Check the little holes on either side of the backing, there should be a small screw in each, unless they've changed the backing. You will need a narrow Phillips screw driver. It will require two 9-volt batteries and they will last for about a year, depending upon your timer settings.

At the rear of the display screen are 2 Phillips head screws. Remove the cover and you have access to the batteries

the back is held in by philips screws also a seal is on the back plate, just remove screws and pry up.

You change the battery by unscrewing the screw by the bulb area where the number cr2032 is... Using a small Philips head screwdriver. Hope this helps.

There are four small Phillips head screws that need to be removed. It can be frustrating to make sure that everything is assembled correctly after replacing the batteries, but it is possible to do so and should not take more than about 5 minutes.

Facing towards the opposite side of where the battery goes,there is alittle tab on the cover which ya gently push in alittle bit, in the opposite direction,while gently lifting and sliding the cover towards the end with the little tab.That will expose the battery.Once ya change the battery,reverse the procedure making sure the battery is centered in that plastic cover so it sets back into its' respective position.Do NOT FORCE or you will break it.Take your time and look at it.It's really not that hard to do.I just had to go look at mine,then remove and replace the plastic cover cause I did it awhile ago.So look at it,take your time,and everything should work out alright.Good luck!

I moved mine to the left. Just takes a normal philips head screwdriver. And it does come with batteries. Good luck.

No. who has a long enough extremely slender philips head screwdriver lying around? that's what you need to take it apart just to put batteries in. search for "screwdriver" among reviews

Unscrew the bottom and remove batteries. Replace with new batteries of supported size. Screw the bottom back on. Voila!

Batteries go in at the bottom. Just "unscrew," place the batteries and screw back on.

The batteries are enclosed in the dome part of the unit behind the LED and sensor. You can unscrew the battery encasing from the unit but you would need to get up to the unit to change the battery.

Pop off the front plastic cover. There might be one screw holding the batteries in behind a plate. Once removed, there is an electrical connector that needs to be disconnected. The batteries should slide out just by pulling on them. If they don't budge, they might be bulged. In that case, you would need to disassemble the chassis some more.

If you have a tiny Phillips head screwdriver with a magnetic tip (like the ones that are used for eyeglass adjustments), you should not have a problem. There are 3 tiny phillip head screws that need to come out to remover the backing. Once the backing is removed, there is one more TINY Phillips head screw that "holds" the battery in. Once you have the right screwdriver, it can be changed within 3 minutes.

Thank you for posting this! I tries to find out how to change the batteries another day but tonight I found your post and found the screw! The polar express is back in action!

There are two screws on either side of the on/off switch. Unscrew them and a small battery drawer will come out.

For other screws I'd recommend a reverse screw, though these are so small.. perhaps that could end disastrously. Alternative methods are going to be a challenge because the screws are set so deeply. Have you tried stretching a thin rubber band or disposable glove material over the provided screwdriver tip for added grip? I'm curious as to how you stripped the stock screws! I've replaced my screen twice and disassembled my phone dozens of other times to manually charge my battery (while waiting for a replacement USB charging port), yet the involved screws are in near-perfect condition.

I got my last one from Batterysharks.com. Item NB6-4.5. All you have to do is take it apart. take out the screws and the brace that holds it in and put the new one in. very easy. you can do a google search for that item as well. call 800-657-1303 or order@batterysharks.com

you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing. Just go slow and dont force anything. you need the old casing!!!!after opening clean off ledges on casing. the batteries have a part number on them. go on line and buy a couple. under $3 apiece. use solding iron to remove and install new one/ones. note how they are wired up and install same way,,, put back together and use just a dab of crazy glue. peace you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing.
