This unit is extremely similar to mines so try this. On the overhead unit where the light is, there should be a wire hanging down on one side of the unit. On the opposite side, where the white plastic is that holds the light, push in the two buttons on either side of the white plastic casing; once that is opened there will be a panel with 1 screw on it next to the light bulb (it will probably have a caution warning on it). Unscrew that and open it; you should now have access to the battery to remove it and replace it. My unit needed a 12 volt battery.

I hope this helps!!!
