how easy is it to change the batteries?

Easy enough to change the batteries, but you end up doing it too many times cos the battery life is very short.

Extremely. Slide up, replace, slide down. And I don't have the battery life issue others complain about but I am single.

Hey Chris, to change the batteries, just look to the left of the yellow power-on button and you will see a hole that's a little deep, that's where the screw is located. Just loosen that one screw and the section below it will come off and expose the batteries. Hope this helps.

Yes, it isn't really that difficult, but it is a little unique. You have to take out the key part, which is the same way you would change the battery. Then you will have just the old shell and the circuit board. There is a little hole in the front of the circuit board thing (in the yellowish part) and there are two holes about evenly spaced on the green part of the board. What I did was use a metal tooth cleaning device (like a pick) and pried the board out by first pulling on the front slot in the yellow part, then I used the hook of the pick to get into one of the round holes in the board itself and pulled it the rest of the way out. Use firm, but gentle pressure. I figure if I broke one hole I would still have the other one. Just be careful, take your time, and be gentle. I'll try to include a pic if possible.

Yes you have to remove them to change the batteries but it is really easy. It's durable and I've enjoyed it. Changed mouse batteries just recently. Everything snaps right back in.

yes its very easy and it uses two smaller 6 volt batteries rather than one large 12 volt.

You can buy batteries and change them. It is pretty easy, unless you are within the warranty period I don't think any store will take it back

The batteries are not hard to change. There is a tiny screw in the handle where they go. It uses three (3) G10 button cell batteries. The equivalent to G10 is LR1131 or LR1130. When I changed mine, they came with LR1131s but I could not find them so I used the LR1130. It also listed in the handle 389. Battery makers sometimes discontinue batteries as I found out, but the LRs work fine. I hope this helps

Yes. The 'switch' pushes out sideways and it's easy to replace the batteries. Note: the batteries last a long time!

It's pretty easy. There's a door you open on the black unit under the strap. Make sure you replace the battery with an alkaline battery. (Not lithium battery)

You just pluck the light assembly out of the top. It clicks in and out for changing batteries.

I have never changed the batteries...It has worked well ever since we got it. That's been about 4 months now.

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.

I have not had to open it up to change it, but figure it takes a button battery. There are two tiny screws to open the little case.

Yes, quite easily. Right beside the closure area is a "pocket" that you slide out & replace the battery. Hope this helps you.

Actually easy. I used a standard screwdriver to open the case, than just unclip battery from the housing.

I replace the batteries for my husband and I think they are easy. Maybe just because they are bigger. My husband also says he can hear better with these than the $2000.00 aid he has purchased from a dealer.

No, the process is quite easy and simple. Keep in mind, with daily use, you will need to change batteries once a month. The keyboard begins to type erratically when the batteries get low, the mouse will run itself all, never doing what you want it to do. At the point when you are ready to throw it all away and go back to corded, change the batteries. Two AAA in the keyboard and one in the mouse.
