Many users who own a YOSE POWER battery with a base face the same challenge: the base is tightly attached to the battery body, and they’re unsure how to separate them safely—afraid of breaking the clips, scratching the contacts, or even damaging the battery itself. In fact, the base removal design of this battery is extremely user-friendly. Just follow these steps, and you can do it with your bare hands, no tools required at all!
This tutorial breaks down every step with real-life photos, so you can master it right after reading and never worry about removing the base again👇
🔒 Step 1: Locate the Lock and Unlock First
Before starting disassembly, you need to find the core lock of the battery base:
- Look at the connection between the battery and the base: there’s a round metal button at the top (this is the limit point of the lock), indicating the base is in a locked state and cannot be removed directly.
- Find the keyhole on the side of the battery and insert the matching key—this is the key to unlocking the base. Without unlocking with the key, forced pulling will only damage the clip structure.
⚠️ Important Reminder: Be sure to turn off the battery’s power switch before operating to avoid the risk of short circuits!
🗝️ Step 2: Turn the Key to Release the Lock
Once you have the key, follow these steps to unlock:
- Insert the key fully into the keyhole on the side of the battery.
- Turn the key in the indicated direction (usually counterclockwise). You’ll feel the lock cylinder pop open, and the round metal button will sink in, meaning the base lock is fully released.
- After unlocking, gently shake the battery body—you’ll notice the originally tight connection has become loose, which means you can move on to the next step of removal.
📤 Step 3: Slide Down and Remove the Base Smoothly
After successful unlocking, the removal becomes very simple:
- Hold the battery body firmly with one hand, and support the edge of the base with the other.
- Slide the base slowly downward along the slot direction (do not pull it straight up!). You’ll feel the resistance gradually disappear.
- Once the base slides completely out of the slot, you can easily separate it from the battery body. The whole process is gentle and smooth, without damaging any components.
After separation, remember to check the metal contacts at the bottom of the battery and the contact springs on the base to ensure they are not bent or dirty. Wipe them gently with a dry soft cloth to prepare for subsequent installation or storage.
❓ FAQ
Q1: The key won’t turn and the lock won’t open. What should I do?
A: Check if the key is fully inserted or if there’s foreign matter stuck in the keyhole. You can gently shake the key and try turning it again. Do not use excessive force to avoid breaking the key.
Q2: The base gets stuck when sliding and can’t be removed?
A: Confirm that the lock is fully opened, readjust the sliding angle, and gently shake along the slot direction. Do not pull forcibly to prevent the clip from deforming.
Q3: How to reinstall it after separation?
A: Align the base with the battery slot and slide it upward until you hear a "click" sound, which means the lock has automatically reset. Then confirm the lock is engaged with the key.
💡 Maintenance Tips
- After separation, store the battery and base in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from water, direct sunlight, or heavy pressure.
- For long-term storage, keep the battery charge at 50%-60%, store the base and battery separately, and check the condition of the clips and contacts regularly.
- When installing, be sure to align the slot correctly and ensure the lock is fully engaged to prevent loosening and falling off during riding.
✨ Final Thoughts
The YOSE POWER battery with a base is designed to balance stability and ease of use. Just remember the core logic of "Unlock First → Slide Down → Remove Gently", and you can complete the removal easily. A little more care in daily operations will not only protect the battery components but also extend the battery life and performance significantly~

The lock doesn’t seem to work on a Yose Power ebike battery. I can’t separate the base from the battery despite unlocking. It doesn’t seem like the lock is unlocking, as there is no loosening the battery with it unlocked.
