NordicTrack Elliptical Battery Replacement

If you’re wondering how to change the batteries in older NordicTrack Elliptical trainers you have come to the right place.

NordicTrack are certainly one of the top brands in providing the best elliptical machines, but rather confusingly, some of their machines are mains powered through their power cord, whilst others are battery powered. 

The lack of uniform approach can make it difficult to know exactly how to change the batteries especially in older units. So in this article, I want to cover exactly how to change batteries in the NordicTrack models.

The great news is all of the batteries are located in the console so very easy to follow.

All battery compartments are located in the units console, however, if you are unsure how to change the batteries in your specific model, then you should refer to the manual that supports it.
