Are batteries still available for this exact model? Is this still in current production do you think?

I don't know. I haven't needed batteries, but the same model phone is in use in my military organization so I would imagine batteries are available.

I ordered a battery from Batteries4Less two or three months ago. Worked fine.

Amazon won't answer, you'd have to ask the seller if you don't trust what the person who gave the review said. Beside the picture of the battery, where it says: "In Stock.Ships from and sold by- Certified Battery" click on their name (certified battery) and then at the bottom/right side of their page, you have to the option to "contact seller" through email or whatever.

Did you purchase the correct battery? I bought this one because it was exactly the same one the was in my laptop. I have had no problem with it at all. I kind of agree with the other person that you might have the wrong battery.

It's a sealed unit, that must have a pretty custom battery to be so flat. Probably would be hard to find even if you could get access. I would suspect battery life will degrade slowly over a long time.

Mine is near 3 years old. Battery life is certainly shortened now (probably 10-12 minutes run time) but zero complaints about its performance. Gets used a few minutes every few days. I have been guilty of leaving it on charge a few days over the years. Certainly been a good value so far. Will likely built my own battery for it when the run time is unusable.

Pure greed. Or is it stupidity? If they would just be reasonable, and go back to making the replaceable battery version, think how many more they would sell. I won't buy one till they do.

yes, I bought mine from amazon in january 2013 and it was then the latest gen2 with ECR and has been flawless so far. came in factory sealed box that looked to be fresh from the factory. (mine was shipped and sold by amazon)(cant say about third party sellers). I wolud like to note that i ordered 10 replacement batteries from the Viridian web site thinking they would be the best and freshest (you know the ones with the fancy green casings that say Viridian), well Viridian sent me 10 skrink wrapped duracell batteries. wich they were fine and all but i could have got duracell cheaper and faster here on amazon. hope this helps. yes, I bought mine from amazon in january 2013 and it was then the latest gen2 with ECR and has been flawless so far. came in factory sealed box that looked to be fresh from the factory.

Sorry Brian I'm not sure if the battery is replaceable as mine is still working OK. There is however a battery type engraved on the back as a CR 2025 so I'm guessing that maybe it is replaceable. Sorry I can't be of more help.

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.

Yes, it's available in Amazon.com. just look for N8800 model replacement battery

In talking to the tech folks, they tell me, "This unit has been discontinued for 4 yrs or so and it is not built to have replacement batteries" I responed, "Then why does it stae in manual about potential battery replacement?" Never heard back. I ahve jsut replaced the batteries but it is a MAJOR ordel and you'd better have someine that isn't shy about getting into the guts of the generator." Overall I'm disappointed in this unit and would ot recommed it to anyone.

Love the unit, but all batteries die in time. Battery should be replaceable, so we all need to check with the manufacture. Have not looked at the unit with that in mind, but now that you brought it up, its another one of those challenge's in life.

Try eBay or a retail store that sells nothing but batteries. Most stores that specialize in batteries will carry that particular battery. If none are available, try eBay (though you never know what you will get there).
