Do you need to unscrew to access the battery? Don't want my child to be able to get to battery.

The battery compartment is secured with screws. Seems to be very safe for small children. I use mine weekly and still love it!

It requires a very small Phillips head screwdriver to open the battery compartment.

Yes. There is a small battery door on the bottom part of the back. with a little screw you need to unscrew to access the battery. According to the info on the battery door,it takes a AG13/LR44 button battery. Looks like you would need a very small Phillips screwdriver to open it. Never had to replace any of them yet. (I have 2). Since there are 3 additional screws on the back of the stopwatch to hold it together,I doubt if a small child would even know there is a battery in there or how to get it out.

Yes, the small battery compartment is secured by a screw. I think this is a safe stopwatch for children.

On my stop watch you have to unscrew a little screw to get access to the battery. Hope that helps.

I had a problem the first time I removed the battery cover, but found that if you insert something thin under the bottom, where the battery cover makes contact with the front face of the remote, you can life it up and out a small amount, it will come off for easy access. I use my thumb nail but other thin plastic or metal may work better for others. The release on the battery cover seems like a poor engineering design. If you try to hold it on the sides to slide it back, you are holding pressure on the locking point that need to be released.

I have not taken the back off of mine yet, but to do that you would need a screwdriver. I'm not sure why you would remove the back cover? If you need to gain access to the batteries, that is done by removing the white panel on the front of the body under the part that lights up. You don't need a screwdriver to rotate the two latches that hold it on ( you could use a coin or your fingernail). The latches don't fall out, but don't rotate them more then 90 degrees. I hope this helps you Julia.

After removing the screw, push the battery cover up towards the top of the device with your thumb. We haven't had to change the battery, but it was definitely a good question.

Nope. But you can easily twist the top off and pull the battery if you really don't want them on. They are not very bright, though. Not intrusive light. Just a corner marker.

I don't think you can easily remove the battery. I even could not find a place to unscrew the back. I guess screw holes are behind the rubber foots.

No. The battery compartment is hinged. It will flip out. The just touch the hole on the underside of the battery compartment. The battery will pop out for replacement.

Neither. It is very secure as I have difficulty myself getting it open; it takes some finesse, but worth it to keep my toddler from the batteries. I still love this product & this is our 2nd summer with it!

No, if you were going to take the battery off, you would first need to remove the case. However, as cases run, this is one is fairly easy to open. Just get your fingers into a corner and work the phone out. Its designed in such a way as to not allow the phone to fall out on its own too.

We bought this house for a granddaughter last year and I remember installing the batteries in a hidden compartment inside one of the rooms. I remember it had a small screw you had to take out. Wish I could tell you exactly where the battery compartment is. Sorry.

You have to unscrew the seat and plug it into the battery located under the seat.

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

Ya gotta get your fingernail in there and pry it open... can be difficult if you keep your fingernails short... Bigger concern: how do you get the entire case off of the phone once you put it on?!?!?! This thing is so secure I don't think it's ever going to come off again... better hope I don't need to replace a battery any time soon.

You could unscrew the bottom and disconnect the battery for a minute. I haven't done that with this product, but if you are handy, you should be fine unless the stupid battery is soldered directly to something. It should have a plug but I wouldn't know.

You have to destroy the unit to remove the battery. The compartment does screw in and out.

No, if the scooter is folded the battery can't be removed, without unfolding. The battery is quite light, and there is only one.

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.
