I read the instructions as given here to replace a battery, but there is no such place as a small tray to slide out.

Sorry, can't help you. Only can say, these are really user unfriendly items. I'm unhappy with mine, too.

The newer versions of this timer have an internal rechargeable battery that can't be replaced but they never updated the user sheet. If you are having problems with the timer resetting by itself, failure to turn off, failure for the screen to show a time, or similar, you need to return the timer. Out of six of these I have bought only two have worked at all - don't buy this timer. Load doesn't matter since even a single strand LED light string still won't work.

The newer versions of the timer do not have a battery tray that slides out. The battery is built into the unit and charges when you plug the unit in. You have to keep the unit plugged in for some time, say an hour, for the battery to charge. They probably changed the design to reduce the cost to make the product. The purpose of the battery is only to maintain the correct time and program for a short period of time, like a power outage. Please keep in mind that you may have a malfunctioning unit, because as I stated in my review, the newer model timers are junk. I threw mine away over safety concerns. One had parts rattling inside, the other acted weird. I didn't want a fire. The newer versions of the timer do not have a battery tray that slides out.

Having disposed of the paper work that accompanied the Stanley timers I purchased from Amazon I cannot be sure they are Stanley's 38425 Timermax model. Having said that , they are Stanley Timers but one cannot replace the battery nor does one need to. They have a rechargeable battery built in and one must plug them in and charge them for one hour prior to using them.

I purchased a replacement battery and they have changed the battery posts - so it is not easy. I had to solder the new battery in place.The new battery has slip on posts and the old one was attached with a small screw and nut. Bah Humbug....

use a tiny screw driver to unscrew the screw. It's oddly shaped with a wider bottom, so once loosened, you have to pop it out (I pryed it out with the same tiny screw driver. Then puse a larger screwdriver to twist the backing. (place the larger screwdriver or a penny in the little notch on the backing and twist until the tiny tab is visible). The pop the backing off with your tiny screwdriver. Once I replaced my battery, I put the backing back on and twisted so the tab help it in; I did NOT replace the screws because they were a superfluous pain in the rear.

The battery compartment slides out from the side of the BLACK box. Look close, you'll see a tiny raised 'handle'; it slides out like a drawer.

you have to remove two screws, take it apart, then have access to the battery!

If you mean that you want to remove the rear cover I doubt that could be done without breaking the remote. The battery is accessible by pushing the small tab on the side of the tray towards the tray and sliding the tray out. Look at the diagram on the back cover of the remote. Hope this helps.

Unscrew the end cap and pull. An attached battery tray slides out with the cap. It has placements slots to receive the type of battery you want to use.

Yes, I took it apart and found a new battery online. The tricky part was getting the rubber bumpers off so I could get all the screws out. BTW, the B&D people told me it couldn't be done.

I was stumped too at first. The battery cover is under the handle. Just lift it a bit and you'll see the edges of the battery cover. I remember it sliding off, although it's been a while.

The plastic unit slides off to expose the door for the battery. There is one screw that needs to be removed

There are 2 battery compartments on the underside of Pete. they both have a tab, AND a small screw to secure them.. you will need a very small phillips screw driver to get the screw out. Hope this is helpful.

They should slide off the old batteries and then slide on to the new batteries. It is a tight fit , so you might have to wiggle it back and forth a tad to help it come off.

There is a sliding cover to the 2 battery compartments. I don't have mine in front of me, but you should be able to figure out which way to slide it open.

The back piece slides off to replace batteries. Use your dumbs and push downward.

If you look at the battery cover on the back, you will see a small tab. With your fingernail or something like a popsicle stick catch the slightly pointed end and push it to to battery cover, closing the 1/8" gap, When it touches the battery cover, lift it. You are correct, it's not the easiest one to open.

Very difficult to open the case. If you get it open you can probable find a battery that will fit.

Looking at it as it is pictured (yellow button on the right) there is a small black tab sticking out from the bottom side of the read out. Push that tab up through the readout, the large slider should push out the topside. Pull it all the way out. Put the battery in + side down. Then put it back together. I hope this helps.
