How is this charged/or how do you replace battery

It comes with a car charger, I don't think there is a battery you replace. I've had it since July and have left it in my vehicle through hot and cold weather and it holds charger good and I haven't had to charge it very often.

I only have a car charger with it and have only had to charge it a few times and have had it for over a year. The charge will last for quite some time if you turn it off when done at end if day.

Best bet is Dr. Power Equipment at http://www.drpower.com. they are the original manufacturer of the cart. A local battery specialty store may carry what you need as well. This option would possibly give you the oportunity to have your existing battery checked, in case the problem is elsewhere in the cart. I suggest you take the dead battery with you, and possibly the charger, if you visit a local supplier. The new battery will be about $100, but if your cart is a useful to you as I have found mine, well worth it. Good luck! If you find a better location for the battery replacement I'd be glad if you let me know. I need to replace mine as well.

I am the same as the others, mine came charged. I installed it several weeks ago and it works. Maybe you should check with the company for a replacement. Good luck.

I charge it via my computer or eletricity. I do not know about battery, I think there is no battery attached to it. You are supposed to charge using your computer (USB port) or plugging in the eletrical socket.

Ok for those of you who can use a Phillips screwdriver and an Allan wrench. Remove the screen mesh and unscrew the speaker. You must do this to get to your battery. Once you see the battery unplug it and take it to Radio Shack. They carry the same battery there. It's usually by the counter. They also use this style of battery for power wheels. Cost is about $24.99. Instalation was a snap cause it's the same style and size, not to mention voltages. My original battery lasted for 3 years and I have been using the replacement kne for 2. It's like changing a car battery. Do it your self.

The battery is built in, so you don't replace it. It has a USB connector, not unlike your cell phone, which you charge it either via your laptop or with the cord and plug that comes with the unit.

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

Two questions: is the charger functioning properly? And, is the battery old and no longer able to be charged?

don't count on any new battery to be fully charged! mine had a charge but I'm sure it was not 100% charged. Once installed your system should start charging it.

You charge it by plugging into your computer. There is no battery to change. Mine lasts a LONG time before needing to charge and it doesn't seem to take very long to get fully charged. So if yours doesn't work after charging a few hours then it is defective.

Mine doesn't charge anymore either. I didnt know the batteries were replaceable! Sorry I'm just posting this so if you get an answer I'll be notified too :) good luck!

There are some guides online to tell you how to replace the battery. It involved de-soldering and soldering, so really only do-able for advanced DIYers. I tried and failed (but learned a lot about soldering on the way, so the $15 I invested was not completely wasted). Of course doing so will also void any warranty, so it's really only something that you will want to attempt if you have nothing to lose.

It is charged on a charging base, remove it and use it, just like a cell phone, let the charge die and re-charge.

Try removing battery and replacing it. If still no charge, yes, replacing the battery was worth it for us after several years of hard use.

This is a battery maintainer, your batt. should be charged before you use this.

Is it possible the battery is not charged? The instructions suggest it is necessaryto discharge fully then recharge. It may be it came discharged, and must be on charge to be recognized, I bought an inexpensive battery and it lasted aboutthree days, then began indicating it should be replaced. The only other possibilitywould be an incorrect battery?Best regards,Sammy

No it isn't charged already, and I'm sorry but I doubt you'll ever be able to buy one that is charged at all. No batteries for devices like these come with a charged battery.
