Hello, dear VisiHow viewers! When your guitar with active pick-ups stops sounding brightly or loudly, it does not produce any sound at all, or several years ass, you have to replace its battery. A battery is a 9-volt bar-shaped unit that is placed inside the guitar and is connected with pick-ups. [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas225_724828.jpg|center]]


=== Steps ===
# First of all, find out whether your pick-ups are active if you do not know the brand and their  specifications. Let us take a guitar with passive pick-ups first. Take out the jack if it is plugged in. [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas27_305423.jpg|center]]
# To locate the battery slot, turn the guitar over and check the body for any covers. There is one in the middle. [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas44_598857.jpg|center]]
# Remove the cover by using a screwdriver. [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas50_970122.jpg|center]]
# As we can see, this guitar has nothing but springs inside. [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas87_377353.jpg|center]]
# The pick-ups are all passive. Let us put the cover back. [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas99_209703.jpg|center]]
# Let us try another guitar. It is already turned over. [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas106_491149.jpg|center]]
# There is only one cover that we are going to remove, again, with a screwdriver. [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas116_457399.jpg|center]]
# Take out the jack if it has been in the guitar. [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas148_44838.jpg|center]]
# The cover fits the slot tightly, so we need something to push it out. Metallic objects will scratch the finish, so I prefer hard paper or plastic. I shall use the edge of a guitar string set package to remove the cover. [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas181_125971.jpg|center]]
# To the right you can see something in a shape of, presumably, a battery. To take it out, grab the foam firmly and pull it up, minding the wires coming out of it (do not pull them too hard). [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas198_419405.jpg|center]]
# Unroll the object. That is a battery. We need to replace it now. [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas212_072117.jpg|center]]
# Pull it out of the connector. Apply slight force to do that, but hold the connector, not the wires when you do that. [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas217_273832.jpg|center]]
# Unpack a new battery. Connect it by pushing the bigger connector input against the smaller battery output. Now, push the other input into the output. [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas235_913969.jpg|center]]Note: the battery must have been packed when stored.
# Test whether the connection is solid. [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas238_314805.jpg|center]]
# Wrap the foam around the battery. [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas264_862601.jpg|center]]
# Put it back and cover the whole opening by using a screwdriver and screws. [[Image:replace_a_nine_volt_battery_in_an_electric_guitar.mp4-canvas273_964408.jpg|center]]That is it! The battery is replaced! Thank you for watching VisiHow!
