Thanks for going to the trouble of preparing this video. It's really helpful, since the info you explain is very difficult to find elsewhere!

Great job. The SST-400i is identical right down to the battery type. Lost my clock in the latest outage and was looking at replacing my whole unit, Saved me at least $50.

Thank you so much for the instructions! This not only helps me with battery replacement, but my display looks like it has condensation on the LCD so will try to gently clean from the inside.

Very Well presented! It would have been a lot easier to have access to the Battery from the side to be able to replace without having to take it all apart.

Thank you. I think they built it to never replace the battery.

Is the station run cycle lost when the battery is removed during replacement? Is there a battery low indicator on the SST? I really like your tutorial, I need to remove the SST from wall to paint behind it and have misplaced the manual. Thank you.

As far as I can tell, you won't lose what you programed, you might just write it down or take a video of your programing before just to be safe. That way you will have it if you need to reprogram it. I do not think there is a low battery indicator. You might try searching Rain Bird for a manual, I sure one could be had in a PDF. Hope that helps

Thank you this was in our home when we boughtit. After 3 years of resetting the clock every time the electric went out, I will replace the battery and save that headache. Should have thought about the battery before 😂

In the new unit I just purchased, they are using the old plastic container where it states that it needs a nine volt battery. Someone at Rain Bird needs to change the container; this is very confusing. It would be easy for me to change the lithium battery, but not everyone can do this. My old rainbird had an easily accessible slot to fit the battery in. I suspect that they did this so people would just buy a new controller rather than change the battery. Planned obsolescence.

Correction to my statement above. I did not read closely. It states "no 9 volt battery needed." I didn't see the "no" imbedded in the white plastic. The planned obsolescence statement may still be pertinent, only because of the difficulty in changing the battery.

RGfixitright does the battery control all lights on board also?

The battery is only there to allow the clock to keep time during power failure, that way when power is restored your timer clock does not need to be reset in order to keep with your programed watering schedule. The battery does not control any valves or operate the display. It is strictly a clock back up battery.

Any ideal how often the battery should be replaced? My station timer is just a little over 4 years old.

Unfortunately I do not have an answer for you. I do not know how long a battery will last in the timer. Good to know you have 4 years on yours. I guess if you unplug the unit and then plug it back in and the time has reset, then I would say it needs a new battery. Thanks for the question.

I just replaced the battery and found a label I put last time I opened... 9-9-2013! So, in my case it lasted almost 10 years
