Having major difficulties getting the red wire unattached from the old battery. I'm worried I'll rip it if I pull too hard.

You need to push downward as you are pulling either the red or black wires off. If you push down while pulling off the wire it should come off without much force.

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

It is very tight fit, just pull the wire downward with a steady pressure and the wire will come off. The replacement battery works fine.

Yes a little difficult to keep the connectors on when sliding the battery back in place. They sent an adaptor when i emailed them about it

I haven't been able to remove my convertor. I don't know if I'm not pulling hard enough and I don't want to break it.

My Viefly 331 came with the red battery lead unconnected. It was obvious where it had been connected. I soldered it back on, but when I was putting it back together the black wire came loose. I soldered that on and it's been working ever since.

yea, stick a tiny piece of folded paper or very thin cardboard under the clip that holds the battery down without obstructing the connection for power, and it wont do it anymore. It's just the battery getting knocked around.

When i opened this the socket was hard to pull apart. My struggles resulted in jamming a screwdriver in to seperate them. Eventually it came apart. I pulled through the wire, wrapped the appropriate wires bwhind the screws, put it all together and badda bing!

I am replacing an existing one and I had one red wire that was capped off. I hope that helps:)

It does not come with instructions. When you remove the old battery, the attached wire will have 2 clips that attach to the new battery. set both batteries side by side and you can't go wrong.

Did you pull the cord hard enough? The first one I had we had to pull the cord really hard. I wound up exchanging it for another. The new one I received was much easier to pull.

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

make sure both 120 plug in and 12v battery are disconnected. Disconnect the two 12 volt wires and the two 120 volt wires. In front of the unit there are two small screws facing down. remove those and the unit will slide out.

I have had no problems removing the battery. Make sure you are pulling it from the right side. As the picture shows from the top. If you try from the bottom it has a latch and its impossible to remove from that end. Hope this helps. G.

I didn't pull any. I just put a battery tender on. They want you to pull fuses so there is less drawing off the battery so it doesn't go dead or get low during programming.

Gently pull the battery out by wire's. It's against better judgment but it works.

Most of the time the old battery has expanded and it makes it difficult to remove. Patience is key. With a screwdriver and much perseverance the old battery was finally removed.

Once you have removed the battery's housing, you just pull the tips of the wiring attached to the battery. I hope this helps.

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.
