Savi's Workshop Lightsaber Battery Replacement Tutorial (Star Wars Galaxy's Edge)

[@Dan-O]

You forgot to mention that the battery pack should be pushed in and twisted. Locked in place. This has been causing many people issues with their lightsabers because there is a spring that pushes back on the battery pack. Tightening the pommel helps, but locking the pack in place is best for it.

[@tylernorklun]

The Dan-O Channel I would like to thank you for this comment cause I was stuck ten minutes trying to pull it out until I read this comment thank you

[@HaiTharImDavid]

WOW this wouldve been nice to know in the video! I spent a good few mins yanking the shit out of this thing when all I had to do was twist and unlock it to pull it out. Smh. Big thanks to you my friend.

[@56strine]

@@HaiTharImDavid I was able to twist it to get it out. It was not as easy putting it back in. Even with lining up the red arrow with the other red arrow. I had to twist it a few times just to get it back in.

[@ryanpatrickjaneway]

And here I thought mine was stuck. I tried twisting it initially but it didnt turn. Probably because I pushed down too hard to turn it.

[@CarlosRamos009]

I just got mine and i made the mistake of removing the chassis because i thought that was how i could get the battery pack. Thanks to your comment, you spared me from buyer's remorse 😅

omg you’re a life saver, I was literally depressed when my saber turned off or instead of purple pink, I don’t know how to thank you, man, keep these up!

[@SaberSourcing]

Glad to hear you found the tutorial helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@kaceyd9487]

i had gone to Savi's Workshop in February and in late March I couldn't get my Lightsaber to work. I didn't realize it could be the batteries since we just got it. Upon realizing it was the batteries your video was a life saver so thank you. My heart skipped a beat when after replacing the batteries my Lightsaber lit up. Thank you for the video!!

[@garcia207]

Thanks for the video. My lightsaber was making noises even though it was in off mode. I guess the company that makes smoke detectors to go off in the middle of the night when the batteries are low are the same ones that make these lightsabers. My saber was making weird wailing sounds every so often.

[@arcytek]

Same thing

[@seancohen7966]

That would have messed with me so hard. Either Disney’s spying on me or the force is calling to me.

[@victorpavan8038]

maybe the battery is dying? bc i have the same problem do you now if i have to change the battery or is something else

[@garcia207]

@@victorpavan8038 I removed mine since I just have my lightsaber on display. Best to change the batteries if you plan on using it. Not sure what kinda of damage this $200.00 saber will get with corroded batteries.

see, him too! her video was not informative at all

[@Izziefae]

Yes!!!! Twist it!!! Thank you! We were just struggling with ours for 10 minutes trying to wiggle it straight out but then once we read this comment we tried twisting it and it immediately came out. Thank you!

[@interstelliam]

After 5 minutes, I saw this comment and gave it a twist. Popped right out. Thanks lol

[@emilybowman7614]

Thank you so much, that did the trick

[@user-jq5tw4tt6o]

Man thank you so much for making this comment 😂😂👍

[@clarkochikubo2631]

Got a Savi's Lightsaber in August 2021 at Disneyland... The pack is held in place by a couple of grooves with an L on the inside of the handle and small protrusions on the battery pack. To remove the battery pack you need to push the battery pack in gently and turn it counter-clockwise about 1/8 of a turn to unlock it from the L. It will then pop out partway, and you can slide it out the rest of the way.

[@mrassparagus7188]

Thank you!!!! This helped a lot, I was struggling to get it out!!

[@v10mclaren]

Bless you for this

[@lizzyraej]

This is what mine was like!

[@davegehrke1595]

I wish I could post the look of joy on my sons face when his lightsaber worked again! He’s 5 years old and the Savi’s experience was one of his favorite parts of Disney. He thought he broke his lightsaber because it stopped working. And after we watched this video and fixed it together he was so happy!

