Can the battery be replaced, or is it built in? Where can I get spare batteries?

Yes it can be replaced. You can buy a replacement from Oregon Scientific if they still carry them. I would check their web site or call their tech support line.

I do not believe you can replace the battery. I contacted the seller of mine about this and got conflicting info. They lastly told me to pry off the back to replace the battery which I believe will break the unit if attempted. My 2 still work so I have not tried it yet.

Yes, the battery is removable and yes, you can buy a spare from the manufacturers website, if not elsewhere.

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

It is possible to buy replacement (Panasonic branded) batteries for it, but the ecommerce site that sells them isn't Amazon, so I feel sort of weird pasting the URL here. If you take the battery out and Google image search for "Panasonic 700mah", you'll see the replacement battery and a site in the UK that sells it. Also, disassembling the thing to get to the battery is a pain. I found a disassembly instruction diagram on yet *another* site that sold no-name replacement batteries for it. That said, Amazon is currently showing a $20 price tag for this item. So, all said and done, it'd be nearly as cheap to just replace the whole thing and save yourself the hassle. FWIW, that's exactly what I'm doing. Factoring in shipping, getting a whole new unit is exactly the same price as having a replacement battery shipped in from the UK.

There are some guides online to tell you how to replace the battery. It involved de-soldering and soldering, so really only do-able for advanced DIYers. I tried and failed (but learned a lot about soldering on the way, so the $15 I invested was not completely wasted). Of course doing so will also void any warranty, so it's really only something that you will want to attempt if you have nothing to lose.

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.

AFAIK, no user-serviceable parts. Battery built-in, according to manufacturer.

The battery can be replaced. Take a look at e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsnL7BTUH1o

Well unless you can open it and try to buy a battery for it there is nothing else you can do for it. Read the Returns listed for the company and for Amazon opening it may void any chances for any replacements or refunds!

We have not needed to replace the battery. I suggest you contact the manufacturer. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

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.
