Introduction

This guide shows you how to replace the LR44 battery in your Casio fx-300ES Plus 2nd edition calculator (model # FX-300ESPLS2).

The battery is what powers your calculator and is subject to drain over time. If you notice your display is too dim, and adjusting contrast does not appear to fix this, or figures do not appear immediately after your calculator turns on, the battery requires replacing.

Before you begin the repair, make sure your calculator is powered off.
