Introduction
This guide shows you how to replace the battery of your Sharp EL-510RN calculator. Calculators are an essential tool for many students, and this guide shows you how to replace the battery with a few inexpensive tools that are easily obtainable. For this fix, there are no special requirements; all that is necessary is a clean workspace free of anything that causes electrostatic discharge.
This repair is needed because while a calculator is a cheap everyday tool, eventually the battery will die.
