What is a good way to remove the cables from the existing battery? They look determined to stay put.

I used rubber handled pliers. One came right off and the other required a little extra effort.

There is a very small connector, very similar to the one inside a cordless handset that would connect the battery pack. Mine was on the left inside of the Fios box - it was not a "cable." Just a small connection that was easily pulled out and the new one placed back.

I'm not sure the way I did it is Verizon approved, but it worked for me. Don't try to remove cables from battery; remove battery and cables FROM THE BOX. There is a little snap clip, same kind as connects phones to wall, in top of box that holds battery. Take the whole thing out and then unscrew the cables from the battery in a comfortable position. Might want to use rubber handle screwdriver. I remember getting a spark with metal to metal contact at some point in this process. Hope this helps.

You should be able to just wiggle them off. I don't remember having any problems. Good luck.Diana

They just need to be wiggled & pulled out! The Black one should come off easily. The red one requires a little effort because of the plastic cover interfering - gently tap the plastic cover out with a small wood hammer or something similar while pulling the cable out.

They are removable, you can pull them off the terminal, and push them back on. Just remember the terminals that you pulled the wires from, they are color coded. Black and red.

Personally I would remove them. They will hold 70% of their charge for 5 years. Hope that helps! Ray

Not hard, just loosen the cable clamps pull the cable through, and retighten the clamps.

Just squeeze tabs on either side of the lower part of the handle and pull down. Battery should slide out then slide fresh battery in and your good to go. Tabs are tight at first, but battery will come out.

There is a small piece of plastic across the power input terminals under the battery. This must be removed for operation.

The back piece slides off to replace batteries. Use your dumbs and push downward.

The metal base slides off. Just pull the plastic mechanism from the metal sleeve. Then the battery is exposed.

Once the top is off, hold the bottom and top at the same time and pull in different directions. The bottom will slip off to reveal the battery case. It takes 1 triple A battery.

I had the same problem. The battery is a really tight fit in the charger but I was able to get it out with a little persistence.

There's a small plastic tab between the batteries and the contacts. Pull that out.

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 don't have that problem, but I would make sure I have the right size battery and that nothing is underneath the battery that should be removed.

Since you're disconnecting the air bag, you should disconnect the battery NEGATIVE terminal first. If you can replace a disc drive or a hard drive you've got it made. Two covers and screws (just above steering column) removes airbag then two screws each for buttons. The cable disconnects should be studied first, a small flat blade is needed on one side before pulling. The harness routing was tricky for my huge hands. Reassemble and cruise.

APC glues the batteries to the frame with double sided tape, you just need to pry them out

With an allen wrench that they provide. You unplug the cable and take them out. I bought the covers also and that protects them.

I put them in my patio and poured locking sand around it... you should be able to pry it up when it comes time to change the battery. then you put more sand around it
