Have any tricks to remove the existing batteries from the APC frame?

Pop off the front plastic cover. There might be one screw holding the batteries in behind a plate. Once removed, there is an electrical connector that needs to be disconnected. The batteries should slide out just by pulling on them. If they don't budge, they might be bulged. In that case, you would need to disassemble the chassis some more.

There is no trick, just patience as they're attached with double sided foam tape. Just try to use a long flat head screw driver and try to get under the batteries and slowly rotate the screw driver until the batteries come loose. I don't know if heating the metal plate would help to loosen the tape. Otherwise you have to buy the APC kit that comes with the batteries already mounted in a plate.

They are stuck in there with amazing double sided tape; I good strong flat head screw driver or something similar that your not afraid of bending will get them out.

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

A large screwdriver wedged between them, with a good amount of force applied. :)

They are stuck to the bottom of the tray with some really nasty double sided insulated tape material, no trick to the removal other than rip and tear with a screwdriver. Afterwards the material can be scraped out of the bottom of the tray, try some WD-40 to "dissolve" the stickly residue. I may have even used two screwdrivers prying them apart from each other. In this neck of the woods (Maine) recylcers will pay $$ for old sealed lead acid batteries!Good Luck

There is a piece on the back that slides out for mounting purposes. Take that piece off the battery compartment is there.

You must remove three screws, then pull off one side to access the battery compartment.

A quick search on YouTube and you'll find a few videos, but there isn't much to it really. Getting the back plate off is the hardest thing really. There's a special tool for doing it, but I just used my thumbnail. Start at one of the corners, and as soon as you make a gap you can start working it around the whole back plate until it pops off. You'll then see the battery connector. Pull very gently on the wires and it will slide right out. Now pull upward on the battery and it will resist. There's adhesive tape underneath it to hold it in place. Once the old battery is out, put the new battery in with the same orientation, reconnect the battery connection carefully, snap the back cover on again and charge it up! :)

There is an intermediate internal stop that prevents the battery tray from falling out. Simply pull firmly on the tray to remove it.

Underneath the mounting plate. Slide the plate off to expose the cover to the battery compartment. Remove the battery cover and install the 6 batteries.

I can't see any way to remove the battery compartment, look like all one piece to me. there's nothing in the instruction manual neither. I'll take a picture of it if that helps.

Can't be any more specific than shown in the review, but I've replaced batteries on 2 APCG units and both are still doing ok. The second one I ordered in Dec. 2012. They aren't as well packaged as the official batteries from APC, but they are a lot cheaper from Amazon's Battery Supersite. Your dimensions and specs seem to match. I don't recall there being a product number though the company may use one.

They should slide off the old batteries and then slide on to the new batteries. It is a tight fit , so you might have to wiggle it back and forth a tad to help it come off.

On either side of the body there are two buttons.Depress the buttons and separate the back portion of the body from the backs portion.I find it easier to push in one button and use yor thumbnail to partially separate the back then press the other button and finish removing the back cover.The batteries fit into the front portion.Hope this helps.

Like Jot said, there is a small compartment that holds the two AA batteries. I sometimes have trouble getting it to slide out. Try applying some downward pressure while pulling on it. Another thing would be the pin. There is a lockout pin that came with the detector that is designed to keep the battery compartment from being opened. If it is in it, you would need to remove it before the compartment is opened. I don't use the pins myself because I change the batteries twice a year.

there are lines on the back, push down and slide the back piece off. it should take 2 triple A batteries

Don't pry it off. Take the 2 screws out of the front of the switch and the back of the switch will separate from the back. The batteries will be exposed.

you have to remove two screws, take it apart, then have access to the battery!

you can remove one side of the plastic cover, use a knife or something thin to start removing it next to the metal ring. Only one side will come off. then pull out the light and battery holder and replace the batteries

The batteries are under the decorative plate. Pull that up and use a paperclip to lift the batteries out. Hopefully that works for you.

These fobs I ordered have a small screw that inserts in the back of the case. I can remove that tiny screw, pop off the back cover and have total access to the batteries. I hope this helps..
