Does this use an internal battery? If so, is it replaceable?

From the manufacturer: "TINY-TACH™ unit is potted to prevent damage from moisture and vibration. Lithium battery life 5+ years, not replaceable."

It does have an internal battery and as far as I know it can't be changed. However it works great and I believe it suppose to last about 5 years.

I believe it does have an internal battery. And have to send it back ton have it replaced being it is a sealed unit. Hope this answer helps.

The battery is not replaceable. It is supposed to last 5+ years. I have two that have been in use for over 10 years and are still working. One on a garden tractor, and the other on a log splitter. I just purchased 2 more last year to install on atv's I got for the grandchildren. I have read on the internet that people have cut them open (very carefully) and replaced the battery and resealed it. I may try this when one dies, and if it doesn't work I will just throw it away and buy another one.

No internal battery to replace from what I could determine. I am very pleased with both the ease of istallation as well as quality. And the customer service was quick and knowlegable!KA

There is a factory installed battery that is supposed to last ten years. I installed one on my last boat and it is still going after twelve years.

It has it's own built-in rechargeable battery. Not sure if it's replaceable though. The FM reception must depend on your location because mine was very good but I'm in a big city.

It doesn't have an internal battery I don't think. If it does not charge your device while facing the sun and everything plugged in well - contact the seller!!

Well the battery pack is internal and not replaceable... That said if you a resourceful DIY person I'm sure you would open then handle and figure out what its got inside for batteries and locate a replacement if you were so inclined. This one is new so I hope to not discover what's inside for a few years to come.

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 it's not a replaceable battery. I bought this product and the battery stopped working in less than 60 day with minimal use. It was replaced and the same thing happened with the newer product. I had not used either product more than 5 times. After contacting the seller they would not accept a return or fix the product, because I had just reached the ninety day threshold of no money back or returns. It is a piece of garbage!!!

Yes there is an internal battery you could try to replace but it is not normally supposed to be user-serviceable. First I would make sure the dc adapter is working and/or try another adapter. It is more likely that the adapter has died as even if the battery was 'dead' (i.e., would not hold any charge) it should still allow passage of enough current to work while plugged into a power source. Even brand new, my battery only lasted perhaps ten minutes. If left for a few days without driving, it completely discharges, but works fine as long as it is plugged in. There have been occasions the adapter came loose and I thought the unit had died but I just needed to jiggle the adapter in the 12v socket.

It is a rechargeable internal battery not replaceable. Battery lasts a long time, lithium ion I believe.

Yes the battery is replaceable, as long as you put the AA, rechargeable or not.

No, it's not considered user replaceable. Though here is a video of someone taking it apart, and he shows how you would replace the battery if you're adventurous and careful, and if batteries are available: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI1Lm_-1djY&mode=related&search=

It has accumulated battery inside. You can charge it with micro usb cord. I think the battery can't be replaced.

Yes, the battery is replaceable. I keep the unit in the charger 90% of the time but when I use the unit on battery it lasts about a couple of hours.

It has a 6 hour battery life. It is an internal rechargeable that is non-replaceable.

No it doesn't. It takes 2 AA cell battery's instead. So their always replaceable.Nice little camera, for the price.K.O.

Yes, there is an internal battery but it does not last long. I would not count on it for any use beyond short term. I never took the camera to a concert or event, just use it to record music for posting to YouTube. The accessory pack is a good value.
