How on earth do you remove the battery from the QB2 remote? There is a small retaining clip where the arrow is and pulling that back let’s the battery pop up a little but the parts indicated by A and B hold it in place when trying to slide it out. I don’t want to force it in case I break it. Surely there must be an easy way to do this but I can’t see it!
You just lift the edge that has popped up a bit more and you will be able to slide the battery away from A and B and then lift it out. You put in the new one in the reverse way. It’s easier to do than to explain!
You did well to get the cover off!
Others have said how to get it out, a small micro flat screwdriver may prove easier than scissors. Make sure you fit a decent cr2032 battery, I’ve found Panasonic good for other applications.

Small flat screwdriver did the trick but it was still more force needed than I was comfortable with 
Thanks all
How on earth did you remove that cover?

First time I did it I used a credit card along the top edge of the cover to loosen it off. After it came off the first time it has been easy to get off just sliding it down. Between getting the cover off and removing the battery it really is a poor design.

It seems perfectly fine to me. Sometimes it seems that people just like moaning.
It is poor design. But likely cheap design.

Not at all, even your own solution was to wedge scissors in it to get the battery out. If you need to wedge a battery out with an external tool it is a poor design in my book.

Is part of the design not specifically to comply with safety regulations on limiting the chances of inadvertent removal by small children…?
There often does seem to be an over-supply of moaning on the forum, but I think your complaint is pretty reasonable.
Mind you our QB1 didn’t have a remote and we never missed it and I’d completely forgotten we got one with the QB2. Must find it some time and press a few buttons.

My muso2’s “ remote” stayed in the box. I did try to open the battery door for curiosity once. Hence my original comment. I don’t think it is unreasonable to call out poor design when we are spending significant and often discretionary money.

Not moaning IMO, just seems a bit “pants” as you’d say in the UK!
