Yes, its very easy to replace the battery. Also I've had mine for 18 months and I haven't needed to replace it yet.

Yes you can! i don't know the battery model but you can find it in the box.

No you cannot change the battery. So buying a spare is of no use as you do not know which one to buy and how to change

Yes, but you need to know electronics to replace it. You will need specialized tools to replace the battery

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.

Yes! It's also cheap and easy to do! You can buy the replacement battery here on amazon and instructions for actually replacing it can be found online.

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

If you want to get into taking the unit apart (disassemble it), then yes you can replace.. there is no 'open door' to change the batteries.. you need to solder-desolder the old (and new)-replace-- reassemble.. otherwise you can't..

Yes, it isn't really that difficult, but it is a little unique. You have to take out the key part, which is the same way you would change the battery. Then you will have just the old shell and the circuit board. There is a little hole in the front of the circuit board thing (in the yellowish part) and there are two holes about evenly spaced on the green part of the board. What I did was use a metal tooth cleaning device (like a pick) and pried the board out by first pulling on the front slot in the yellow part, then I used the hook of the pick to get into one of the round holes in the board itself and pulled it the rest of the way out. Use firm, but gentle pressure. I figure if I broke one hole I would still have the other one. Just be careful, take your time, and be gentle. I'll try to include a pic if possible.

I don't know if you can change the battery or not, but it is a horrible pad. The only reason I have it is that a backup external hard drive I had from Toshiba blew up, they offered me a credit and I bought it (because I am never again buying a Toshiba hard drive). The quality is mediocre and the whole thing is overpriced. It is also not reliable. So I bought a Samsung one for the business and it is much better.

It has a connection for the usb cable that comes with it. There isn't and actual battery that you can change.

I don't think so, it's a non removable battery so replacing it is almost not possible

Local battery dealers or places like batteryspec.com can match up the size/type of battery if you want to change it out. Some OEMs say "Not serviceable-when worn out send to recycling centers" in manuals (to avoid liability issues), but you can open the case and change the battery. Just getting a battery will be ~1/2 the cost of a whole new pack, so it can save you some (but costs you some time).

you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing. Just go slow and dont force anything. you need the old casing!!!!after opening clean off ledges on casing. the batteries have a part number on them. go on line and buy a couple. under $3 apiece. use solding iron to remove and install new one/ones. note how they are wired up and install same way,,, put back together and use just a dab of crazy glue. peace you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing.

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
