Just received this and am finding it impossible to get the screws out of the base to put the batteries in. What tool is needed?

It requires a mini Philips head screwdriver. You can buy an inexpensive set locally at your local Wally World (Walmart) or Radio Shack; or order one from Amazon if you can wait. You'll end up using them for more than just this, since almost all modern electronics, as well as eyeglasses and sunglasses, use mini or micro screws

Use a flat bladed screwdriver against the wire connector to slide it off the battery. A few light taps should get it going.

Hello, twist and pull remove from wall. Pull out the sliding door. With small flat blade screwdriver pick or pry the batteries out. I see it looks like a tight fit. I hope this helps.

The screws are not screws. They only get a quarter turn to un-lock, then pull on the tab toward you. Mine poped right off to get to the batteries.

take the 3 flash-lights out and unscrew the ends. The batteries just slide out.

I had the same problem. Swollen battery and I couldn't get it to budge. A google search that worked for me was to take a drill with a skinny bit and drill down into the battery, making sure you only drill down half way through the battery. Remove the drill. Use a hex key small enough to insert into the hole you made, or a skinny nail. I had the wife hold onto the remote and I took a hammer and started tapping on the hex key until the battery eventually pride out. I did slide a metal nail file under the battery to provide the lift needed to remove the batter from the compartment as it is sunken down in the remote. I ordered a replacement batter here for around 18 bucks. Hope this is helpful. I had the same problem. Swollen battery and I couldn't get it to budge.

Twist the battery cap (round cap on base) counterclockwise(left) and the cap will come off then remove batteries from battery cavity noting the correct polarity. Place new batteries of same type size and condition into battery holder. Place cap over battery end, press toward batterie and turn right (clockwise) until it is snug. Do not over tighten.

Go to the bottom of the flashlight and unscrew the cap with the knob like surface. The battery box will come right out.It might be pretty tight, so use a pair of pliers with a cloth around the cap. That way you won't scratch the surface.

won't take more than you to do the project and a basic screwdrive should do it! Good Luck!

I used regular phillips screwdriver and a power screwdriver although I think it could all be done with the regular one only. I believe the batteries were AAA but not for sure. We have had it for almost a year I haven't had to replace the first set yet. It was fairly simple to put together and can be done by one person.

This is very simple to open. You twist open where the arrows are for your batteries and then the battery holder just pulls out of the little holes that you line up. Just pull up, it comes right off! Just hold the bottom and pull gently on the black part.

I had the same issue and had to go out and buy a cheap set of torx to get it out. Not easy to get the screws out without stripping them either.

Unscrew the bottom and remove batteries. Replace with new batteries of supported size. Screw the bottom back on. Voila!

There will be a small notch between the colored base and the lens housing. Place a penny in this slot and twist. It should separate exposing the batteries. Replace your batteries and then snap the two halves back together. Good luck.

There are four small Phillips head screws that need to be removed. It can be frustrating to make sure that everything is assembled correctly after replacing the batteries, but it is possible to do so and should not take more than about 5 minutes.

Hi,The four screws you mentioned have to be removed and the top will come off. The batteries are in the top. The screws are hard to turn, it will help if you have the right screwdriver. A very small philips head works the best. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.Good luck!!
