    How do you remove the plastic bit on the handle to get to those screws?

    I figured it out. Used a knife to pry it off. Knife is easiest, screwdriver wasn't narrow enough

Where can I get a replacement battery?

Anyone? Good place to order a replacement?

“Remove the battery” sounds pretty simple, but my pivot vac seems to be “hard-connected” to the battery terminal, and I haven’t a clue where to go from here (though the trash heap—and recycling center—are strong candidates). Mine is an older model (2012) and perhaps that explains why these otherwise excellent instructions lead me to a dead-end.

Agree. I dissembled down to this last photo, but the battery won’t budge.

the gray handle on one side pops open if you pry at it and there are screws underneath.

Thanks, do appreciate the instructions, much better step by step, but why did they made it so difficult.

Yes, it’s too difficult. Wondering if it’s worth replacing the battery.

Would be happy if they let us trade for a newer model.
