How to change the battery in Honeywell Thermostat

If the thermostat is not working properly or indicates a low battery, then it’s time for a battery change. The following steps are helpful to change the battery in Honeywell thermostats.

Non-sliding Wall Thermostats

Step 1: The battery housing is not labeled but it is easy to locate it. Removing the thermostat from the wall is not required. Pushing down the tab on the top opens the battery compartment.
Step 2: Slide the battery compartment sideways to fully take out the battery casing. Take out the dead, old batteries. Have some spare batteries of both AA as well as AAA batteries as some thermostats use either of the two.
Step 3: Insert the correct battery with the right positions.
Step 4: Sliding the battery housing back into the thermostat and push it until it snaps into its place.

Sliding Wall Thermostats:

Some thermostats need to be taken down from the wall in order to replace the battery. Just slide the thermostat from the wall plate and turn it over. At the back of the thermostat is the battery housing where the changing of the battery can be done.
Whether the battery compartment is on the side or at the back, it depends on the model and manufacturing company. So, it is highly suggested that any person should first read the manual of any thermostat for the replacement of batteries. In some thermostats, the changing of the battery is different so a thorough search should be done on the thermostat.
