How to insert batteries?

Batteries are portable power sources needed to operate many electrical appliances. Many devices are sold in stores without autonomous batteries. This means that after purchasing a household appliance, a person will have to go to the store, select, purchase and install the batteries themselves.

How to insert batteries correctly?

Many of the devices we need every day are powered by portable batteries and rechargeable batteries. From time to time, after charging has expired, they need to be replaced. In order for the device to work again, a person will have to buy similar batteries, carefully remove the old batteries from the socket, and then carefully install new ones.

Important! At first glance, the task is simple. But sometimes problems arise with installing batteries, because they are all different and have different characteristics.

Selection and purchase

When going to a specialized store, you need to study the type of batteries that are necessary for the normal operation of the device. This can be done using the instructions for the device. A small instruction book will describe the types of batteries that fit into the socket of this device.

Reference! To avoid making a mistake in your choice, it is recommended to take dead batteries with you to the store. Experienced sellers will select an analogue or sell you an exact copy of such batteries.

You can make a purchase only after making sure that the device really works. If it is small, you can take it with you to the store. In other cases, you will have to follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Checking markings and integrity

After purchasing, do not rush to immediately install the products in the battery compartment. Let them sit at room temperature, especially if it is cold outside and the batteries are very cold.

During this time, you need to carefully check the labeling and type of portable power sources. Examine their integrity to see if there is any damage to the body. Only after this can you install them in the battery compartment.

If the power supply compartment is not easy to locate, please review the instruction manual again. The location of portable batteries must be indicated in a separate paragraph. Open the lid and examine the contents inside.

Important! Typically, the location of the batteries and their type are indicated on the back of the compartment cover. Follow the instructions and everything will work out correctly.

Once everything is ready, you can begin installing the batteries. As it turns out, not everyone knows how to do this correctly and quickly. Therefore, a step-by-step guide will be very helpful and will help you deal with the problem once and for all.

General installation algorithm

The principle of operation is very simple. Even small children can handle it. Do everything carefully and without unnecessary effort, this will allow you to quickly and accurately replace or install the power source.

The action diagram is as follows:

  • open the battery compartment cover (you need to do this by simply pressing the special “tab” or unscrewing the additional screw on the cover);
  • remove the old batteries (if the device has already been used, it has dead batteries, pull it towards you by the positive pole - it will give in easily);
  • prepare new batteries (they should be at room temperature and not damaged);
  • install according to the indicated polarity (the positive pole is usually located on the opposite side of the spring);
  • Replace the compartment cover (snap or tighten the screw back, pressing lightly on the plastic).
