How to Replace the Battery of a Piranha GSX

Paintball guns use power from batteries to operate. A Piranha GSX has a rechargeable battery installed in the handgrip. If you want to use a normal nine volt battery or replace the rechargeable battery in the paintball gun, then you must remove the right-hand side grip panel. You should turn off the marker switch on the left hand side of the gun when you remove the panel.
