After struggling trying to get a battery into a sound hole mount by neck block is there an easier method. I am new to aucostics and have not had to change strings yet so know little about bridge pins. As I am likely to have to change a battery before I change strings I assume simply loosening the strings and pushing the bass E to D strings out of the way will not actually damage the bridge or pins. I assume the bridge and pins are designed to take a pulling force the usual way but what about when strings are pushed out of the way by the sound hole. Told you it was a stupid question
Alternatively is it easier to simply pop the bridge pins out. Again I have not done that before etc
I have my tin hat on so let me have it

If you will be gigging regularly, the strings and the PP3 will want changing more frequently. Just coordinate both tasks into one pitstop.
Agree with the other poster that your battery should outlast your strings, make sure you’re unplugging it when not in use etc.
By the way changing strings is pretty straightforward, and rewarding as it will sound nicer with fresh strings on. There are approx 1869338 tutorial videos on YouTube on how to do it
It's not a stupid question, by the way - you just don't need to over-think the answer .
