The Battery Is it replacable? Do I need to worry about keeping it fully charged when I'm hunting or fishing? Can get a spare for it?

I replaced it with a cheaper generic with no problem. It's not like the Panasonic's that require a coded battery and that's a good thing.

No, you can't because it has a rechargeable battery. You just have to make sure that the unit is fully charged before you go fishing. It would also be helpful if you bring along some kind of charging device so you can recharge the unit when it starts to run low on power.

It didn't say that it wasn't new when i purchased the battery. I assumed that it was new. It sure doesnt work like a new battery though. It is better (slightly) than a dying battery which is what a had at the time. So, if you looking for a slight upgrade for the cost; it is a good deal.

The battery is an 3.7 volt Inova rechargeable and does come out (so you should be able to replace it).I like this light a lot, very solid built and very bright, only drawback is you don't have a focus ring. Flashlight gets my thumbs up...

The battery is not replaceable. It is supposed to last 5+ years. I have two that have been in use for over 10 years and are still working. One on a garden tractor, and the other on a log splitter. I just purchased 2 more last year to install on atv's I got for the grandchildren. I have read on the internet that people have cut them open (very carefully) and replaced the battery and resealed it. I may try this when one dies, and if it doesn't work I will just throw it away and buy another one.

It does have a replaceable battery. There are four tiny phillips screws on the back and it clearly says "CR 2032 Battery", which is easy to get at any drug store. If you want it to stay waterproof, you'll need to be very careful about the seal. It might be worthwhile to have a jeweler replace it. Probably won't charge more than $5 or so.

Well, I used it in our relatively short growing season in Northern Michigan, and just about to break it out again. I will say that last Fall, after I no longer needed it the battery stopped charging, but they are sending me a replacement since I called in the problem last week.That said, it performs great. Battery lasts maybe a half-hour at full speed, but that's all I need.

I use a marine battery I bought at Walmart for 70 or 80. I don't use a fish finder. The battery has never run out on me after most of a day pushing a 14 foot rowboat

That's a good deal. You could go ahead and buy a spare battery from Amazon and for ~$131 you'd have a nice trimmer setup. We have a small in-town yard and I have yet to run through both batteries but I always go through one, so having the spare is essential. I also have to agree to some extent with Anthony Deyal, in that if you're using the trimmer for heavy use, the battery drains real fast. It's got plenty of torque with the gear drive (I use it to trim hedges occasionally), but using that kind of power sucks the battery dry. It really needs a li-ion pack.

I don't know the exact battery type, because it is a sealed unit, (probably nickel-metal hydride (Ni mH)). It does not come with a "spare" battery, just the one in the unit when you buy it, and this battery does ot appear to be user-replaceable. It charges through the supplied cable to a USB port, or if you have one of those adapters that charges USB devices directly from an AC outlet.

The battery is removable, but I dont know if there is a spare battery available.

I have the same machine. I love it and haven't had any battery issues especially while keeping the unit on while fishing full days while engine isn't running.

I bought the first one 2 years ago, so far the battery is working well. My brother charges it once a month and uses it every other day! Not yet need change the battery, but I guess when ist is gone, the only way is to replace to a new one, after all, it is only 20 dollers after sale.

I have been in the Jon boat 12 ft with small cooler 2 guys and fishing gear and oars. We have fished canals for over 5 hours and have yet to run the battery down. It is a amazing little battery.

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.
