Thankyou! I'll be able to replace the battery soon.
Thank you. These instructions just helped me to replace the worn out battery on our V8 Animal in 5 minutes! Now it's humming along again with 3 blue bars. Great! (Note: I was concerned I might strip the screw head but I just pressed harder while turning and the screwdriver did not slip. Then I saw that the replacement battery came with four new replacement screws. So, it's all good.)
