Does the battery pack accept a standard battery? Or does the entire pack need to be replaced?

Yes, it just uses normal AAA batteries. Very good lock. I have been using it for about a year and it works just fine!

Takes 4 regular aaa batteries. I just changed for the first time last week after 5 months. Pretty easy to change.. About 5 minutes with screwdriver. We love it... Have in a basement workroom door and autolocks everytime shut. Never a worry left open with children.. Youll love it. I want 5 more.

I saw this phone number in another answer here and called it. someone actually answered it and they are sending me a new battery pack in the mail - no charge. Must be a common problem - as is discussed here. cs@ekousaltd.com and 1-800-354-5605 (english only)

Sorry, I don't know. I've had mine for a couple of years and haven't needed to replace the battery.

You need a new battery pack! The battery charge should normally last for at least a week.

Yes, the battery can be replaced. Remove the two screws on the top, then unplug the black top from the battery pack. The battery pack is held on with some clear silicone, so you have to pry it off with a putty knife or some other tool that is thin and flat. I don't recall if it had three or four rechargeable batteries within a rubberized outer covering. I purchased one at Fry's Electronics for around $14. Very easy to replace. Wayne

Local battery dealers or places like batteryspec.com can match up the size/type of battery if you want to change it out. Some OEMs say "Not serviceable-when worn out send to recycling centers" in manuals (to avoid liability issues), but you can open the case and change the battery. Just getting a battery will be ~1/2 the cost of a whole new pack, so it can save you some (but costs you some time).

sure did - battery pack is dead- built mine out of rechargeable batteries soldered together and problems went away

There is no 'battery pack' in this unit. The batteries are individual cells soldered (tabs) in series inside the body of the unit. I am an electronic technician and I wouldn't care to tackle replacing the battery (cells) unless I would be well paid to do so. Vacuums with replaceable battery packs will make that feature clear in their sales literature.

Not sure about replacement batteries. I've never had an issue. I just charge it through the USB port on my computer.

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.

It is simple to replace the battery. You have to unscrew the battery cover, take the old battery out, replace the battery with the same type battery and then replace the battery cover.

Sorry, have no experience with that. All I know is that I installed it and it is still working. For the price paid I think it is probably worth the risk, considering that one battery in the store costs as much as the multi pack you get thru this site.

It takes standard batteries, maybe I overlooked a charging port, not sure,will check later and Re answer.

It's not an internal battery, it's a battery pack that you need to put disposable batteries in

I don't think the battery is replaceable. In the manual it says it can be charged directly with a solar panel 20 watts and lower. however I have a 15 watt panel hooked up to it and the charging light does indeed come on indicating its charging, but It never seems to charge at all. Its been charging that way for over a week and the battery meter still says its almost empty. I have tested the solar panel with a multi tester and I was getting over 20 volts and about 700 miliamps in the sun, so I know power is getting into the powerpack... It appears to charge fine via the ac wall plug. I bought this with the intention of charging it via the sun and I have seen some bundles with this powerpack and a solar panel so it must work. Maybe I just have a defective one...

That sounds typical. I purchased a set of rechargeable 9V batteries that I swap out on a daily basis on mine.