[@SaberSourcing]

So happy to hear that this video helped you fix the lightsaber. Your story made my day. Thanks for watching and tell your son that I say "hi", if you'd like. :)

[@SuperCabrito14]

Wholesome, memories that make a child's life

[@JoseSanchez-zo5tb]

No, he broke it

[@richardphillips1891]

Thanks for the quick tutorial. Also thanks Dan-O for the reminder to push in and twist the battery pack into place. May the Force be With You.

[@chunckz21]

Omg. Thank you! My lightsaber was making noise on its own. Scared the heck out of me! Friends were joking that it was calling to me. Haha. Turns out, the batteries were low! Love how they hide them really keeping with the fantasy. But seriously confusing when it's been over a year since you built it. Thanks again!

[@lauraosborne8297]

Thanks so much thought it was broken we've only had it for a month and it started making noise and lighting up w/out it being on. Replaced batteries and the rebellion is back in business

[@DawntheCrone77]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you. I thought my lightsaber was broken. Granted yours was the first I saw and followed but it was simple and concise... Oh. And thanks to Dan-O for that bit of info on tightening it back up. Love your videos also, Dan-O.

[@sonicguyver7445]

I had been thinking about this recently. But my worry had been about getting the batteries out so they don't leak over time. I had some bad experiences with Gameboys in that regard. So thank you for an easy to follow guide.

[@nitthegrit7544]

What Dan-O Channel said. Yes, you have to align the red arrow, then do a small left twist, and you'll hear/feel the battery pack lock into place. Originally I noticed 3 things with my saber that made me realize my batteries were running low: 1. The violet crystal I was using was flickering and switching between violet, red, and orange colors. 2. When I swung the saber straight up or straight down, the power would just shut off entirely. 3. I then opened the crystal chamber and saw that the crystal was flickering. Thanks for the vid! Was very helpful!

[@HaiTharImDavid]

The same thing happened with my purple saber too. I was freaking out and thought it was because I left it in the wrong position for too long xD

[@Bboyblake]

I was scared too. I always take my kyber crystal and Blade out of my saber when storing it. and then one day it started doing these things and I thought it was broken

[@HellooBoston]

Thanks to you and Dan (below). I had my saber conk out after a few months...probably not the batteries, but proper alignment with the power source. In any case, fresh batteries and "repack" and good to go!

[@decaldave1]

Thank you for this video. I confess I needed this video to change the batteries! Clear and helpful, thank you!

[@GHSTxLEADER]

Thank you for this video, I thought I had to go back to the workshop in order to get mine working again 😅 I’m glad you helped!

[@AbsolXGuardian]

Thank you so much! The instructions that come with the carrier skip the step of taking out the pack. I had begun to disect the top of my saber. All these extra screws may be a nice right to repair thing, but I'm not used to screws that a regular consumer isn't intended to use.

[@jessefresh24]

Thank you! My saber stopped working after 2 weeks and this fixed it!!

[@Pilot231]

glad to see that replacing the battery was a quick and easy fix. got mine replaced with fresh new AAA's and it works perfectly again. ^^

[@loonieblade2055]

Oh my god thank you for this! I was so sad when my lightsaber wouldn't turn on. I thought it was the crystal or something. So thank you again!!

[@erikkoster4370]

Thank you so much for this video! We couldn’t for the life of us figure out how to change the dang batteries. Thanks again!

[@ShawnJBurke]

Thanks from all of us trying to take a quick pic with our Lightsaber on May 4th. May the 4th be with you.

[@ryanschmid7940]

...the battery pack needs to be twisted counter clockwise like 1/4 turn and then slides out easily. Either they changed the design to make it a twist lock or you broke and/or ground off the little plastic keys that lock it into place.

[@adamsdavyagency247]

Thanks for this - couldn't find the batteries for the life of me! Appreciate it!

[@SaberSourcing]

Glad to hear you fixed the saber (and got promoted, too! :) ).

