How do replace the battery in Lifecycle C9i exercise
The web site above states the following:
The 9 volt battery for the display on the bars of the bicycle goes in underneath the display (on the bottom of it).You can also see the 7th page (pages are not numbered, simply scroll to the 2nd to last page) of the manual at the link below to see where the battery installs:
https://www.lifefitness.es/static-assets/document/manuals/C9iAssemblyInstructions_12-07-05.pdf
Testimonial: "Thanks for the input, however that battery location is for the C7i not the C9i. Step 9, which covers the battery installation specifically says C7i Only. As well as the fact that in that compartment for the C9i there is currently no battery or 9-volt connector. Cheers."
Sorry to give misinformation.
When I checked the LifeFitness website, a popup advisor switched me to a fee-based answering service that was $5 just to get started, then $20 to complete the answer. Ridiculous!
Picture at Life Fitness web site must be in error:

Battery
0017-00003-0757
Same Battery number and picture shown for C7i, so indeed someone put wrong picture for C9i on their web site using C7i picture.
Yeah, no battery up there, just a circuit board and connectors. I found it though by disassembling the "shroud." The battery is at the front of the base of the bike, and the replacement battery really looks like this:https://www.sportsmith.net/itemform.aspx... Thanks for the input and the encouragement, it got me going to dig into the beast!
Great! Thanks for the updates as your information is invaluable for anyone looking for the same model!

Mine went dead last Spring. I ordered a replacement part from Fitness Quest. I think the link is above. Actually, while I was waiting for the part, I reconnected all the wires on the whole bike and the panel worked. So I actually have an extra new working panel if Fitness Quest doesn't have the part for some reason and u want mine. Double check ALL the connections of the wires first. They come loose easily.

Take a look at the battery compartment under the panel (left looking up). I had a similar problem and had just fixed it. Hopefully you can get the same results.
If the strip of metal with the spring is corroded, take the batteries out, and carefully remove the metal strip. I used metal duct tape and wrapped the piece of metal with the tape. Carefully put a slight bend in the middle of the strip and reinsert the strip. If the batteries do not connect up, bend the piece a bit more or add more of the metal duct tape. After doing this, the panel came back to life. If this is not your problem, then my apologies. If it is, then good luck.

This unit takes a special 6 volt battery. The battery is in one of two places. First place to look is under the unit. If you lay the bike over on its side there is an opening in the covers. If the battery is not there then you will need to take one of the side covers off. When you get the side off you cannot miss it. The battery is black with three cylinders. You can get the battery from sportsmith.net.
SOURCE: Trying to replace the battery
Tilt the bike on its side, remove mounting screws securing the battery to the bracket. Remove the battery just enough to access and disconnect the black (neg) wire from the (-) terminal and the red (pos) wire form the (+) terminal. Replace battery and reverse procedure when installing battery hope this helps you and please vote for me

The Life Fitness 9500HR Eliptical had the battery in the base:
How do you access the battery for replacement? I cannot find a repair manual online for the 9500HR elliptical.
Answer:
On the front/bottom, you pop open the plastic casing around the pipe. (I just used a large screwdriver)
You then just unplug the old battery, plug in the new, tuck the wires back in and pop the plastic casing back on.
Again it's the plastic casing below the main "pipe frame", and above the stabilizing cross pipes.

You will need a long screwdriver to remove screws in the front that hold the batter compartment closed. There is a youtube video that shows you how to replace the battery athttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xli32lMi... It is not hard to do.

The bottom front of elliptical machine unscrews on both sides- need Allen wrench and Philips I believe. It was really tough to remove and very akward position. You- tube it. Changed my battery and unit works great.

You have to flip the elliptical on the side and the battery is under. The battery is held by 2 screws and the cable that connect it to the machine's board. Good luck.
