Can anyone tell us how to change the rechargeable batteries in this item? There were no instructions of how to get to the battery.

Unfortunately, I could not open it up to see how to change the battery. I went online to find a parts list. Could not get any technical/repair/parts information on this product from DeLonghi. Gus

I don't think you can. This is our second unit and as long as you keep it plugged in, it should last a long time. We had our first one for about 5 years and then it finally died.

Check to be sure first of all that the charger is operating by looking for the red light when its plugged in. Please note: these batteries are rechargable. If the red light it is on then its possible the batteries are defective, The batteries are enclosed in the main section near the handle. Check with Radio Shack to purchase the same batteries, you may also need a soldering device due to the battery tabs are sometimes linked together.... It may be a better idea to replace the entire unit!

Unfortunately the battery is not replaceable unless you take the unit apart yourself. There's a couple of youtube videos discussing this but it may be more trouble than it is worth. The sides of the unit are glued together and need to be heated to be taken apart.

There's a switch on the bottom that you turn on. If it doesn't work, it's probably defective just like mine was. Mine never worked. I tried putting in brand new batteries so many times and it never worked. Super disappointing. Send it back for a refund.

Did you ever figure this out? Mine died and I'd like to try changing the batteries but I also don't want to invest much, in case that's not the issue.

I haven't had it long enough to know and face that dilemma. I had to toss a different brand because I could not access the rechargeable battery. I hope this one can be opened somehow to access what are usually very NiMH standard batteries, but I don't know. Good luck. Maybe Waring can tell you.

On versions that have the built in battery, I am not sure there is a way to replace it. If you do have problems with one that has a built in battery, you may have to contact the manufacturer. Some models don't have built in batteries so you just use regular AA batteries.

You can't access the battery so it isn't replaceable. However, if its like most rechargeable batteries, you should be able to recharge them hundreds of times. I usually recharge mine weekly, so it should last a long, long time.

You can't change the battery. It's permanently closed. I don't think you've been able to change the batteries in small calculators for 30 years.

To change the batteries, you need a very fine phillips screwdriver. It is like doing surgery, easy for something to slip out of place.

Mine lasted longer than that, but you can change the batteries. Carefully twist the plug where the on/off switch is. It opens, and you can access the batteries.

Not sure if first email came through. Undo screw on the side of unit and you should be able to change the batteries

Sorry to say I have never changed the battery. Its not written in the instruction sheet nor can it be found on the web. It just says battery is for back up.

You can't change the battery. Plug in the unit with the charger that came with it and charge it up.Mine is over 2 years old and I just charged it up - I use mine everyday, including downloading docs/presentations/videos for my job. Of course I have other apps on it as well. I'm not a gamer, but I have enjoyed using it. The music player has become a favorite. Good luck.

I put the whole thing together before putting batteries in and now cannot take apart the piece that holds the batteries. I'm sorry, no help here. I'm trying to figure it out myself before my daughter grows out of it. Good luck!

It does not say that you can't use rechargeable batteries.....all it says or references is that you should not mix old and new batteries an/or standard and rechargeable batteries....You just helped me actually cuz I never thought of using rechargeable batteries...Good job!!! :)

funny question .) it seems to me that the batteries had to purchase separately. of course, I would recommend rechargeable. good luck!
