Are you able to change the battery yourself or do you have to ship back to polar to get the battery replaced?

You can change it yourself! Just open the back cover w a coin, and the battery is one you can get at a drugstore, Walmart, or target

I've not had to replace the battery. Perhaps the manufacturer could give you an answer. Locally we have a store that advertised they have any kind of battery needed so if I did need one I'd try that store first. They might have economical batteries and would be a local access if you needed more batteries in the future . Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

The battery is built in. I haven't had to replace mine, but the specs do state it is possible to replace when it stops holding a charge.

I don't know. I have not had to replace battery as of yet. You might call the company. They were very helpful to me.

Contact Polar.com and inquire as I don't remember the length of guarantee on F1. Yes battery is replaceable and can cost from $7.95 up to $12.95 depending where you purchase. I follow insturctions in Product Manual and return to Polar Service Center closest to me as they also give it an overhaul for same price of replacing battery. Excessive use of backlight and sounds reduces batterery life. I am on my second F1 with first one lasting me over 2yrs before I needed to replace battery. Now that first one is obsolete and needed a second new battery I just purchased a new F1.

The package states "self recharging battery", but nothing in the package insert indicates it is replaceable. There also does not appear to be an easy way to open the unit. Try to contact the manufacturer and let me know what you find out.

Their customer service is actually really good. They responded to my bad review and sent me a brand new battery to try and a shipping label to send the original one back. According to their Amazon profile, they follow the standard Amazon return policy but to be sure, call them directly: 1-800-988-7973

Call polar. They ran a diagnostic via telephone, the determined mine was defective and they sent me a brand new one free.

If there's a way to change the battery, I couldn't find it. Mine died after about 4 months. I like the unit, so bought a new one but if its battery dies as soon I'll have to try another product.

No you can not replace the battery it is internal. It does have the option to connect an audio cord to it so that when the batter no longer works it is still functional.

I've had my Gardena for over a year and it still has a strong battery. Therefore, I haven't tried to change the battery so, I don't know about replacing the battery. Sorry.

Yes the battery can be replaced. I'm not exactly sure which one it takes but it is a round one like a watch battery or old style hearing aid battery. Sorry not at home right now on the road.

You don't change this battery, you recharge it. If the battery has failed it will need to be returned to the manufacturer.
