Does it come off the wall easily for battery replacement, it is it best to just install it so gravity allows the batteries to fall when u open it?

There is a thin magnetic strip with adhesive that attaches to wall. The light then sticks to the magnet. Changing batteries is as easy as removing light from magnet.

My is at the entry of my house - also not such a great idea although it will alert you if the power is disconnected from it and there's a battery back up -- a burglar could still have enough time to take off, unplug it, and remove the chip before the system has time to react or sound. I think the best thing to do (and I need to do it myself) is maybe install some screws around it so it cannot be removed from the wall too easily or too quickly. I'm worried if move it far from the entrance or "hide" it -- it will be found anyway as soon as the alarm sounds or I won't have enough time to get to it and turn it off before it sounds. The only issue I see with this alarm is that a burglar w/ half a brain could destroy it before it was time to do anything more than send you text message that the power has been disconnected from it -- but it will also send you that message when there's a power outage.

I was stumped too at first. The battery cover is under the handle. Just lift it a bit and you'll see the edges of the battery cover. I remember it sliding off, although it's been a while.

I got the velcro that is adhesive. I just put a small patch of it on the back of the control unit and affixed it to the wall right where a light switch would be. I made sure not to cover up the battery panel, of course. So, it just velcros to the wall but I can take it off easily and use it as a handheld when needed.

Put the ceiling piece in place ...attach the light portion by aligning the piece (see the instruction diagram) and turning it to lock and secure. When you have to replace the battery....turn the light portion the opposite way and it should come off. Go to the website, it has a video which is a great help too. www.mrbeams.com

Assuming you mean "break". Ours has not broken yet. I wouldn't drop it on a hard surface though. The battery/memory card door is thin and this model has no spring to pop open the door but if you're careful when you have the little door open breakage will not be an issue.

We just leave it on the wall bracket so it receives charge all the time. For the first time after fitting the new battery, we left it overnight before using it. For information, the first battery lasted over 8 years so there does not seem to be any problem with leaving the Dust Buster on the wall bracket all the time.

The batteries are accessed from the front, not the back. Just remove the two screws holding on the front cover - it comes off easily, revealing the two batteries.

My walls surfaces are concrete would it be difficult to install on it ? How regular does the battery last and change is necessary ?

To gain access to the battery compartment, you must first separate the unit from its wall mount bracket by sliding it toward the open end of the bracket. I suppose you've tried this already, but it's really difficult the first time and much force is required. I finally succeeded by working my fingers under the rim of the bracket and pulling it directly away as if prying off a bottle cap. Once separated, it slides on and off easily.

The batteries are in the light section, so I only screwed one of the screws into the wall. So it is easier to swing the light to the side and replace the batteries. I live in rainy Seattle area so the batteries rust more often. (^: Light still works and I got the light in 2008. You might be able to tape up the battery compartment to keep the rust from happening as often?

Please forgive my lack of promptness. The unit is not kept at my primary home. Now that I've checked it I can sadly say that "no" it is not wall readily wall mountable. I imagine you could jerry-rig some sort of attachment gear by taking it apart and finding spots where it would be safe to drill holes in the plastic case.I disagree with the person who said it was a piece of junk. There are lemons in every batch of every product, of course, but mine has worked fine for over 2 years. I usually charge 4 batteries at a time, but have never used it twice in the same day. It's never seemed overly warm to me. I love that it lets you drain batteries fully before recharging them. Please forgive my lack of promptness. The unit is not kept at my primary home.

Cover on the top of the unit slides off easily. 4 AA batteries. I replace every 6 months to make sure they are fresh. But the light on the unit flashes to let you know when the batteries get low.

It should be fairly easy to pry the cover off. You can use a small screwdriver or a fingernail to pop the cover in the direction that is indicated by the little arrow 90 degrees from the pocket clip. Mine pops right off and the battery will slide out.

Yes! the mounting bracket does release from the light. Before you mount it pull down HARD on the BRACKET until it releases. When you have them separated you can easily see how the light slides into the bracket. Mount the bracket but leave enough clearance to lift the light out of the bracket. When sliding the light back into place you can slide it back just enough to keep it attached or you can apply force and have it snap into place. I just have mine slide into place for easier battery replacement.

Yeah super easy - you just squeeze an end away from the wall and remove it. We put ours up every night and remove it every morning.

Falls? The action of gravity pulling it down, or did you mean 'fail'? I have not experienced this product failing in the sense of charging. All my batteries hold a charge, it just takes a few hours. (Hence why I keep extra batteries.) If the question indeed was about fall, I have not dropped the item so I can't give feed back on it's durability. Bottom-line, I works well and is cheap. Some of my favorite things.
