I know they are rechargeable, but can the battery be replaced? Rechargables do finally expire for good.

no they cannot be replaced. I've had two - the pins bent on the first one - and have not had problems with the batteries losing their charge due to age. I'm that in theory this could be an issue - I'm just saying in practical terms it has not. I try and charge the unit without removing from the helmet because that's how the pins get bent. A design flaw for sure - but in very other way the Sena is still superior. That said - it pisses me off that my first unit wasn't replaced even though the warranty had expired by a few months. It's the way good companies build good will and loyalty.

I know many folks that have them already several years. I am sure they are replaceable.

That's a very good question that I was also thinking about recently. I've had my units over three years now, and they still hold their charge for a solid month. I use them 4 days a week, back and forth from work, streaming music, I'm afraid I haven't tried to research...

No, the battery is not replaceable. Your issue seems like a fluke though, so I just wanted to point out that having my old trimmer for years and with this newer one so far, I have had no battery issues. I even leave them plugged in all the time. Sorry for your luck.

Yes you can use rechargeable batts. they last for a good period of time..I've been using. Rechargeable batts for a year and everything good.

As far as I know, the battery can't be replaced. It's good for about 6 months.... hope this helps.............

I don't believe that the battery is replaceable. The package says that it is a rechargeable NiMH. You might be able to get at the batteries by removing the two small recessed screws near the bottom of the timer.

I do not see any expiration date, but if the battery does not hold up well, then its time to replace it.

The battery stopped recharging after <6 months of using it and no way to replace them

Dianne, I have bought this many batterries many times and have never had them go bad. They have worked flawlessly up to 6 months past the expiration date( had some packs that I had stashed in vehicles). I would not worry that they will expire to much. I too have the rechargeable option, but find it inconvienient away from home and mainly rely upon disposible batteries for my implant. Hope this helps, David

Yes, they do have replaceable rechargeable batteries. Just contact the company to get one. www.etoncorp.com

They are rechargeable. I haven't had to replace any yet...they last a long time with good sun/light during the day!

I am told no and the replacements are not rechargeable. They do have several years of life prior to failure.

Oddly, these batteries remain on the list (as of Aug 1 2015) even after I've put a check in the "rechargeable" filter (to stop seeing non-rechargeables). They show up as "rechargeable" even though (based on the answers here) they almost certainly aren't rechargeable.

Yes, they will need replacing some time, but I would expect 2 or 3 years service first. My units came with good quality rechargeable batteries. You would notice the units running out of battery power after 10 or so minutes when out of their stand if they needed to be replaced.

No, the batteries are not replaceable. Based on my experience, they will break long before the batteries die so battery life will not be an issue.

Yes you can replace the recargable batteries -- they are the same size as a AA Battery thus you can substitute regular AA Batteries till they run out.

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.

Yes, but they are 'demonstration' batteries, and won't last. (Even though mine seemed to...) I'm sure those batteries are available through Amazon.
