Another suggestion that would not involve repeating the battery removal process, would be to let the readers sit for 10 minutes with the old batteries removed before inserting new batteries. This is inconvenient when you're only doing one or two units, but if you have many units to service, you could set up a line of readers (say 5 or 10 at a time) and perform each step to all the readers, then the next step, etc. By the time you are re-installing the battery cover into each reader, which completes the power circuit, 10 minutes should have passed.
