I think they've changed the design of the product. I own an older model and it is possible to replace batteries. I bought another one recently for my husband. There is no way to change the battery - hence the "120 Hour" designation in the label. After using it for 120 hours, you're done. Perhaps the offer of batteries is an artifact in Amazon.com related to the earlier model.

$$ we bought the old style that had replaceable batteries and the current company sued for patent infringement and made them exit the market.

The original version had replaceable batteries. I purchased the 120 hour version after hearing about them from a woman on a trip over to Mackinac Island. I get mild motion sickness that can usually be controlled by the wrist style pressure bands but needed something stronger than that for my partner, who was turning green during the voyage. After a test run on a Mexican fishing trip that allowed her to survive the experience without the need for prescription patches, I searched around and went to another site to purchase a second, replaceable battery model. They are still out there but are prox twice the cost. The original version had replaceable batteries.

That is the only problem with this. It is an excellent product, but once used, they want you to buy another unfortunately. I contacted the company and was given the same answer that I am giving you. They do last a long time and are well worth the money if you get seasick or have nausea problems, but I do wish they would make one where the batteries could be replaced. Good luck!

I'm not sure, but the old style did have replaceable batteries and maybe Amazon hasn't figured that out yet. Although that makes their "Frequently Bought Together" items very suspect, or at least based on very old data.

Here's a tip from a user that successfully replaced the battery for this unit.MediaBaron says:I had one of the older non-replaceable battery models. I was able to carefully tap a razor blade around the seam to separate the top and bottom half, replaced the batteries and put it back together using a hot glue gun so it could be easily be taken apart again. This far from an approved process but if you're going to throw it away anyway give it a shot. I gave it away to someone who's wife was going through chemo and bought the model with the replaceable battery before they were discontinued. It wasn't pretty after the hot glue but it worked.

No it cannot be replaced, since it's more than 2 years old and out of warranty they will not fix it citing un availability of parts. You will need to buy a new one. If you are good at taking things apart and soldering you can try to dismantle it and get an after market battery.

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

It might be available, I do not know but I do know that on any of this type of tool, it is never worth it to replace the battery as the price of the battery is so close to the price of a new unit.

Well the battery pack is internal and not replaceable... That said if you a resourceful DIY person I'm sure you would open then handle and figure out what its got inside for batteries and locate a replacement if you were so inclined. This one is new so I hope to not discover what's inside for a few years to come.

They're internal lithium batteries like an iPhone. I don't believe it is replaceable but you should get a long life from these batteries

Screwed in plate on the bottom indicates that it takes AAA batteries. So I assume they can be replaced.

As far as I can tell, the rechargeable batteries are built-in. I'm not even sure if they're replaceable.

They take 3 little batteries that are commonly found at most stores, and are somewhat of a challenge to change, but not a big deal. The only tool required is a coin. The batterieis seem to need replacement about every year or so.

It is not designed for the owner to replace the battery, however if you are handy you can open it up and replace the battery, it's soldered in so you should be comfortable with a soldering iron.

Internal rechargeable battery probably can't be replaced..but I have had mine for years and recharged dozens of times

Replacement batteries do not appear to be available. You might communicate with the manufacturer directly, but since these units are quite inexpensive, you might be money ahead to just buy a new one. Sorry.

yes the battery can be replaced, and it is hard to open it up. I had to ask my husband how to do it.

I have never replaced it, so I don't know. I have had good luck on E bay getting new small rechargeable batteries at a very low price. Try there..........

the battery is internal and can't be replaced and even if you could it would probably be more expensive than a new stun gun

Batteries could be already charged or they are old and no longer holding a charge.

I don't think so, it's a non removable battery so replacing it is almost not possible
