Can this be hand operated if the battery(ies) run(s) down; before you get replacements that is? Also what kind of battery does this use?

There is a red and green light that flashes on top so I would have to say that it will flash when getting low. I have not had to put batteries since I purchased it. 4 AA I think, it should tell you where it say more about this product.

Unit is strictly battery powered. It uses size AA batteries. For as much as I use mine, I judge the battery life to be pretty darned good.

No. Its batteries are internal and rechargeable. I guess they can be replaced but would require disassembly. It also has a hand crank for emergency power.

No you can not replace the battery it is internal. It does have the option to connect an audio cord to it so that when the batter no longer works it is still functional.

It uses a CR2032 battery. I have not needed to replace my battery yet, but looking at the unit, I see an access plate on the backside of it. It can be opened using a coin. Replacement should be very simple.

the battery is not replaceable. make sure you refer to you're owners manual. mine had the same problem initially. its important to let it run dead a few times. it will explain everything further in manual.

Well the battery pack is internal and not replaceable... That said if you a resourceful DIY person I'm sure you would open then handle and figure out what its got inside for batteries and locate a replacement if you were so inclined. This one is new so I hope to not discover what's inside for a few years to come.

Not without a lot of effort. There is a metal flap in the bottom that can be bent open and the battery taken out. Good luck finding a replacement of that size and voltage.

I've been pretty happy with mine. Quick readout but I couldn't figure out what type or how to replace the battery. Mine still is working. I bought it last November.

No it's not designed to be user replaceable. I too am not very satisfied with this unit. It is VERY easy to bump the ambidextrous switches and run the battery down, since it does not have an auto off feature.

The battery is not replaceable. I haven't stressed the battery enough to reach any conclusions regarding its quality.

Definitely not easily user replaceable, the battery is soldered to the board. My battery swelled up after several years of service, so I broke open the case to recycle the battery. Never tried running from USB power only.

I believe you can change the battery. If it's difficult for you, maybe a friend or family member can help? I have not had to replace my battery, but if I remember correctly, you just use a small Phillips screwdriver, take the back off, & replace the battery with a new CR2032 3V battery.

Yes, If under warranty they will replace battery. Just call them. Awesome company. Great chainsaw, light weight, cuts great, a lot quieter than gas powered ones, and the chain stays sharp. Great tool. Buy it, you will be happy with this chainsaw. I'm 58 year young grandma, and love working with this tool. God Bless!

The battery is built in. I haven't had to replace mine, but the specs do state it is possible to replace when it stops holding a charge.

There doesn't seem to be any way that an owner/user was intended to easily replace the battery. Having said that, I hadn't had to replace the battery so far. Its been my experience that most any battery can be replaced regardless of whether or not the manufacturer planned for that contingency. In this case, the base appears to be removable which "I assume" will give you access to the battery. Once you have the battery in hand, it becomes an Internet search to find and purchase a suitable replacement.

No you should be able to take it out of the box and use it right away. My remote came with a battery and it has worked with no problems. If you need to a battery, there is one that works, simply use a nickel or coin to open the back and there is a number on the battery to which you replace with the same type. I didn't have to do all of that but just in case you do, it's simple.
