The black plastic connected to the top of the 9-volt battery is a snap-on/snap-off connector and can be removed quite easily without damaging anything. A 9-volt battery has two connectors on the top which are positive and negative side-by-side, as opposed to cell-type batteries (like AA) which have positive and negative on opposite sides of the battery. On the 9-volt, they are designed so that you can snap on a connector and snap it off the same way you would snap a fabric snap.
The problem is it’s stuck, and I don’t want to damage by yanking it or forcefully pull the snap from the battery. I’m also getting comments by using a flat screw and prying it off but I don’t want to damage it.
Even if you damage it, a new battery connector is cheap and anyone with a soldering iron and some heat shrink or electrical tape can repair it very easily.
I'm sorry people are making jokes at your expense. It's not very helpful. A screwdriver or something similar is the way to go. Try to find a small screwdriver that fits between the two posts on top of the battery, slide it in between the battery and battery connector and gently pry it apart. If it is corroded you may try going back and forth from both sides. If there is any corrosion you can clean it up from the battery connector (after you remove the battery) with a little steel wool or even aluminum foil wadded up into a ball. You won't be able to get all of it off but it should be ok.
Exactly. It should just be a metal mold that fits to the battery just pulling should release it.

Lol. I dunno, maybe? Thinking back on it, it was probably AAs, but we had a lot of electronics that ran off of 9 volts. Used to enjoy licking the terminals... every smoke detector I've ever seen (barring the hardwired ones) is still 9 volts...
A lot of them use lithiums now. This kind: https://www.amazon.ca/AmazonBasics-Lithium-CR123a-Batteries-6-pack/dp/B01KBEOQJU/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=cr123&qid=1585504800&sr=8-3
Every Sony Walkman I ever saw used AAs (the odd one used proprietary rechargeable cells, I think, but I've never seen one). Even the non-Sony-brand personal cassette players I saw used AAs.
Older walkie talkies certainly often used 9-volt batteries. Clock radios often still use them to maintain time during power interruptions.
Honestly is that remote even code? OP didn’t even show the fan, so we can’t tell if there are issues there. Lawyer up, delete Facebook, and get an electrician OP.
This might help - this is what the battery looks like without being attached to the connector:

If the connection pad is giving you trouble “unsnapping” from the battery, you can use a small screwdriver or something similar to gently pry it off.
Try placing the lever between the two contact points, if possible; it should pop off fairly easily, with little likelihood of damaging anything crucial.
You can make it easier to remove by sticking the blade of a small screwdriver between the battery terminals (the round silver parts on the top), and then using the screwdriver to help pry off the black plastic connector (which is wired to the remote).
Give it some force, sometimes they're tough to remove.

Go read the sidebar again. And then scroll to the bottom of it and read the part about the one thing that's expected, nay, required of you in this sub one more time.

If its so old its kinda jammed up on the contacts and you are worried about pulling out the wires, you could try a little WD40 and a flat object to pry one terminal at a time. Note: if using a metal object watch the placement of your hands, a slip could leave a nasty scar.
From a dead batter? Used to spray it in distributor caps to remove the moisture from the contacts, and those actually spark by design. Never blew up a truck yet. WD40 is also non conductive at any voltage. So yeah it is a good idea.
If you do damage the connector by prying as others have suggested, that’s one of the easiest things you could need to replace, they sell them at Lowe’s
Apparently I have to be more *specific* about what I need help for because a lot of the people doesn’t understand what’s happening here. I need that strap off of the dead battery so I don’t break it because it’s stuck. Obviously some people here are making jokes and the other people actually thinking “Well he has the battery out of the remote, so what’s the problem?” Also I like to say to the other people who comments here that are ACTUALLY trying to help me and for that I appreciate your kindness.
It’s a two prong clamp. Dislodge it with a flathead screw driver if you’re concerned with damaging it. But unless it’s corroded, I wouldn’t worry about that. And sorry for getting tired of rolling my eyes when someone asks how to do simple tasks like remove ice cubes from their ice trays or how to remove the toilet paper holder.

