Does the battery plate on the back screw on and off ?

You would need to pry it open with a flat head screwdriver and it snaps back together

A quick search on YouTube and you'll find a few videos, but there isn't much to it really. Getting the back plate off is the hardest thing really. There's a special tool for doing it, but I just used my thumbnail. Start at one of the corners, and as soon as you make a gap you can start working it around the whole back plate until it pops off. You'll then see the battery connector. Pull very gently on the wires and it will slide right out. Now pull upward on the battery and it will resist. There's adhesive tape underneath it to hold it in place. Once the old battery is out, put the new battery in with the same orientation, reconnect the battery connection carefully, snap the back cover on again and charge it up! :)

slide the back plate off then open the battery compartment like everything else on the planet that takes batteries

I ordered it as well and was going to send it back. I did not see a back plate nor did I understand how to put the batteries in. I figured it out though. There is no back plate and that was odd to me but to insert the batteries you have to remove the back ( that is the frame around the battery opening). There is a little lever to push up on the opposite side of the volume. I use the AA batteries. It's a great light and works well.

No. Battery has to be removed and it's a pain to get the back screwed on after battery is charged. Works great as a flashlight but I would not buy this product if I had to do it all over again. Also sometimes the battery doesn't seat properly in the charger

No, unfortunately the plate does not unscrew. If that's a problem, you'd probably need to get something like a RAM-B-237U instead, which is essentially the same assembly but terminates with a plate-free camera mount. In my case, I needed the flexibility of both, so I got the RAM-B-166-202AU and then purchased a RAM-B-237U separately. That means that I can swap out the last piece for whatever situation I find myself in... with the plate, for when I'm using my dSLR or camcorder, or without, when I'm using a point-and-shoot or a GoPro.

Yes, the battery housing comes off the main housing without even a wrench. There is a self threading wing nut type of arrangement that lets the battery housing come off so that the main part is still attached to whatever you have it attached to.

Yes it is. On the back you will find a cap with indentation to unscrew and replace battery.

Unfortunately, no. It screws on. If you were very handy you might mount the screw on the other side.

I don't know. It does screw on in place of or in addition to the existing plate so it would cover the reset button.

No, the battery is built into the screwdriver, and doesn't appear to be removable.

Yes, but you must take the back off, not a pop out battery, still very easy to change...

Hi there this is a screw on, just two secures the thin piece, like a plate in place then the main piece which houses 4 C batts latches to the secure plate, twist and you're done --- ingenious, makes it easy to replace the batts without having to unscrew the whole thing if it was 1 piece. I have 4 e going very strong despite frequent use, in high traffic. Oddly enough the one that is used the least is acting up, stays on pretty much all the time...would need to call CS...good luck!

certainly. the quick disconnect plate is quite small (3x4mm) and once attached won't block the battery door.

If you have a tiny Phillips head screwdriver with a magnetic tip (like the ones that are used for eyeglass adjustments), you should not have a problem. There are 3 tiny phillip head screws that need to come out to remover the backing. Once the backing is removed, there is one more TINY Phillips head screw that "holds" the battery in. Once you have the right screwdriver, it can be changed within 3 minutes.

There are little screws on the bottom. One is for the battery compartment, one is not. You can tell by looking at them which you need. :)
