is there a guard around battery prongs when 1st received?

Well.. I don't think I will be able to help...my battery # is BL91015 18V and it has a complete black plastic surround around the prongs.

There are prongs but they are not very strong. I soldered the contacts and the Gizmo is now working just fine.

Take battery door off, there is a small knob in there. Use a small screwdriver. The seconds are not marked off. Just have to estimate.

I didn't install any additional fuses. I'm guessing the ground wire is there to protect the battery connection. It was easy for me to do it, so I did.

Did you remove the clear plastic tab that stops the battery from making proper contact?

Yes, there is a place in the battery slot. It's only visible when you have the compartment open and are able to see the batteries. That's why some people have answered no, because they didn't look there.

I've had mine for several years and I do not remember having installed a battery in it.

No but it id GFCI protected with a reset switch. We are very pleased with the quality of this item.

You got doubly-screwed. Mine DID come with batteries (and they're still good!), and DID come with the obviously-essential plastic battery holder. Contact the seller (and Amazon if you don't get a quick, satisfactory response/replacement).

none that I know of. I mounted mine close but thats because it was convenient. Since it is wired directly to battery it just depends on how much wire you want to use.

Yes - the battery is packaged in foam blocking of various sizes/thicknesses for securing in the larger factory battery box. The foam is not perforated though.

The only suggestion that I can make is to trace all the wires and make sure that all the connections are tight. If the battery is fully charged it can only be a loose wire someplace or a defective switch.

Just received my lock and the battery was not included, even though it was supposed to have been. I installed the lock in just a few minutes and it is working great.

Unscrew the battery case, the part with the button. There's probably a tag or plastic between the batteries so it didn't get turned on by accident during shipping

I don't know what the connection prongs for your number look like. There are 18 volt batteries that appear to the same on the outside, but the connection prongs are different. That is something you need to check.

Yes. I had not checked all different battery pictures carefully because the battery was advertised as a replacement.My connectors were for wider battery terminals and the terminals had plastic on them that did not match my connectors.The plastic on the terminals just slide off. I assUme that they were for protection instead of connections? Don't know.My large connectors fit okay on the smaller terminals so I did not bother returning and ordering a better fitting battery with more amp hours for 25 cents more.

No, there is over-charge protection built into the battery. With that being said, I still remove my batteries when I see the charge is complete. The 18 month warranty doesn't hurt either :-)
