I order this, but they sent the black one with a meter and 4 different size slots that you put in a battery for testing. It also stored 6 spare batteries.

The drawer only holds two spare batteries. The tester is the gold plate where you put the plus side down on to test old battery.

Yes, you open it up and put a new battery. I usually start at one end. The back comes off.

On the under side of the scale there should be a slot. You can use a quarter to insert in the slot and rotate it to expose the battery. I just use my nail (which is very short) to pull the battery out. If the nail doesn't work a butter knife should do the trick.

In the drawer, but be careful it can slide out the back. Not sure it's use though!

Should be common sense..close them first. I purposely do that, the top is always closed on mine, but I opened it, pulled the drawers out, closed the top, the pushed the drawers closed, thus I can access the drawers without having to open the top first.

The part that is attached to the drawer has a slight uphill slope at the end that is closest to the face of the drawer. After the drawer is manually pushed to the last 1 and one half inch of travel gravity takes over and it closes without being pushed farther. This feature is most valuable in keeping the drawer closed.

The simplest thing you ever did. Just take the back off and flip the battery out from the top.

Take battery door off, there is a small knob in there. Use a small screwdriver. The seconds are not marked off. Just have to estimate.

Is there a drawer if so remove the drawer and If it is like mine you can turn the locking part off by pushing the red button. There may be dust in the mechanism because of the age of it.

On my Dell XPS there is a switch/button that pops the battery out for you. Just make sure your computer is off so and that you've saved whatever you were working on!

Another option is a normally closed micro-switch with a lever or hinge roller on it. mounted so the lever is moved by the side/top of the drawer. When the switched is used this way it takes minimal pressure for the switch to go to an open state. try Alliedelec.com

It did that to me the first time. I opened top all the way and made sure all drawers were shut then closed the top. Works great.

Yes, waiting until the battery is totally dead....or close as possible....seems to help batteries like this last longer each day well as for the life of it.

squeeze the sides and pull up on the battery at the same time. it was a struggle for me until i figured this out.

You probably already fixed this, but I ran into the same problem last night. The cause? The door on the battery compartment was not closed completely. It *looked* closed, but it wasn't. I opened the door to check the batteries and when I closed the door I saw a tiny little gap. Pushing down on the door caused it to click into place and everything worked.

There is a tiny on/off switch. If you forget to switch it off, when you're finished with it, the battery will be dead by morning :(
