Struggling to remove battery pack from Sentinel LE V5

[xBreadGuy]

I’ve tried banging it on tables, I’ve tried shaking it, I’ve tried hitting it very hard on a surface but the speaker and battery pack just won’t come out! Should I try something else?

Hi xBreadGuy

Hopefully this video might help. First off Emory shows the banging techniques but method three uses a chopstick or dowel rod to ease the pack out (at around the 2min 36sec mark). Be aware as you have a Sentinel you won't be able to remove the emitter but should be able to slide the LED out and still push the batteries out the bottom, just take great care.

Hope this helps.

I don't know if you have a sound saber or not.
But if it is a stunt saber you can sometimes hook something in between the battery and the batterypack. I used to use the hexwrech to pull it out carefully.

Hope you can get it out.

If you do, this is my sollution to future problems, attach a ribbon to pull it out later:

footnote:

Yes the stubborn battery packs can be pushed out from behind if the emitter can be removed first, but just a hint if you do, ideally use a wooden dowel or "chopstick" or something non metallic to avoid shorting something. I see videos on YouTube where someone uses a long pair of (metal) forceps ..
