Goes in fine... but does anyone else have a problem removing the batteries? It seems to be inside really snug. I have to pry it out? SL1

Try lifting the battery from the bottom (plug) end of the charger. I have difficulty getting the battery out from the other end also. No problem from the other side, the battery comes out rather easily. With my EOS compact I don.t have an y problems also. The battery pops out when I move the little holder to the side. Hope this helps. George T.

I have not had this problem with my EOS-M. I hit the tab in the battery compartment and the battery comes out. Seems about the same fit as the original Cannon battery.

I have had no problems with the batteries in my EOS-M. They work well and come out easily when I hit the tab in the battery compartment.

Mine got completely stuck and I had to take them to the camera store to get them removed. I don't want to damage my beautiful new camera, so I am only using Canon batteries from now on.

The battery compartment is a bit snug. Even the original Canon battery needs a bit of encouragement to come out. I tap it a bit to get either the Canon or Halcyon battery out. Not too bad. -r

When I first put in the batteries, it did not work. I realized that I put the battery holder in the wrong way. Turned it around and it worked. Hope it's that simple!

There are catches built in to the battery box so that the battery does not fall out when you hit the battery eject button. There is nothing else to hang up on, so just give it a good yank. I probably would not pry on it with anything except your hands. You can always call Browning Customer Service.

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.

There is a key that comes with the wand that fits into the bottom of the wand. Just unscrew the bottom and the batteries are right in there. I personally leave it unscrewed a little when I'm not using it so the batteries don't wear out.

I have three 40v G-max 4 ah batteries and all were tight in the cultivator and difficult to remove to varying degrees. I found there are some rough edges in the battery compartment that can be smoothed down with a file and will allow the batteries to be more easily removed. They are in the top-front of the compartment and can be felt with your fingers. It only took a couple of minutes of filing.

That has happened to me a few times, though it's usually just one edge and not enough that I can't get the rest of the case off without pulling more of the battery cover with it. It's not ideal, I agree, just a downside of the snug fit. I know the instructions say to remove it starting from the bottom edges, but I've found that if you do it from the top and get one edge off without pulling the battery cover with it, and you put a finger in there and run it across toward the other top edge, it tends to come off without any issues. The top snap-in tabs that hold the battery cover on seem to hold better than the bottom ones do when taking the case on and off in my experience.

That screw was impossible for me to remove. I did remove it at first and put in batteries, but could not get it out the second time. I finally pried open the compartment and then duct taped it closed. I also had to duct tape the wand on, since it came off or the cats pulled it off. That stayed on. My advice is to, once you get the compartment opened, don't put the screw back in. Just tape the lid.

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.

Yes I found that it took a bit of time and patience to wiggle the battery out of its slot. I actually took two thin wooden wedges and was able to get the tip of each one both sides of the battery and slowly nudge the battery out of it's slot. When I put the new battery in I put some duct tape on each side of the base and fashioned a handle so the next time I could more easily pull the old battery out of its slot. It is just a matter of having a thin strong implement to wedge in the small openings on the side and work the battery out of its slot. Good luck

Don't pry it off. Take the 2 screws out of the front of the switch and the back of the switch will separate from the back. The batteries will be exposed.

I would check that your batteries are pushed tightly down into the compartment. I haven't had any problems with mine at all, so I'm just guessing here. Good luck

If I remember right, it's harder than it should be. :) The battery installs in the back, and goes into the slot on it's side. There's a tab on the battery door that needs to fit into the small slot midway down the battery. That tab seems to lock the battery into place.

I do it all the time. This will help prevent dust and dirt from getting in when you constantly take it off and put it back on. Just remember to remove the batteries if stored for more than a day.

When I first received it I couldn't get it off either. After working at it for awhile and a few unkind words I finally was able to remove it and put the batteries in. Now it is easy to open and close(I just went and tried to make sure) so keep trying or ask for help. I think that it was worth the beginning frustration.

I had the same problem and couldn't remember how to get the battery out.The unit separates at the point where the light gray meets the darker gray. Just pull hard enough at that point and the battery compartment will pull out. What probably happens is that it gets residue on the plastic or age just causes it to become more difficult due to not opening it frequently. If you pull hard enough, it will open. It is a single AAA battery that is needed.

Just make sure you don't remove the covering that allows it to stick to the battery and you can swap out batteries. You just have to make sure it's arranged right when putting the cover back on. It will make sense when you see it for yourself.
