I assume that when the battery gives out one must throw the unit away ?

Hi Skyhawk, you can send the unit for service if you wanted to replace the battery. Thanks -Sean

I believe it can be replaced by Sony. I leave mine plugged in all the time so that it's ready to go when I am. I didn't like having to charge it every time I wanted to use it.

In theory that would work, but if the battery is discharged it will probably burn the module up trying to maintain the current

I had one die. I put it out with the ewaste and batteries and they took it.

According to the documentation, the unit will remain OFF after a power failure. I believe this is a safety precaution.

If the unit is good, no. If the unit is bad, it will not turn off until the batteries are drained (or not turn on at all). As I posted above, you have a 50-50 chance of getting a good unit. If you do decide to buy this unit, ALWAYS buy a NEW unit, not a used one.

I don't think so. It would just say 0:00... I would assume you can take the battery out to preserve it....

There is a battery compartent in the light and siren unit. Just pop off the lights and siren.

I never remove the battery. Just turn it off and it will not discharge. If you are not going to use it for a month or two it is(as the others have also mentioned) good practice to remove the battery to guard against chemical leakage which can happen...........enjoy your Chrony and may the force be with you.

I'd start with the battery. If the unit has not been used in a while, the battery probably has lost it's ability to be charged.

Kind of. The voltage regulator is actually part if the battery. It shuts off at full charge and also shuts off to prevent over discharge.

Why would one need a battery for something new? If it doesn't take a charge, the unit should be replaced under warranty.

No. But the company denies there is a problem. If your unit is within the warranty period, they will replace it with another one that drains the battery. Then they deny there is a problem.

yes thats usually the battery one would have separated to eliminate the possibility of it draining

I agree with snowskier, the battery is continually charged until there is a power failure and the battery takes over.

no, your the one who has to turn it off, i turn mine off every time i don't use it.

I'm not sure, but there might be a small piece of plastic over the battery in the remote that needs to be removed. It would help to keep the battery from discharging prior to use.

There is a small piece of plastic across the power input terminals under the battery. This must be removed for operation.
