Battery life? How long does the built-in battery last? And how much does it cost to replace once it dies?

The built-in battery should last a couple years, like most lithium-ion batteries. A replacement battery from Sandisk costs $20 MSRP, and you can easily replace the battery yourself, all you have to do is unscrew the 4 screws on the back and switch the batteries.

The battery is great. I charge it about once a week (at night) and it lasts all week for me. I use it daily on the bus to school, back and various other times in the day

The battery is rechargeable using a standard micro USB power cord (which is included with the unit). Unless your device is defective, the battery should last for a long time. After several years, I've only had to replace 1 battery for the three units I've owned. A replacement battery (which I bought on Amazon) cost under $5.

I have not had to replace the battery for the last two years. Since the price is so reasonable, I would purchase a new one instead of replace the battery. It is nor worthy replace the battery. I hope that help.

I think fairly long, but mine just totally died about 6 weeks ago. I am no longer that thrilled with this purchase.

I have three of these and they don't usually die but I have one not holding a great charge after 2 years. Since the warranty is only 1 year, the company will replace the battery for a fee. But you do have to send it in. Don't open it yourself or you may hit something inside. There is also a reset hole in the silver ring bottom. Push a pin in it for 5 seconds then hit the on button for 5 seconds and see if the reset charges the battery. Best of luck.

I've had it for about two years now, and the battery life on it is about two hours, give or take. It's definitely better than the one I replaced, though. I'm still a little disappointed that I have to practically keep my laptop plugged in just to be able to use it for longer periods. Hope this helps!

The battery cannot be replaced. But it should last for 2 to 3 years, after which we usually get a new player/device.

Not sure but the built in battery is already not holding a good charge only after a few months. And it is non replaceable. IT only works with battery won't work while plugged into wall. Sucks!

The most I have had battery life is a little over 2 hrs. If you charge it and don't use it right away it will die. But honestly for the money its a good price. Hope this helps.

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.

The battery lasts for roughly 150 minutes of "on" time. There are spare batteries available for $29.95 each if you need to hot swap.

Overall the battery life is good. For a heavy user like me it lasts for 2.5 to 3.5hrs. its good. the only drawback is it has a inbuilt battery. which means its not user replaceable.

Contact the seller. The battery ought to last at least a couple years even in heavy use and the seller may send you a replacement or at least sell you one at a big discount. If not there are a number of good sources for batteries on amazon. Look for a 4-5 star product from a 90%+ seller if possible.

Im not sure how long the battery will last because mine is not completely dead yet. It comes with an usb port, so you can charge it.My husband use it once in a while and its still works fine. It can be used as a toy, but maybe not for a kid with less than 8 years old because its a little bit fragil. Some parts are metalic and others plastic.

It usually last for 2 hours. You should be able to get a second Battery, even a bigger one.

The battery is built in and the GPS comes with a USB charging cable. We use it connected by Bluetooth to an iPad and it barely drains down in a 6-7 hour day of driving. You won't need to replace this battery for a long time based on my experience. I'd guess 25-30 hours between full and low charge.

It is not replaceable. And the battery life is horrible. Only around 2-3 hours.
