Is it worth getting an extra battery and if so what kind? Is the battery easily removable and replaceable?

Worth getting extra battery. Replacing them is easy. The kind of battery should be listed in the product description.

Arlene...I actually returned this camera as it underperformed for me...in fact I didn't like it at all!

My bloggie has not required an extra battery. It holds a long charge when off. I have to recharge mine about every weeks.

The battery is easily removable and replaceable, but it should not be necessary to get another battery unless you are planning on using your Bloggie a lot. I contemplated getting one because I use it a few times a week...but charging on down time (while I upload to YouTube for example) saved me from having to get another battery. Good luck!

I havent even known that it requires an extra battery or I can add one.I use it quite a bit and it works fine...It is a very good camera for little movies of simple things like babies or a little recording you need to upload. Its Photos are useless and the videos are not high quality for making into high quality movies. SImple Youtube or Picasa uploads they are great... quick and fun.Hope that helps.

I bought two extra generic batteries. Occasionally the camera prompts me stating that the battery will not work because it is not a downy product. If I give the blogging a light smack, insert a different battery, or even take the battery out and reinvest it the prompt doesn't appear and I can use the camcorder.

The battery is replaceable. The information that came with it said it is Bluetooth 4.0--hope that helps.

It appears that the battery is internal and non-removable. When I received it, I gave it the full 6-8 hour charge and its last over two weeks.

I believe it's worth the money because you get an extra battery. No down time!

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

I bought the extra battery. The original sent with the Birb Elite package lasts about 65% of the time the after market one on amazon does. I charge both and have the spare ready for when either dies. Its little cost compared to missing a video or great picture shorts that come once in a life time. When only taking 16 mp pictures the battery goes forever. When on Wide angle video I get about 3 plus hours on the packaged battery and almost 4.5 on the aftermarket.

the battery is removable... kind of. the battery is a distinct field-replaceable unit, but you need to remove the keyboard/touchpad/palmrest to get at it. this involves removing nine or ten screws and carefully separating the top and bottom halves of the unit. The unit has a feel of a netbook to it.

The battery is rechargeable and have had it for a year and no loss in charge. I am not sure if it is replaceable at all.

The battery is removable. It has a release latch that requires a small object (like an ink pen, etc) to slide the latch, so you can't accidentally release the battery.

It does have a replaceable battery. There are four tiny phillips screws on the back and it clearly says "CR 2032 Battery", which is easy to get at any drug store. If you want it to stay waterproof, you'll need to be very careful about the seal. It might be worthwhile to have a jeweler replace it. Probably won't charge more than $5 or so.

There doesn't seem to be any way that an owner/user was intended to easily replace the battery. Having said that, I hadn't had to replace the battery so far. Its been my experience that most any battery can be replaced regardless of whether or not the manufacturer planned for that contingency. In this case, the base appears to be removable which "I assume" will give you access to the battery. Once you have the battery in hand, it becomes an Internet search to find and purchase a suitable replacement.

Mine came with the battery as well. There is a removable battery so if you want a backup it is possible.

Sorry, The Battery is not user replaceable. You need to send to service center or to a professional for replacing a battery

The battery is not removable. I mean you can break into it and see if you can get to the battery but the build is not intended for that.

Yep, there is a replaceable battery. Lithium ion, flat cell phone like battery. Don't have it with me to quote specs, however.

No, the battery is not replaceable. There doesn't seem to be a way to open it up without breaking it. The battery does seem to last pretty well, though and I've had it since October 2012. So far, so good!

The battery is removable, so as long as you can find a similar version of it, you can replace it.
