Can the batteries be replaced?

There are some batteries that can be replaced. There is apparently another internal battery that can only be replaced by sending back to factory. It is claimed to have a long life.

NO! replacing the battery wont reset the device. It will just continue to display L for low battery. I assume that the factory calibration is lost when the battery is removed.

yes, remove the battery cover, replace old batteries with maxell LR44 or equivalent. then replace cover. fwiw, my old one lasted years and years. then the batteries went out and i replaced them. they lasted a long time, again. but the next time, new batteries didn't help. so i got another. but i guess i kept this more than 10 years.

I had the previous version, where the batteries can't be replaced. It last 11 years before dying. It was in my truck the whole time, even during New England winters. Since the old version (2001) doesn't have replaceable batteries, I will purchase a new one.

I've only had mine for about a month, but did look at right side of guage and there is a battery compartment with small screw and compartment contains three stacked mini-batteries. I also saw a review by another user that says: "Yes, it uses a calculator type battery but it will last a long time with normal use".

The rechargeable batteries are in the handle but they are not replaceable as far as I know. I bought one 6 years ago and the batteries still hold a charge for over an hour.

Technically, you COULD replace the battery but the battery is sealed in the unit so the operation would constitute an unnatural act and, probably soldering and things like that. So, no it is not a consumer replaceable battery.

Yes you can replace the recargable batteries -- they are the same size as a AA Battery thus you can substitute regular AA Batteries till they run out.

Yes, the batteries are replaceable (but not by a typical user)- you must disassemble the unit and have soldering skills. I've replaced mine almost yearly. It takes about an hour, but is cheaper than using the Electrolux option.

Yes. But they're the watch style batteries if you need to replace em. Not rare, but not household type.

I guess you could! We just got it about a month or two ago and we've not had to replace the battery yet.Typically,the batteries last a long time.I hope that helps.

No. Its batteries are internal and rechargeable. I guess they can be replaced but would require disassembly. It also has a hand crank for emergency power.

I'm not sure that the battery can be replaced as the bottles are sealed. The bottles are just like the old fashion ones we had when we were younger. We thought they were great.

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

No. The battery lasts very long, about a year. After that you can just change it by the new one.

Yes! It's also cheap and easy to do! You can buy the replacement battery here on amazon and instructions for actually replacing it can be found online.

Actually, you don't. The battery is rechargeable, but if it fails, just buy a new set. It would cost more to replace the battery.

The battery pack is not replaceable as in a cordless tool, but I Imagine could be replaced if one has the skill to disassemble. I plan on doing this when the time arrives for new batteries.
