.
The battery for the SE (Special Edition is slightly longer and rated at 2.4 V (nominal) and has part number "7AAAHR2A"
Installation Step by Step Instructions:
To install the batteries, remove the Zip Zap's car body.
0) Recommended (but optional - you will have an unobstructed view of the clips)
Remove the rear paired tires by pushing down & remove the motor with a small flat screwdriver.
1) Using a small flat screwdriver (about the size used for eyeglass repair)
Insert it vertically so that it's between the black body plastic and the clear plastic of the PCB cover.
Carefully bend outward the BLACK chassis plastic tabs so the clear plastic cover's tabs holding the PCB can be moved up pass the black clips. (Black tab clips closest to the rear wheels)
(NOTE: bend the black plastic because it is more flexable than the clear plastic - if you break the clear plastic tabs, just hot glue or 5 minute epoxy or tape the PCB clear cover back in place)
2a) Now that the clear plastic tabs have been moved past the black plastic , you can PIVOT the PCB up to get at the old battery.
2b) If it makes it easier you can slide the antenna wire (red for 49mhz, yellow for 27Mhz) past the plastic slot to make the printed circuit board easier to move out of the way
3) Now that you have access to the battery you can remove the old battery with ideally non conductive plastic tweezers.
Be careful not to nick or break the very thin enamel wires for the steering. Make sure you note which end (with the RED wire) has the +ve ridge when you remove it. If you are using metal tweezers make sure you do NOT touch the circuit board with the tweezers.
IMPORTANT
4a) If you notice a white/green oxide build up on the flat steel spring contacts (either +ve and/or -ve flat springs). You can use EMERY BOARDS to remove the oxide.
4b) On the same flat steel springs use a SOFT ERASER to clean any oxide that might not be visable to the naked eye.
4c) If you have it use 91-99% ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL to clean the same contacts.
5a) To increase the pressure on the battery contacts, bend the flat springs. The easiest way I have found to do this is to insert a small screwdriver between the flat spring and the chassis at the mid point and use a 2nd screwdriver and at the top of the spring push it towards the chassis.
5b) If done properly the flat spring should almost have a "U" or "V" shape.
6a) If you have some use DIELECTRIC (PROTECTIVE) GREASE on the battery and the flat springs, to retard oxidation.
6b) Insert the new replacement battery - BUT remember that the side of the battery with the RIDGE is positive and goes to the side of the flat spring with the RED wire connected. The negative side of the battery goes to the flat spring with the BLACK wire.
7a/b) If this is a new car kit or one that has not been used for some time you may also need to use EMERY BOARDS and/or eraser on the contacts where the controller charges the car chassis.
NOTE: This listing is for the battery ONLY, if you require the :
EMERY BOARDS
SOFT ERASER
ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL SWAB
PROTECTIVE (DIELECTRIC) GREASE
