YES! Changed the battery in my waist strap. It was easy to do. Haven't had to change the watch battery yet. I believe they even have youtube tutorials on how to do it.

Yes you can...the older models had to be returned to the manufacture but these new models offers this option to change out the batteries yourself

Make sure you have power to both the monitor and the sending unit, using a voltmeter.

Yes. But you may have to reverse the polarity of the batteries (turn them upside down)

Hi Jim,I don't see why not! The monitor uses four AA batteries. I have not tested if it works with rechargeable batteries, but I am certain it will not be an issue.

Put your thumb in the depression on the back of the transmitter and push it away from the lanyard connection. the back will open and expose the battery and the dip switches for changing the frequency.

Yes. Amazon item - LifeSource TB:181 Power Adapter $25.00 Prime. However, I have had my monitor since January and have not had to replace the batteries. $25.00 buys a lot of batteries.

It can be easily replaced. It is one of the flat disk batteries. I haven't had to change it yet, the screen turns off automatically when the scale is unused to save battery life.

My apologies for the delay. I have never had to change the batteries so I have no idea how to help you. I will contact the manufacturer for details. Thank you.

No you cannot without changing the electronics. A big task without experience and require time/parts/money. I took mine apart and replaced everything. The electronics in it is okay for a child to use. Not for me, I have several RC boats operating from a single programmable transmitter, a bit sophisticated. Also, the electronics is one board. It doesn't appear to have a replaceable frequency chip that one could exchange.

I no longer have my unit, but if I remember correctly, the battery is NOT user-serviceable. At least that is what the instruction manual stated.

9V battery in the bottom easy access to replace for the read out display. You MUST MUST MUST change the temp reading of F/C BEFORE you hang this unit or you will regret it as then you have to take it down and change it since the method for changing is on the back of the panel. So, best to hook up the battery and test the display (push the display button) BEFORE you hang it just sitting on your floor. If it is not what you want, then you have to tweak the little control box flip switches (in the directions).

No, the user cannot replace the batteries. This company does have a user replace model. My batteries are still good after 3 years.

I took the monitor to a battery store in our area. They replaced it with the same size cell phone battery.

I have yet to mess with it, but I believe the battery is removable. In the battery settings there is a monitor to see how the battery is working along with a link to buy a replacement one if/when necessary.

Suggest that you send end an e-mail to the seller. She is very helpful, and there are two kinds of batteries, one in the transmitter and the other in the receiver. Hope this helps,
