The battery cover is the silver-colored "hump" on the right side of the scanner. Just slide it to the right, and it'll unhook from the scanner, giving you access to the battery compartment.
You have to push it really hard in my opinion. That's why I also had trouble with it. I did not want to break it; it's fragile.You have to push it really hard in my opinion. That's why I also had trouble with it. I did not want to break it; it's fragile.
Ok. here is more helpful advice. There are eight posts on the inner side of the battery cover that are gripping too hard. Pushing on the compartment won't help. Get tweezers and insert in the tiny gap between the silver scan button and the battery cover. Slight gentle twist will nudge the cover the 1/8 in it needs to move. Then use nail clippers to remove two of the middle posts to lighten the grip for next time.Ok. here is more helpful advice.

Have the Wand In front of you with the words Vupoint facing you. Place your left thumb on the word scan and push down gently and slide the top towards the right. then pick up the end of the wand as you slide it where it says MAGIC WAND! as simple as that

I'm with ladyfitz. It's taking way too much pressure to try and slide the battery cover off. I'm hearing the plastic case creak.