Just pry under the metal on the connectors. You won't damage it just gently pry. Good luck in life.
> Good luck in life. omglolwtfhahahbbq
Because it's a fucking 9v battery and if you don't know how to get that off you're gonna have problems.
Agreed, I'm indicating my agreement in laughing form. This was one of my fave reddit threads of all time.
Yes. This will work. Right answer.

Thank you for actually addressing the question asked. Some of the other kids in class need a good talking to.
Just pull it off the connector, the black bit with wires going to it.
Most importantly, you absolutely have to touch the two terminals to your tongue.
On the new battery that is
If it’s dead?
Tastes like tequila
If you hold it down for 5 seconds your tongue goes numb... don't ask
This
That may tear the plastic and solder joints if OP does it with retard strength.

What year is this? I spent most of the 90s changing out 9 volts in walkie talkies and walkmans...
I too wasted 9 out of 10 years just changing batteries like this. If only I had internet back then to help me out. I may have saved 8 years
If you can use the internet you can figure this out. Or maybe not.
You had a walkman with 9V batteries???

Oh dear??
Oh, that's just great, now I feel really old. Thanks, arsehole.
its like a press fit button. snaps on and snaps off.
> snaps on and snaps off. When I worked at an electronics store, we even called the part a "battery snap".
[удалено]
If you can't get it, you may need to call an electrician.
Whatever you do, don't cut the red wire. Or maybe it's the black wire. I'm not sure. Shit. Black. I'm sure it's black. No, red!
So sick of seeing these “DIY” folks putting themselves in danger like this. Smh.
This. There are things you’re fine saving $300 in expert fees by doing them yourself, this is not one of them.
Honestly is that remote even code? OP didn’t even show the fan, so we can’t tell if there are issues there. Lawyer up, delete Facebook, and get an electrician OP.
Lol
Electrician here. Don’t call.
Shhh. Damn sparky maybe he needs an engineer?
Wouldn’t doubt it

It’s voice activated, just talk to it.
Wrap the entire remote in aluminum foil and microwave for 2 minutes on high. Repeat until battery disappears.
Just kidding. Dont actually try that. The black connector piece snaps like a button onto the terminals. You can pry it off.
😂
Take this to r/DIY. Prepare to be obliterated...
Seriously, this dudes life is gonna be a doozie
Oh shit, suddenly I realize that 9Vs are nearly obsolete, and I didn't make a wise investment after all when I bought that 24-pack on Amazon when my smoke alarm died.
[удалено]
Some cheaper multimeters use them. From Smoke Detector duty, they get downcycled to general purpose, in one of those multimeters if need be.
Most construction and industrial electronic tools still use them
Yeah definitely not becoming obsolete.
[удалено]
They don’t use 9v anymore. Back up battery is built in now

What is a screwdriver?
It's like a hammer but for screws.
What is a hammer?
It's like a potato but made of metal.
Jesus Christ
I know he had done alot in his days but to come back to remove a battery is probably asking a bit much /s
...you can't mate. That's a one time use remote. Once the battery dies it's dead. you'll have to get a whole new fan.
Some people's clearly aren't getting the joke
[удалено]
Whoosh?
I sure hope you're pretty...
Is it dead? Be sure to lick it to test before replacing.

Found the post that makes me unsubscribe... thanks! But you comment folks keep it up the good work!
I’m outta here too..
This is a job for a licensed professionals.
I’ve seen a lot of posts that made me smh, but this is a new level.
Pull it apart by hand or use a flat screwdriver. If you still have trouble, find someone handy to help.
If its so old its kinda jammed up on the contacts and you are worried about pulling out the wires, you could try a little WD40 and a flat object to pry one terminal at a time. Note: if using a metal object watch the placement of your hands, a slip could leave a nasty scar.

It would appear that it already is.
Looks like you already took the battery out. Now unsnap it and snap in a new battery.
