Fred1988 Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) As the title says I'm trying to open up the AA power functions battery box. I need to resolder one of the terminals. I've taken the two screws out but can't get the 2 halves to come apart. All I could find online was to pull them apart but it seems they have little notch things holding them together and I don't want to destroy it in the process. Cheers!

dr_spock Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 After you've removed the screws, you can pull the inside part out in the direction away from the switch. You may have to pry gently to free the two halves. Quote
Fred1988 Posted December 19, 2015 Author Posted December 19, 2015 Hey Dr_Spock. I've taken the two screws out and I've grabbed the middle where the batteries go and pull as hard as I can and I can't even get it to budge. Do they have little notches to lock it in? I'll try on one of my other two battery boxes I have. I may just have one that's being difficult. Thanks for that link Zux. Was a good read. Quote
doug72 Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 It will pull apart but its quite a tough - the two bosses on the internal part into which the screws go, click into a small recess and once screws removed found if pull each side alternatley it finally pulls apart. Its easy the 2nd time. No batteries were harmed during this process !! Quote
