Why does the battery fall out? Is it possible to get it to latch in better?

My suspicion is a broken tab. They are weak and break easily if forced at all. Time for a piece of black duct tape.

It shouldn't fall out if the latches are working properly. It has to be an exact match for the battery it replaced.

the battery should not fall out!!! check the tabs on both sides of the computer.also your springs on the tabs might be sticking.

I cannot say for sure, sadly. My battery does not fit completely, but it is a close enough match that it does not fall out. I had typed in the specifics of the model of my computer and got a battery that fit well enough. I hope my answer helps you.

Yes, I had a lot of trouble also, but keep pushing on it as hard as you can. It will open. Try pressing "down" and at the same time push the button "in". The opposite green grip will start to push out and the batteries are under that. Hope this helped you.

Sounds like a loose connection. I would take it back to where you purchased it and ask for another, if they wont help, contact the company, and see if they will exchange it for you. You might first try making a good tight connection between the battery terminals and the battery by slightly bending the terminals towards the battery for a tighter fit.

Just squeeze tabs on either side of the lower part of the handle and pull down. Battery should slide out then slide fresh battery in and your good to go. Tabs are tight at first, but battery will come out.

I had a problem with it not staying on and found out that you have to have really expensive batteries in it to work well. Maybe if you haven't done so already is to upgrade your batteries to lithium batteries or rechargeable nicads. And make sure they're in properly because the + and - indicator signs or very small in the battery department. Hope that helps.

Turn the locking handle 1 Turn at a time clockwise and latch it in tell it is snug, do not over tighten! If that wont work send it in, They will fix the problem....

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...

I had the same problem. The battery is a really tight fit in the charger but I was able to get it out with a little persistence.

I had that problem to start with then I saw where the latch was not locking in all the way. I had to apply a little extra pressure to lock it in place and it has not fallen out after that.

I think someone must have played some cruel trick on you. My Lenovo ideapad swaps out with a click release of the two latches on the bottom. If yours are glued, you need to take it to a repair shop. That is NOT a part of the original design.

Always try changing the battery if you haven't just put one in. Also, liquid can spill into the guts. I did that and fixed it by opening it up and using a hair dryer to dry it out. It still took a day or two before it was reliable. Caution: opening it up can be tricky to put it back together. If you got it at Costco, take it back.

See if there is a plastic tab that is preventing he battery from making contact. If it has one you may have to pull it out. If it's not that then it's just because the unit is likely defective. It's a super cheaply made unit.

No problems with ours, have been using it for a couple of months now. Latch is tricky, and easily broken.

push up on the thumb lever holding the battery in and the battery should pop out.

Maybe you might open and re- close battery door. It doesn't always close well. I have never seem that message. If that doesn't work, call Garmin. They are very helpful.

The battery and cover is a tight fit... you have to ensure the cover secure around the entire edge of the case. I found after removing and replacing the cover several times the cover doesn't remain tight and requires additional and specific pressure around the entire edge of the case to close it tightly and completely.

Never had an issue with mine, Is it in upside down or the latch broken? When inserted the right way it just falls in and out.