[@KimuMiyamoto]

Perfect, thanks! A gatherer suggested that I remove the battery/pack since it's technically always on, making the crystal flash

[@SlyRetribution]

Kaos Fletcher while true for a time, it eventually goes off after a short time (or at least mine does) because when I go to turn it on it won’t make sound, then I have to turn it back off and it makes the crystal being inserted sound, and then when I press it back on it either ignites ( if the blade is in) or makes the mis-spark noise (if no blade)

[@justamaroonball3778]

lol I was confused why my lightsaber kept turning off immediately after I turned it on and then it kept making the Krystal insert sound

[@lego0788]

Your voice is so calming

[@justrichard2491]

FYI - Because I live in Orlando, I went to Galaxy's Edge and asked them how to do this AND, how we can "turn off" the light saber so it won't drain the batteries just sitting in it's case. They showed me exactly what you did, but the newer light saber battery packs are a bit different. It appears that they no longer encase the pack with the plastic sleeve that requires you to use a screwdriver to change the batteries. I guess enough people had difficulty finding the batteries that they modified it. Unfortunately they did not have a good answer for saving the batteries. They said: "you should just remove the battery when you're putting it into storage." That's not a very good answer and will likely lead to the battery getting separated from the kit and lost. I'm going to experiment and see if I can create some sort of thin, removable barrier to break the circuit.

[@ryanmedina5090]

I built my lightsaber in August 2021 and they still have the same screwed down battery pack. I drained the batteries in a little over a month

[@jacksonbt2003]

“Why won’t it fit?” As I say this putting it in the ignition side. *Check which side you’re putting it in before inserting with force..*

[@DarthVader-gh6xv]

I did that and i was so pissed because it wasnt working and I thought “wait a damn minute”

[@levifout60882]

I just changed the dead batteries from mine. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@Zaran666]

you can combine the parts of other set of Savi's Workshop lightsabers

[@SaberSourcing]

Correct. I heard that combining parts from different themes can make the hilt look a bit strange, but I have only seen 1 set of the parts personally.

Got my 1st savi saber on Feb. 2. I was told that leaving the battery and crystal together will drain the battery faster. On 2:46, I noticed that you reassembled the battery while the crystal is still in the chassis. Is it okay to just detach the battery pack while the crystal is in there? (Worry about frying the system) I have been disassembling this thing and the parts just keep getting loose and it's really a hassle :(

[@DoomShroomer]

Thanks for the upload!

[@SaberSourcing]

You bet!

[@unknownscientist1530]

It's a bit unfortunate that the experience doesn't do an amazing job explaining maintenance and all that sort of stuff. Don't get me wrong the experience is AMAZING but they clearly didn't explain the product all too well, things like how to detach the blade, where the batteries are, how to swap crystals, all that sorta stuff. Even a dumb instruction pamphlet would have been helpful, luckily videos like these help educate buyers like us.

[@kikiusuda7761]

Agreed, I just broke my saber completely by unscrewing the bottom section and snapped the wires. On my part I shouldn’t have explored the saber looking for the batteries but perhaps the design couldve been more obvious

[@michaelping5835]

Hey when I’m fighting with my custom build lightsaber, sometimes the light from the blade will go out or turn into a different color (I got green and sometimes it changes to yellow when I’m fighting, or white). Should I be worried?

No, that’s normal. It’s suppose to simulate when lightsabers clash in movies

Is anyone else having issues getting their battery pack back in? Mine slides in until the little knobs on the side hit it and then it stops. Also, there’s no arrow on the inside of my saber.

[@chelseaoocandy]

I'm not sure if it's because of where I live (Hawaii) but I cannot leave batteries in electronics for long periods of time or they start to "leak" Is there even such a thing as a high quality battery that won't ruin my lightsaber? It will be really annoying taking out batteries every time I'm not using it.

[@SaberSourcing]

Unfortunately it might just be your best shot to take out the batteries, even if that's annoying. Here's an article about saber battery maintenance: sabersourcing.com/2020/04/05/lightsaber-battery-maintenance-tips-what-you-should-know/

[@rsjames5590]

1:01 is NOT correct. Push and twist counter-clockwise to release the battery compartment, do NOT wiggle or yank on it. The speaker cover will pop off and you will take the speaker with it, severing the wire leads. I had to re-solder the wires and take the casing off to realize there is a spring-loaded catch. I wish I would have read the comments before adding hours to my battery replacement.
