I m a senior with arthritic hands, how easy is it to detach and re-attach the battery?

It does take some pressure to release the battery, but none to reinstall it

Should be no problem. I do it with one hand and it requires very little effort. I use mine to " sweep" my porch. Not powerful enough to do serious yard work, but is fantastic for what I use it for, hope this helps.

It's probably as easy as with any battery driven cordless. I can do it fairly easily with one hand; two would be easier.

I'm also a senior and I have no problems attaching and detaching but if you have very small hands or not much strength in your fingers it might be a little hard for you. In order to attach battery, very easy, just push on the battery. To detach you need to put your hand around the battery and press 2 buttons, one on each side. If you lack strength or short fingers, it may be a problem. Have your neighbor reattach! Colleen

The battery is attached at the very rear so you have to pressthe sides with one hand and pull it off....very easy

I found that the battery is very easy to be taken out and reinstalled. It is nice not having to drag electrical cords around with this leaf blower. It is light and easy to haul around. Not a ton of power but works great for blowing off sidewalks and patios. I hope that helps.

The colored handle part can be pulled off, where the battery is. I'd recommend taking the removable part below the tip off first in order to get a better grip.

The end with the button simply unscrews. Easy. Better yet it uses a simple AA battery!

It can be taken out. The battery is in a compartment at your feet. A screwdriver is needed to open the compartment.

There is a small Slot at the top of the casing that is easy to open with a small blade or screw driver or in fact, I can open it with my finger nail. Once opened you simply take out the small button battery and replace it, then simply snap the top of the casing shut. There is also a little diagram in the instructions explaining how to change the battery.

The batteries are really easy to change and I ask not sure if the tips are removable I bought them as a gift but if you have bigger hands I would suggest a different pair the fit kind of tight on my friends hands.

use your fingernail push down from the center top and slightly move the battery out.

Very easy...turn the device over..there is a round cap with a slot in it..place a coin in the slot..turn it counterclockwise..the cap will pop off.. pry the battery out taking notice which side of the battery is facing up..replace the new battery the same way.. replace the cap. It is a good idea to check the battery in both the sending and receiving units..I own 3 of these.. and 2 of them had weak old batteries rite out of the box.. I really like them.

Here's a tip from a user that successfully replaced the battery for this unit.MediaBaron says:I had one of the older non-replaceable battery models. I was able to carefully tap a razor blade around the seam to separate the top and bottom half, replaced the batteries and put it back together using a hot glue gun so it could be easily be taken apart again. This far from an approved process but if you're going to throw it away anyway give it a shot. I gave it away to someone who's wife was going through chemo and bought the model with the replaceable battery before they were discontinued. It wasn't pretty after the hot glue but it worked.

Yes, it is easy remove. It's not difficult at all. If you can remove your battery then you can take the case apart.

take the little screw out and the whole thing pulls apart put batteries in and put the screw back in

Extremely easy. Just push on the latching leverage button. It's a well thought out locking and releasing system. Ever since getting my Charge years ago, I've carried and used it everyday.

It was a little difficult for me because I have arthrtis in my hands, but to open I used a flat screwdriver in one of the 2 slots along the edge of the bottom. If you gently pull the handle of the screwdriver away from the unit, it will release the lever and the bottom will come off. To replace, just snap back on.

If you mean "how to remove battery", simply firmly hold batery by the end and pull straight down. It's actually very easy to remove.

I got it off, saw that the battery was fine, then snapped it back on. It really does slide off, toward the connector end, but it takes a lot of force. Wait a few years for the rechargeable battery to wear out, then take it in and let the poor kid at the store get the back off.And getting that lanyard loop to go in and back out of their little attaching hole is also nearly impossible. A needle-threader helps...

Very easy. I am 63 years old, male, and have no problems. I have smaller hands as well.

It should be fairly easy to pry the cover off. You can use a small screwdriver or a fingernail to pop the cover in the direction that is indicated by the little arrow 90 degrees from the pocket clip. Mine pops right off and the battery will slide out.
