Install battery

You must install the battery into the replacement controller canister. You can install the battery that you removed from the original controller canister or install a new battery that you ordered.

Before you begin

  • You have the battery from the original controller canister.
  • You have the replacement controller canister.
  1. Turn the replacement controller canister over, so that the removable cover faces up.
  2. Press down on the cover button, and slide the cover off.
  3. Orient the controller canister so that the slot for the battery faces toward you.
  4. Insert the battery into the controller canister at a slight downward angle.
    You must insert the metal flange at the front of the battery into the slot on the bottom of the controller canister and slide the top of the battery beneath the small alignment pin on the left side of the canister.
  5. Move the battery latch up to secure the battery.
    When the latch clicks into place, the bottom of the latch hooks into a metal slot on the chassis.
