This devise has a built-in long-life battery. It is designed to be charged externally on a regular basis. They come with a car-adapter plug (cigarette lighter) for charging, and can be used while charging. You can also use a home adapter (does not come with devise) to plug the cigarette plug into a house wall outlet. In short -- the batteries were never intended to be 'replaced', simply recharged.

Sorry to break the bad news but, it's time to either get a new unit or keep it plugged into the wall from now on. This unit has some type of proprietary battery that is not replaceable. I had the same problem and had to just get a new unit. Upgraded to the Uniden UBR243 model.

It is simple to replace the battery. You have to unscrew the battery cover, take the old battery out, replace the battery with the same type battery and then replace the battery cover.

Make sure you change both batteries at the same time. Do the one on the door first. Also I had one that quit working and the company sent me a new one in just a couple of days. Have not had trouble since. Really good customer service. It does have a warranty.

Hello,There is no way to change battery on this unit as it is solar powered and sealed. Please contact us at pxh@game-group.com for a free replacement of the new and improved model. Thank you

That is the only way to change battery is to get the screws out. I haven't had to change mine yet, but you need to get the cover off. Try to make sure you have the right screwdriver to fit so you don't strip the screws.

Facing towards the opposite side of where the battery goes,there is alittle tab on the cover which ya gently push in alittle bit, in the opposite direction,while gently lifting and sliding the cover towards the end with the little tab.That will expose the battery.Once ya change the battery,reverse the procedure making sure the battery is centered in that plastic cover so it sets back into its' respective position.Do NOT FORCE or you will break it.Take your time and look at it.It's really not that hard to do.I just had to go look at mine,then remove and replace the plastic cover cause I did it awhile ago.So look at it,take your time,and everything should work out alright.Good luck!

In many cities you can find an Interstate Battery Center or store. They should be able to help you. You should remove the battery and take it with you.

The batteries are enclosed in the dome part of the unit behind the LED and sensor. You can unscrew the battery encasing from the unit but you would need to get up to the unit to change the battery.

I have not had to change the battery yet. If you have a Batteries Plus in your area, I would suggest you take it there just to get their advice. That is what I will do.

There is a pin on the exterior, remove pin, turn the unit slightly and let it down. Squeeze the power holding cable connector to release it from unit. The battery compartment is in the bottom, open replace exactly as you remove and relock the battery door. Replace as you removed.

On my unit there is a battery light but there is not a location for a batter on the unit I purchased.

Hi Gayle - Turn the entire unit until it lines up with the box...drop it in ---seal it and return it to Amazon!!! Order A FOFA XD and walk away its a great unit from Amazon and you don't need power tools to change the battery. Best Regards, Tim S.

Try taking the batteries out for an hour from both units. Re-sync. Good luck.

I know that the company has the batteries because they sent me a new one when I complained that mine would not hold a charge. My suggestion is to call the company at the number listed in the manual which is 1-800-798-7398. If you have had yours less than one year, they may send a new one free. Good luck.

Easy. I recently replaced batteries on two units after 2 years of use (10-20x cycles per day per unit). The 9V batteries are under the inside plate. It took me about 2 minutes and required a common Phillips head screwdriver. One unit had a completely discharged battery. I replaced the battery in unit #2 ... "just because". Both units retained all of the codes; although re-coding is easy (if you have the instructions ;^)

I had the same problem and had to return the battery. I went and purchased a whole new unit. Careful if you order a battery because if you have to return it, Amazon doesn't let you because it is a hazardous item. I went through a lot trying to return it to the vendor. The one I received was also broken. Good luck.
