The answer is; the battery is a built in rechargeable. It would require a technician to replace it. The good news is that it is a lithium ion battery and will likely last the life of the unit... Cheers, Earl

We haven't had to do that yet so I don't know. I purchased this for my son and he absolutely loves it and uses it all the time. He is now in Alaska so I can ask him how to change the battery - but I don't have an answer right now. Sorry

The battery is internal and cannot be changed. It is charges via USB cable and either plugs into the computer or wall charger with an adapter.

Yes, it can. I love it, but please note that you will have to remove the case to replace the battery. It is not hard to do, though.

yes the battery can be replaced and should be. You need to locate the slip shield on it...it is part of the handle where you put your thumb...you need to pull down

Never even thought about changing the battery. But after looking at it, the answer is NO.....unless you rip a seam & even then the battery might not be replaceable. But I still think it makes a great baby gift or baptismal gift.

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.

Yes, the battery is replaceable. The front cover is removable and then the battery slides out.

Yes it can be replaced by the consumer. The one side cover opens and the battery comes right out.

It is not designed for the owner to replace the battery, however if you are handy you can open it up and replace the battery, it's soldered in so you should be comfortable with a soldering iron.

I don't think that could change the batteries! It uses only its' batteries!

You can buy batteries and change them. It is pretty easy, unless you are within the warranty period I don't think any store will take it back

yes you can replace the battery. Check with Petsafe web site or check amazon

I believe the battery is built in and I don't think you can easily replace it. But I could be wrong about battery replacement.

I do not know if you can but to remove the existing one requires some level of disassembly, which tells me it is not designed for quick switching of batteries.

I do not know, I would think changing the battery would be much easier. Sorry I can not help with that.

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=
