Hi,The turtlemeter that i bought brought the instructions but is really easy. You just have to push down the LCD and then you have to remove 8 very little screws. After that you replace the battery and put the lcd back in.

Yes. I just replaced them yesterday. You have to remove the screws from the turtles belly. Be sure to seal it back up properly or water may get inside.

Yes, you have to unscrew all the screws on the bottom. It takes three triple A's. Unfortunately changing the batteries didn't fix our problem - I'm going to call the company.

Had a similar problem. I removed, then reinserted the battery. The battery can be reached on the bottom of the camera, a small latch on the plastic cover allows access to the battery. Remove the battery carefully, noting how it is situated so that it is replaced in the same position.

Yes, I took it apart and found a new battery online. The tricky part was getting the rubber bumpers off so I could get all the screws out. BTW, the B&D; people told me it couldn't be done.

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.

you have to remove two screws, take it apart, then have access to the battery!

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

The battery is inside the housing. Not sure if it is replaceable. I doubt it. It wasn't touted as having a replaceable battery.

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

Actually there is a way to replace batteries, to open unit locate 2 short screws at the "cork" end. Taking those out will allow you to remove brushed metal end. Then on the side is 4 spots of rubber which cover 4 longer screws. Now be careful you don't dump out contents but now the unit halves open up. You will see a battery pack that is connected to a printed circuit board. Either unsolder off the circuit board OR snip and strip the wires and attach new battery which if you search on Google the printed specification of the battery.. Simple

There is a small Slot at the top of the casing that is easy to open with a small blade or screw driver or in fact, I can open it with my finger nail. Once opened you simply take out the small button battery and replace it, then simply snap the top of the casing shut. There is also a little diagram in the instructions explaining how to change the battery.

Connie, I'm honestly not sure. We tried to pry it open, because you can see a battery in there. I suppose you can change it- if you can get to it! Seems impossible to open.

Not sure have to probably take it into to radio shack or some place like that. I know the battery has a very short life. I have to re-charge mine almost every day even if it has not been used.

I am sorry, I had the same problem. I ended up throwing it away and ordering a new one! I did not see any way to open it and replace a battery.

The battery is removable so I assume you could replace it. Customer service is excellent as ASUS so I would suggest that you call them to find out for certain.

There is a battery compartment in the back which has a philips screw. I have never tried opening it. But I guess if you opened yours and could find a replacement replacing the batter would be possible. I am sorry the answer isnt more complete.

I can't say for sure. There are four small screws on the back. It's possible that you can get at the battery by removing them, but the instructions don't say anything about replacing the battery, so you would be on your own. Since the warranty is only 90 days, if the battery dies beyond that time, you have nothing to lose by trying.

No, the battery is not replaceable. There doesn't seem to be a way to open it up without breaking it. The battery does seem to last pretty well, though and I've had it since October 2012. So far, so good!
