The picture shows what I assume to be the open battery compartment sticking out on the right side...can anyone tell me what it actually is?

You are right. It is for the battery. I have had it for a while without any problems.

Your are correct. It is the battery compartment. Each unit comes with a 9 volt battery (not pictured). Their warranty replacement is pretty darn skippy. Two of the five units I purchased were defective. I returned the old one and viola new ones arrived. I attribute these defective devices to poor manufacturing standards/quality control.

the battery door detaches and there is a slot on the grip to put it so you don't loose it. the slot is on the section that gets inserted into the camera.in the picture here it is the right where the slot is on the vertical part.

After you take out the screw, there is a little "clip" that you have to open to get the battery compartment open.

I came here looking for an answer to the same question, and A J's helped me get started. But, after looking at the battery compartment more closely, I learned that the trick is to CAREFULLY bend (push more than bend) the metal prongs opposite the plastic clip, and then press down on the edge of the battery nearest the plastic clip - the battery will tilt slightly sideways and you can lift it out.

You need to pinch opposite sides of the battery flap with one hand and then release the top of the flap with your other hand. If you look at the flap on the back of the battery, you can see the hinges on the bottom of the flap which will help you see which side to release.

The battery cover is screwed in. It is closed with a single small screw and you would need a small screwdriver to open/close it.

With the box open and the lid away from you, the battery compartment is on the right side. Push down and toward the outside edge to remove the battery compartment lid and install the battery with the bottom of the battery facing the lid.

There is a piece on the back that slides out for mounting purposes. Take that piece off the battery compartment is there.

That little indentation on the left hand side is a batter cover. It's pretty tight but you turn it counterclockwise, remove it, and replace the batteries.

Well the battery pack is internal and not replaceable... That said if you a resourceful DIY person I'm sure you would open then handle and figure out what its got inside for batteries and locate a replacement if you were so inclined. This one is new so I hope to not discover what's inside for a few years to come.

There's a circular compartment right behind the monitor for a 3V lithium battery (CR 2032)

It is just a battery holder. You need two batteries in it. You existing battery will fit in one slot. You also have to remove the existing battery door(there is a place to hold the door in the grip.

hope this helps if my memory serves me you rotate the bottom. It has tabs on it. The bottom comes out and the batteriesgo in alternating direction. If you look inside the case once it is open there should be a diagram. Sam S

The battery compartment slides out from the side of the BLACK box. Look close, you'll see a tiny raised 'handle'; it slides out like a drawer.

To open the battery compartment. The way this baby goes through batteries you are going to use it a lot.

It's under the plastic that's under the seat. It's a small, odd shaped, sealed battery. I found mine by following the wires. It's easier to see while on the right side of the mower.

There is a sliding cover to the 2 battery compartments. I don't have mine in front of me, but you should be able to figure out which way to slide it open.
