From what I read, it runs on an internal, non-replaceable battery? Or am I wrong and it runs on a standard AAA/AA replaceable batt?

It takes 1 regular replaceable AA battery. According to website it last for ~1yr. I have been using it daily for ~5 months or so, daily on the same battery. I am very pleased with it. Website also states that is 1000 dpi, if you care to know.

It is powered by a replaceable AA battery. It runs on a treadmill two days a week to stay in it's lean, faceted shape.

I've only had it for a week, so no battey problems yet. It lasts my whole 10-hour work day on a full charge. There aren't any instructions included abot replacing the battery, but it looks like someone else responded and said it IS user-replaceable.Li-ion should last for years, but good battery maintenance will help extend the life. For at least the first 10 cycles, I charge it fully, then drain it completely. Don't recharge when it drops to 80%, 60%, etc. The performance doesn't suffer at all even when it is almost dead. That should help you get the most life and best performance.

it seems it is only internal battery too (not a user replaceable like previous model) ... too bad i guess, as it will need to recharge when the battery depleted instead of replacing the battery with the fully charged one.

No, this is not an AAA battery. Further, when installed, it is a rechargeable one.

it runs on 3 x AAA battery just fine however if you want the power cord look for an AC power supply here is one InstallerParts DC5V 500mA Power Supply AC100/240V 2.1/5.5mm Plug There are others that will work also. It just needs to be AC/DC 4.5V/ 100mA adapter.

It works with a AAA battery. There are some AAA batteries that are rechargeable, but it's not worth getting set up for that. A normal "over the counter" AAA will work for a very long time. Don't forget, there are no moving parts in this device, so power demand is ULTRA LOW on it. Yes, it does have an LCD screen on it, but its really small, so doesn't use a lot of energy there either. I have had this device for about 6 months, put a "Duracell" battery in it, and have not changed it yet. Oh... and it DOES have a "battery life" indicator on it, so you won't get caught "short".

It is a rechargeable battery. From what I understand, getting a replacement batty from Pignose,(as you can't readily buy it), can be the only problem with this great little amp. If you charge it all the way,(simply plugging in the supplied cord), and then use it 'till dead, then repeat.....will keep the battery in shape for years. I have had no problem with the one I own, but, I do try to play it often to keep the battery up to snuff.

Unfortunately no. It runs on ordinary AAA batteries. Try rechargeable batteries to save cost.

no, I have not run it off an external battery. It's an interesting question--especially for people who go camping.

I don't think that it's a consumer replaceable battery. You must place it on the charger when it runs low. I'm thinking that when the battery no loner works then you must send it to Garmin.

Yes it runs with battery and the unit can be taken to Battery's plus and they will change it for you!!!!

It uses replaceable AA cells. I think they recommend rechargeables. I don't remember seeing an indication. I'll look when I get back on Thursday and respond again.

the battery is not replaceable. make sure you refer to you're owners manual. mine had the same problem initially. its important to let it run dead a few times. it will explain everything further in manual.

I never run it on batteries, mine is plugged in at all times. The supplied power supply is 5 Volts at 100 mili-Amps. I suppose you could power it from a USB power supply provided you could connect with the correct connector.

No, it runs on a AAA battery. And don't bother asking Coby at their support email address. They never reply to questions!

No it runs if gas cylinder, like butane. It has an igniter like a gas grille. So no batteries. Work great

I have run it for about 6 hrs before on a fully charged battery. Sometimes 7 depending on how often it is used. I keep a spare fully charged battery on hand just in case.
