Are the batteries replaceable if they fail?

Yes they are, however the only place I've seen them is at WalMart, where I buy the lights early in the Spring. In a pinch, you can get similar batteries at Batteries Plus, if you have a store close to you. They are very good about making replacement batteries. The company that sells the Westinghouse solars lights is not set up to supply replacement batteries. They are rechargeable, and last a long time.

Yes, I've been disappointed in many solar lights. Finally some makers are putting the lumens on the box. I purchased some Westinghouse solar lights this Spring at WalMart - I think they were 40 or 50 lumens. I have them under some birch trees in our front yard, and they light the trees for several hours after sundown. Not quite as bright as low voltage lights we used to have, but a whole lot less hassle with broken wires and burned out bulbs. Each year the company that makes Westinghouse seems to increase the brightness, so I'm wondering what we'll see in 2015. tAKE CARE

Yes the battery is replaceable, I don't know how much they are, the battery last about 20 minutes if on continuously, very bright nice spotlight.

As far as I can tell, the rechargeable batteries are built-in. I'm not even sure if they're replaceable.

Yes, the batteries (2) are replaceable; although the light failed after about 3 uses.

cannot replace the battery they are soldered into the circuitry inside. Major bummer since one of ours died already and my husband tried to fix.

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..

The rechargeable batteries are in the handle but they are not replaceable as far as I know. I bought one 6 years ago and the batteries still hold a charge for over an hour.

You might be able to. Unscrew the sides and if the rechargeable battery isn't soldered in, it might be replaceable.

Yes. But they're the watch style batteries if you need to replace em. Not rare, but not household type.

Yes, you can replace the batteries. They are a 3V Lithium, type CR2032. Hope this helps.

Yes, the battery is replaceable. Its the same as a fairly common cell phone batt. The owners manual gives instructions.

Yes, you can replace batteries. Just open the case, remove old batteries & cross reference them. I got the replacements at Auto Zone.

all of them are replaceable if you know what you are doing, batteries are not meant to last forever, even rechargeables, i have over 100 helicopters and have changed batteries in almost everyone...if my 6 yr old can solder, so can you

I don't think so. The batteries are deep inside and would require "surgery" to replace.

No. You can't replace the batteries. Its a disposable pen light. How convenient? !?

I use regular replaceable batteries and it has a little button you push to check them. But I don't see why you cant use rechargeable.

They're internal lithium batteries like an iPhone. I don't believe it is replaceable but you should get a long life from these batteries
