You should be able to tape the battery in, and then put something like a saran wrap membrane over it to prevent atleast some moisture.

sorry-- here's the reply including the link to the video... I didn't have to remove (or do anything) to the protective casings. I can only suggest you recheck what you're trying to connect to what. Here's a video about replacing the Verizon battery which may help give you a visual. The OEM battery in the video is a bit different but the close ups (at about 3:30 in, near the end) might help. Feel free to ask a follow-up if I misunderstood or the problem persists. Good luck! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk63rADEFkA

Get a good grip on the end of it and give it a yank. It's a strip between the internal back-up battery and its contact. It prevents the b/u battery from draining between when it was manufactured and when you install it.

For homemade you can go to RadioShack and get a battery box you can rig it close with those parts. Use silicon to seal and just seal and re seal when changing battery

It looks like it can be removed, but it is not meant for use that way. The battery is stored in the stock, so you won't want to remove it.

There are some guides online to tell you how to replace the battery. It involved de-soldering and soldering, so really only do-able for advanced DIYers. I tried and failed (but learned a lot about soldering on the way, so the $15 I invested was not completely wasted). Of course doing so will also void any warranty, so it's really only something that you will want to attempt if you have nothing to lose.

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.

Did you take out the clear plastic that holds the battery from making any contact

I'd have to say do as the battery states. For if you do anything different the battery will burn out faster or take a false charge.

Ruthie' if is truly white paper, yes take the paper off. It might even be like tissue paper. If the battery has anything other than paper leave it on. If you have more questionsneed more, I will try to help. The car charger you can get a generic one from big box stores like Walmart, Kmart, etc.

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.

Hello, according to the manual "Battery should only be removed when trimmer is to be discarded. Do not attempt to replace battery. Insulate battery ends by covering with tape and/or place battery in a small plastic bag." You can see the documentation on this unit at: http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?slg=en&ctn=XA4003/42

ITs a sealed battery and should be ok on its side. But be careful and do not ground out on any metal.

I would clean out the battery cavity good and replace the batteries. Make sure you scrap any rust particles out too. I've always changed the batteries on a regular basis and all of the outside casing and what looks like a window on top.

clean the post on battery and contacts, make sure you have a tight fit with the batteryif just a little lose fit will shut it down
