    • On the back of the controller, there will be five 7.2mm Phillips screws securing the body of the controller. (The five screws are circled in black.)

    • Push the rear cover slightly toward the top edge of the controller to clear the front edge of the #2 triggers.

    • Carefully pull the battery connector away from the socket that is attached to the motherboard. ( Battery connector is circled in black.)

    • It may be safer to use a tool like tweezers or pliers to pull the battery connector out of the socket.

    • Now you can dispose of the old battery safely. For example taking old used batteries to a household hazardous waste facility.
