Obsidian Lite - battery issue

[Kazuto]

So I know I have had my Savior for over a week now and my Bellicose for 3 days, but I was just taking the batteries out of all my sabers, and I got to the savior and I have no idea how I am going to remove the 4 batteries for when they eventually need replacing without possibly breaking it, is there a tutorial on this? Or am I going to need to upgrade my Savior and Bellicose to premium sound?

I just shove a plastic fork or tool into the positive end of a battery and pry it out. Typically, they’re easier to remove than the lithium-ion batteries and those are a pain

What exactly is the issue? I don't have any sabers with Lite, but I do know the batteries can be changed.

It seems taped in;

 

[scifidude79]

Ah, I thought it may have been that. You have to carefully peel back the tape to get to them. That was done to fix the notorious issue with those packa and the batteries popping out.

[Infinit01]

It’s just electrical tape so you can always replace it if necessary

[Kazuto]

So the soundboard won't pop off?

I believe that they use a bit of hot glue to hold it in place of the battery case so it shouldn't.   I would just keep electrical tape around since they do wear when you remove the batteries often if you use it a lot like I do.

Also, what I did was remove the batteries and instead of wrapping the soundboard and the batteries together, I just wrapped the electrical tape around the battery case and then place the batteries back on. That way, when you remove the batteries, you never have to mess with the electrical tape that tapes the soundboard down.

I'm sure I'll figure something out, just wanted to make sure it wasn't at risk of easily breaking, though both came with doublesided Velcro, that might have been the battery hold in solution.

This is the tape that you must leave on the battery pack.  The remainder can be easily removed by peeling off or using something like an exacto knife or thin scissors to cut the tape between the batteries.  Batteries can be removed by pressing the battery down on the spring end to release.  Using a Velcro strip will help to keep the batteries from shifting.  










These plastic picks from Starbucks are really handy for gently lifting under a battery to pop them out.  Do wear out with use but are free.

Very clever use, and thanks for the tip.

It's double sided tape, but close enough.

Weird, my Standard Issue has hot glue that didn’t hold up well after a while

Wait, we're talking the Lite board here. I'm thinking of Premium, where they use the double sided tape. My mistake. The tape is the thick stuff that holds really well.

My SI is a premium sound board that had hot glue used on both sides of the board to adhere it to the battery pack
