To fix or replace a flat battery for the Elinchrom ELB 400:

1. Remove the fuse from the battery.
2. Identify and gouge out the material covering one specific screw (not all screws).
3. Unscrew the four screws and remove the battery cover.
4. Replace the old battery cells with new ones.

No soldering is needed for this process.
