Changing strings on my new to me F512 and figured I should put new batteries in the pick up. How do I get access? Pics soon!

To keep that from happening, use Li ion AA batteries like these:Sometimes the batteries have leaked or swelled in the sleeve and then you have to pull the batteries out, which might require some extreme methods.
Better yet, don't keep the batteries in there at all unless you're planning on plugging in. Mine got stuck in there after swelling and leaking, and my luthier had a very hard time getting them out. I was lucky the whole pickup wasn't ruined. I learned my lesson with pickups that use AA batteries, which tend to rupture a lot more than 9Vs.To keep that from happening, use Li ion AA batteries like these:

Yes, this! It's really the only way to ensure against degrading batteries. None of my acousti-lectric guitars have batteries installed.Better yet, don't keep the batteries in there at all unless you're planning on plugging in.
Hi Walrus,But on my DTAR for my '11 F-30RCE, it was a 9 volt battery in a "bag" by the neck block. Is this a different "version" of DTAR?
BTW, I have since removed it, this is just a question out of curiousity.
