How to Remove Batteries

~ Posted on Friday, May 16, 2014 at 6:12 AM ~

Just sharing my personal tips on how to remove batteries as I was struggling with one few days back. After I did this, it makes my life sooo much easier! Just a tiny piece of ribbon and everything is fine and dandy!

What you need is just a piece of ribbon or flat string/cloth - of course ribbon is the best choice as it is flat and thin. I don't suggest using rubber band as after some time, the rubber band might dry up and stick to the batteries or the battery compartment.

  • Cut the ribbon long enough to have extra about half inch on both sides of the battery compartment.
  • Just before placing in the batteries, gently put the ribbon in place of the batteries.
  • You will see the extra bits of the ribbon jutting out on both sides after you put in the batteries.
  • To remove batteries, what I did was hold one side of the ribbon end while I gently yanked up the other end of the ribbon. Tadaaaaahhh!!!

Do you have any other tips to share?
