Can the battery be taken out easily? Is the battery upgradable?

It can't really be taken out easily, it's not one of those detachable batteries. I'm not sure if it can be upgraded or not, but the battery lasts 6-8 hours while surfing the internet and using basic office software.

Nope, the batter cannot be taken out at all. Ultrabooks like this have the battery integrated with the motherboard. You can possibly ask the manufacturer about an upgrade, but it probably isn't easy requiring you to send it in for weeks.One option is the possibility of getting external power through usb batteries. These are fairly new devices which are useful to extend battery life.

Hi The battery Cannot be removed from the camera. Because of this you cannot change the battery. So you need to be smart how you use the camera. The camera is very good value with some limitations. Richie

It looks like it can be removed, but it is not meant for use that way. The battery is stored in the stock, so you won't want to remove it.

Yes, it is very easy to take it out, you just have to slide both locks and the battery is out.

Yes, battery is removable. http://community.acer.com/t5/Notebooks-Netbooks/Cannot-remove-battery-E1-572/td-p/161317 There is an oval slide release for the battery underneath, it is designed for a pen/stylus tip to slide open.. See link for picture on forum.

Yes, quite easily. Right beside the closure area is a "pocket" that you slide out & replace the battery. Hope this helps you.

You have to take off the edge brush then take out the four screws in the bottom that hold the plastic base onto the unit. Once you remove the bottom, the battery is right there and easily accessible. When swapped out just put it back together and give it a good charge before you use it.

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.

The battery is rechargeable and have had it for a year and no loss in charge. I am not sure if it is replaceable at all.

Decent battery life.. It's very hard to replace since the battery is non removable

The battery is removeable and can be easily replaced when necessary. The battery insertion instructions can be found in the below link. http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMCSZ3_ADV.PDF#page=10

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

It is very easy. On the left side there is a circular slot that you turn open and pull out. The battery area is inside.

Yes. Easy to remove. You can replace it by buying another one when it eventually konks out as well. But the battery on mine has been good now for a long time. Havent had to replace it yet.

Most of the answers below are wrong. It is absolutely user replaceable. It *isn't* the snap in snap out type battery found on some notebooks. To get to it you need to take the whole bottom cover of the notebook off, easily done with a Torx T5 screwdriver. But once you've done that, you can unplug and remove the battery and replace it.

Hi - No - the battery is replaceable and is under the unit or at the base of the unit.
