This worked for the V7 Animal model just fine. Very easy and clear, thank you!

Thank you. These instructions just helped me to replace the worn out battery on our V8 Animal in 5 minutes! Now it's humming along again with 3 blue bars. Great! (Note: I was concerned I might strip the screw head but I just pressed harder while turning and the screwdriver did not slip. Then I saw that the replacement battery came with four new replacement screws. So, it's all good.)

I have a stripped screw that won't extract. I have already drilled the hole ho so now no screwdriver will work. Any suggestions?
