I am another one of those folks wondering how to open the battery case. A bit of help please. Thank you.

The easiest way I found to open up the Black Diamond Spot Headlamp is by opening it up from the Bottom. Turn the Spot upside down so you're looking at the hinged side of the head lamp. The power button will be down. Then use your thumb or finger to pry up slightly in the middle and pull away or outward. On the matte black spot it will be the Back portion of the spot. That portion will pop out and the the top will still be clipped. If you keep the spot in the same orientation, you'll then pivot the housing out and down to unclip. Don't pull too hard because there are two strips that hold the front housing to the back portion. Good Luck and I hope this helps.

There is a small gap between the battery slide and the handle. I used a small screwdriver to push down just above the arrow in the gap. There is a small plastic hook there that slides up under the handle portion when closed and once it is pushed down you can slide it open. Hope this helps.

Connie, I'm honestly not sure. We tried to pry it open, because you can see a battery in there. I suppose you can change it- if you can get to it! Seems impossible to open.

On the main part, open the case, this will expose the battery. If I remember it is a special battery that you will need to take with you to match. Not cheap either....also the case can be opened while still mounted. Snaps open with a small flat blade screwdriver or pocket knife.

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.

There is a battery door on the bottom. You need a screwdriver to take the screw out first.

I had the same issue. I am going to try to use a different five prong screwdriver to unscrew the battery. Good Luck!

if you look carefully on the side of battery slot you have a plastic cover that you can open.Open that and take the line through that and close the lid!hope it helps you!

I just went & opened mine, just to be sure. It was a piece of cake. Open the safe, push down the tab at the top of the battery compartment & pull it out & down. It's pretty simple. It catches at the top & the bottom just has a slot it sits in.

Turn the light so the black on/off button is on top. On that same side of the bulb/battery case, you'll see a series of little ridges, then the lip of the black back of the case. With one thumb, press down on the little ridges; with the other thumb, push against the lip of the case back until the back comes off. If you're having trouble, put more pressure on the little ridges. Change the batteries. When you're putting the case back together, put the other edges of the case together, then press down on the little ridges while you bring the back to snap back together.

There are two little tabs on the back side for two battery locations. Just pull on the tabs and it will open.

The battery compartment on mine is actually quite easy to open. I can just slip my nails in the crack at the top back and push slightly and it slips right off. You could also use the tip of a butter knife or something similar to slip in the crack and nudge it open, then it will simply slide off. To get it back on, make sure you line up the top up level and slide it right up through the little plastic "holders" that are on both sides.

There is a small round indentation on the bottom of the remote..press on this and it will very slightly open. You can then pry it open to remove the old battery. It's a little awkward. Hope this helps.

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 also have trouble getting the battery cover open. It works best if you pull up at the notch on top with you finger nail while pushing up on the cover.

To make it a little more clear - holding charger upright with the battery and label facing you so you can read it - push the battery hard to the right and pull up on the left side like the others said. Too bad the giant arrow telling you which way to push is UNDER the battery when it is stuck. Couple of tries and you will quickly get the hang of it!

On the side of the charger there is a rounded spot where you just push your finger against the battery and lift it out. It will come out fairly easy.
