Thank you so much! I’ve had my feeder 8 years, battery wouldn’t charge anymore. So much cheaper than a new feeder. Great instructional video!

Love this feeder, the squirrels full on assaulted it when I first hung it and there are gnaw marks of frustration around the top of the feeder. Now they don't even look at it. I bought this replacement battery to rotate out with another one so I don't have any downtime.

Pretty good idea that the batteries and motor are in one unit that is replaced because brushed motors and batteries wear out.

I found that to fully tighten the nut I had to turn the power switch on and compress the hub while tightening the nut to get a good grip. Otherwise, the axle would spin but the perch would not. *Be careful with this step.

I just received the feeder. When I inserted the power stick into the feeder and turned clockwise, there was no "click". I hung it anyways. Later, after finding the power stick on the ground, I tried it again - no click. Suggestions?

I bought a new power stick, not switch. The switch is the on-off black one on the Flipper itself.

Other than the echo, which makes it hard to hear what he's saying, this is a good resource. I just acquired a new Powerstick from [a big vendor], and someone, either at Droll Yankees or [big vendor] plastered a big label over three sides of the box, including the instructions from step 3 through step 5. The label can't be peeled off without leaving shreds of paper stuck to the box. Not too good. 😐

Does anyone know where I can buy a new bumper switch for my yankee flipper? The company is of no help, they won't sell me the part. If I would have lied and told them it was newer they would replace it for free. Some customer service! The part is a common part to wear out since it is specifically noted in the instruction manual. They said look for it on the internet! Well good luck with that.

I just got this feeder this week, the perch came off and was on the ground. I put it back on the feeder, but no click. Does something have to be adjusted? Not that strong of a swing when I charged it up. I know it's a nice battery so i followed the instruction and gave it a 14 hour charge. I think i am going to have issues with the battery. Furthermore is it a good idea to take the perch and power stick appart every second year to clean it up?

The power stick had ran out of power after a few days. The squirrel had chewed the metal of the feeder where the seed is dispensed. I will try and charge it up again.

Hi Jenna! The battery is for the motor in the feeder that twists the perch. The perch will spin when a squirrels weight is applied to get the squirrels to leave the birds to feed. The birds are too light to activate the perch so they are not bothered by the spinning at all. I hope that helps! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to reach out to our customer service department at 1-800-352-9164 or by email at consumerservices@classicbrands.net. Happy birding!

When I tried to take the nut off the bottom of my feeder to access my power stick, the whole thing snapped off in my wrench socket! For something that was designed to stay outside, I wouldn't expect it to be ruined by rust, I'd expect better quality nuts & bolts for a feeder that cost over $200!! I'm highly disappointed. Now, my feeder is ruined. Completely unusable.

Both this video and the written instructions that come with the new power stick are inadequate. The video doesn't even deal with replacing the "elastomer switch bumper"; there are three ways to put it on, only one of which works. The "switch" isn't really a switch, it's just a plastic part on one side of the replacement battery. It looks very similar to the other side of the replacement battery. If Droll Yankees is going to call it a "switch", they need to label it as such. Better yet, assemble these correctly at the factory so the "elastomer switch bumper" doesn't come off in the first place. My first Yankee Flipper worked well for over 10 years. I'm very disappointed at the increase in cost and decrease in quality.
