Hi!

I just bought a 8x4 9V battery box from Lego_bonkers on bricklink.
It is first time I use such one, but I see that the switch is hard to use, I
have to press hard to get it down, an it is the same to get it up, I have to
press really hard and in the right angle.
Is this normal?

Yes, it is. The switch mechanism works by pressing the button down and
slightly forward, in order to lock it in "on" position. To disconnect, you
have to press the button slightly backwards, and then the spring should lift
the button alone.

Actually, you don't have to push the button when turning it off, I have some
spine-taught method of dragging the button backwards with my nail.

And my experience is that you don't have to push hard on the button to lock it
into place either. Perhaps we have different definitions of "hard" or perhaps
you can teach a better way? Dunno.

Best regards,
