I think the battery capacity will be reduced with repeated charging & using the device. Is there any way to replace the non-removable battery?

Do not know however if Panasonic has not offered a replacement my guess is that this is one thing you will not have to worry about. One additional thought: the cost of sending the unit to a repair shop for them to get into the watertight case and replace it would probably exceed the cost of replacing the unit.

It is "possible" to replace the battery. It would involve disassembly of the unit and plugging in the new pack. By the way, the unit is purported to be waterproof to 5 feet. I would not immerse the unit in fluid of ANY depth. It is not at all waterproof. Water will enter the unit through the microphone and set up corrosion that will destroy the innards very quickly. ( I had this happen to me)

The battery is removable so I assume you could replace it. Customer service is excellent as ASUS so I would suggest that you call them to find out for certain.

I have repeatly but don't leave it un attended. You should get a deeper charge with just with the battery along in the charger if you have the option.

The package states "self recharging battery", but nothing in the package insert indicates it is replaceable. There also does not appear to be an easy way to open the unit. Try to contact the manufacturer and let me know what you find out.

It's not replaceable, but offsetting that it seems to have good life.I've owned mine for about 1 year. I frequently travel for work, and for trips less than 5 days I charge this (and my Bosch electric for the rest of my face) and leave both charging cords at home. Even at home, I typically plug them in to recharge only once a week - that's a "best practice" that'll keep your batteries lasting longer regardless.Over time, by nature of Lithium Ion batteries, that charge life will degrade slowly over time - but they've built in enough capacity here to ensure long life.That may offset your concern about the battery being non-replaceable.

After removing the screw, push the battery cover up towards the top of the device with your thumb. We haven't had to change the battery, but it was definitely a good question.

Not replacable? Bummer! My unit is 2-3 years old and battery life is down to about 10 hours or less now. I had no idea I was expected to throw away a perfectly well functioning device for lack of a battery. This seems crazy!

I don't think it's possible to replace the internal battery. The charger isn't made to access the internal battery.

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 believe it can be replaced by Sony. I leave mine plugged in all the time so that it's ready to go when I am. I didn't like having to charge it every time I wanted to use it.

A rechargeable battery should work. I do not think it comes on the device assuming you will replace it, but most devices out there comes the same way, assuming you will just replace the device in the future rather than the battery. However, if you open it, and you are able to remove the battery and place a new one with similar references, it should work.

it seems it is only internal battery too (not a user replaceable like previous model) ... too bad i guess, as it will need to recharge when the battery depleted instead of replacing the battery with the fully charged one.

You can't take out the battery. It is not replaceable. Mine stopped charging after 7 months. NOT HAPPY!

This device does not allow for a replacement battery. When the unit stops charging efficiently, you need to buy a new one.

This isn't the portable model (although it's not heavy or anything). There's no removable battery, only AC power rated at 5V. Hope that helps.

Yes and no. The device uses a LiFePO4 400mAH battery with an attached wire/plug. You could find such a cell and replace it but a battery like that isn't that common yet.I'm thinking it's going to be a long long time before you have to worry about it though.

The battery isn't replaceable. If the charging cradle isn't functioning you can plug the charging cable directly into the remote. If the battery has expired you are out of luck.
