Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the rechargeable batteries in this device?

Yes. They can be disconnected from the radio. They look like 3 AAA batteries wrapped together in plastic, radio shack probably sells them. The radio does also take AA batteries at the same time. I am very please with my purchase of this radio, the weather alert feature works very well.

Yes, the rechargeable batteries are replaceable. It's a NI-MH battery pack with a connector as is used in cordless phones.

I have disposable AAA batteries in mine, I'm sure you could find some rechargeable batteries online if you wanted to though

About the email you sent me. The battery is rechargeable C probably, have to take apart the whole unit and unscrew it to replace it

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.

I'm not sure if this device uses rechargeable batteries on not but it may not matter.I use mine a great deal and the batteries last forever. The company has a customer service dept and if it's important to you they'll be happy to help

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

Apparently not. I have been very! happy with ours and have not had to replace the batteries yet after several months of use. I bought rechargeables for when the time comes. The only problem that I have had is that it has just spontaneously shut itself off a few times and then everything has to be reset. Not sure if the batteries get jiggled around too much or what. But all in all it has been a godsend for us.

I haven't yet had the need to replace the battery. I did however take a look at it yesterday as I was also curious and the only thing I can think of is using a straight screwdriver on the two screws (assuming they're screws) on the face of the device. You can see the battery within. There is no way they'd make a device you can't change the battery out on... it's gotta be it.

Apparently so, but I'm not really not sure. I couldn't find any product like this that has replaceable, rechargeable batteries. If someone knows of some, let me know. (I know there are a few that use regular batteries.)

I don't think the batteries are replaceable. My daughter has owned it since Christmas 2013 and it still works.

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.

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.

I've never tried rechargeable batteries, but a regular battery. The power consumption of this device is really low so one pair of batteries lasts forever.

Honestly, I really don't know, but I know the batteries are get and a wonderful price. Contact them directly, they should be able to assist you.

The battery is removable, so as long as you can find a similar version of it, you can replace it.

We have never replaced the rechargeable batteries. Make sure that the blue light is on when charging.
