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?
