    Wii U Console Battery Removal

    Step-by-step instructions for removing the battery from a Wii U console.

    For information on disposing of the battery, contact your local solid waste authority.

    Notes:

    • The Wii U console uses a single button cell battery.
    • To avoid damage to the screw or threads, use a screwdriver that is appropriate for the screw (crosshead style, size #00).

    Removing the battery

    1. Make sure that the disc LED is not on.
      • If the disc LED is illuminated, press the EJECT Button on the front of the console to eject the Wii U disc.
    2. Turn the power off and unplug the Wii U AC Adapter from the wall socket.
    3. Turn the console over and remove the battery cover.
      • The battery cover is designed so the screw can be loosened, but not fully removed.
