Push front face forward to disengage plastic clips at the top of the remote.
If holding the remote “normally” (top away from you), I would recommend you write slide front face downward/towards lightning port. I see your picture you are viewing the remote upside down, but this did actually confuse me.

Hi there, where can you buy the actual battery replacement?… any links?
I second this. It would be great if someone could link us on where to buy the battery/charger replacement.

You won’t be able to source the original battery as it is spot welded to the lightning port cable and mobo cable, and is one unit. However if you can solder I have successfully replaced two remote batteries for about $6-$8 a battery.
I’ve searched high and low for this battery as mine will not maintain a charge for more than a few hours. I found this one for a Huawei watch: https://www.batteryclub.org/Goods/ECN106... that appears to be the correct specs, but I’m not sure it can be connected.
That noted, a new remote is only $52 and this battery is $39.50 plus shipping! So for my money a new remote is a better option since we know it will work, and it’s just $12 or so more! Nuts!
Worked great for me, I opened it and cleaned the oxidized metal off the connections for the battery and inside the charge port.
The remote was inconsistently charging and losing it’s power quickly. After tearing it down and cleaning the connectors and inside the lightning port all is well.
It’s worth noting I have 2 young kids and the inside of the remote had shiny spots where evidently a liquid had ingressed, so just cleaning worked for me but may not for you.

We are Apple hardware zealots but are put off by experiences like this. Apple could have sold this remote designed for an easier and less expensive battery replacement. We are put off by the changes to chargers and charging cords. As I understand the Europeans forced the issue stopping Apple from continuing with their practice of making hardware that became obsolete with the purchase of a new phone or other Apple devices. Add the fact phones no longer come with a charger adds insult to injury. Shame on Apple.
