The battery is removable with some effort. The company does not sell replacement batteries to individuals, but you can google the battery part number to locate a distributor. Cost is between $20-30.

The batteries are removable....but I myself still have this light and now it only works for 10 min due to the battery. I can't find the battery to buy separately.

First, see if you can find a replacement battery from ATD. I am sure it is a special battery. If there is none available you have your answer.

I had the same problem and tried to replace the battery. Although replacement batteries are available, Norelco advises against doing so and now I know why. When I attempted to remove the original battery I found it either glued or soldered to the contacts. upon removal the contacts broke off and stayed attached to the battery.

I got this on Aug 2013, and now it is only 6 monthes or so, and I use it not daily, but once--weekly, so the battery is still good, not 30mins, over 1 hr no problem. never measure it.

Hi, I have not used it that long, but so far, the battery is holding up. Have not tested it on an all day run!Sorry I can't be of more help!

I've had mine for quite a while. I love it and have had no problems. Keeps a charge for hours! Maybe you got a bad one.

It is a built in Lithium battery. So, I'm assuming no way to replace it.They are asking me to assume the charge of shipping and send a $9.95 check for possible repairs because mine stopped working.That would probably be what you would need to do if yours needed a new battery. Since I've had mine less than 6 months I'm not a happy camper.Probably will not send it back. (This is their idea of a guarantee, I guess.)

It's a piece of crap, don't buy it. It quit working while I was away, and my cat nearly starved to death. Had fresh batteries in it, it just quit. Lasted about 6 months before it died. I bought another type, it seems to be working fine for the past 3 months. Don't remember the brand, but email me and I will look into it and make a recommendation. Oh, and it's battery only.

The battery usually last about 2 yrs. I would get it diectly from the seller, I did and the seller sent me a new one right away, but again that will depend on your seller. To remove and insert a new battery is very tricky, so it takes some tweaking. However, if you just bought the product, send it back for a new one. I'm very happy with my two.

I was just about to suggest (and feeling a bit smug about it, I'll admit) that you simply re-boot. I had forgotten about the non-removable battery. Oops. Who feels foolish now? This is a great post. I hope somebody comes up with a useful suggestion.

It doesn't work. Mine also lasted about 5 months - maybe used it 12 times. It's in the junk pile. Save your money.

Is it possible the battery is not charged? The instructions suggest it is necessaryto discharge fully then recharge. It may be it came discharged, and must be on charge to be recognized, I bought an inexpensive battery and it lasted aboutthree days, then began indicating it should be replaced. The only other possibilitywould be an incorrect battery?Best regards,Sammy

Contact the company. Battery sounds defective. They promptly sent me a replacement when I told them. Replacement battery has been flawless for 1.5 yrs. NO complaints.See my review for details:http://www.amazon.com/review/RUZWUM3ZAKBZ4/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00B2RS4VW

You're better off throwing it out and buying one at Lowe's where they have replacement batteries which are inexpensive and dependable. Hated this cheaply made poj. Besr of luck!

Mine too - I've had 2. I thought the first one was defective so I exchanged it for a new one. The second one is the same so it basically junk. I'm looking for a new one. Best, Jenn

I have not tried it, but since you purchased one, try unscrewing one of the ends and see if the battery is removable. it takes a special battery which should last you a long time

Hi Matthew. I see where you are going with this. I don't see an actual date on the battery itself. This info may be part of a serial number or another code. I am finding that the replacement battery is not holding a full charge the way I think it should. My opinion is that replacing the battery is simply a temporary solution. Every once in a while I get a message that the battery has less than 5-minutes backup left. This is not right! When I am faced with having to replace it again, I would very likely buy the whole assembly new. Hope this helps.

Do not buy it. On mine the whole battery assembly rotted out in about 6 months. Junk
