also is it easy to change battery. I know how to take the back off, but not sure if its a big deal to take out old battery and put new one in

not a big deal, just slide the release and pop right out. Don't know your reason for changing your battery, but take the old out and reinsert first to see if it will take a charge.

extremely easy! just pop out the back cover, like you would on a cell phone. start at the speakers openings and use a credit card along the edge, help pop off all the clips.

I couldn't be easier to remove and replace the battery. Taking the back off is the most complicated part, so if you already how to do that...no problem.

Yes, but you must take the back off, not a pop out battery, still very easy to change...

there's lots of videos on the internet on how to replace the battery -- essentially it's 1) prying open the back cover, 2) pulling the old battery out (it's glued in, so do it slowly and carefully), then 3) pulling the little white plug out, and then 4) replacing it in the same fashion with your new battery, and replacing the back cover. It snaps in, you just need to do it carefully.Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi2RoheGfzg

I need to pull it when taking the battery out from camera. It's not easy but manageable. However, I notice the battery drain faster than the original. Hope this help.

There seems to be a very small battery door on back I have not been able to open it to determine what type of battery it takes. I would say it is probably too much trouble to replace. Current battery will probably last years, anyway.

Yes, it should be that easy. Turn the laptop off, unplug the power supply, take your battery out, then clip the new in just like the other. Should be good to go.

Yes, I've changed the battery some times - actually it doesn't last much.The battery remains somewhat pressed by a spring, try to pull it with a metal wire around it. It shoudn't be hard to pull it off.

It takes a large/wide, flat head screwdriver. Careful. Don't stab yourself. Insert into one side and go down 1/4" and pry up around the edges. There is a "rubber lip" towards the bottom that keeps everything intact but you must be careful not to go too deep. Keep prying up around the edges, the first time is the hardest. Once you get it out, the battery replacement is easy.

You can't turn it off. The only thing maybe you could do is take the battery in and out, but that'd be too much hassle. The battery seems to last fine, though. I've had mine for half a year, and the original battery is still working.

If you mean to take the case off to change the battery? It's not difficult at all. It kinda just peels off and then goes back on very easily also.

I have owned two of these units and I could never figure out how to replace the battery. It may be possible, if you are more technical than me. I found that the power cords go out, but you can buy very inexpensive new ones on Amazon.

Unfortunately the battery is not replaceable unless you take the unit apart yourself. There's a couple of youtube videos discussing this but it may be more trouble than it is worth. The sides of the unit are glued together and need to be heated to be taken apart.

Easy to change combo, yes. Battery life sucks though. Change the batteries at least once a month. Also the finish on the handle wore off in about the first month.

I haven't had any problems with the battery. It lasted about 2 years. It was a little tricky changing the battery. I just used a small micro screwdriver to push it out withput moving the metal piece holding it in place. Then I slid the new battery under it. I hope this helps.

Have never had to replace. I would imagine you could do it with some difficulty, but it will probably be cheaper to throw it away and buy a new one. I think the quality of the battery is better than the rest of the unit

I haven't tried to replace the battery in this one, but have in another version... they usually take a wheel chair battery, which are pricey. However, it wasn't easy to get the old one out and the new one in. Probably easier to replace the entire unit....

you can remove and replace batterys great idea!I was considered the the same thing as we'll.here are the isues I have run into so far . Extra battery's expensive. Extra batterys are heavy. And you still have to transport the trey and charge eventually too
