Works great with them. I've gotten between 12 and 13 hr. runtime and they
aren't even broken in yet!

You don't have to unscrew anything. Use a small screwdriver or similar item
and push outward at the notch, just far enough for the top edge of the
battery cover to clear the body. Then slide the cover straight up. There
should be an illustration in your manual indicating the location of the
"battery cover holes" (notches).
