Yes, the battery cover is locked when the device is locked, and cannot be removed

You only have access to the battery compartment,when you set the combination code on it,and later on you will have access to the battery,or replace it, in its case.

This device is designed well. The battery compartment can not be opened when the alarm is set without destroying the device which would set off the alarm. The device is sturdy enough to withstand anything most people carry around. A sledge hammer or cable cutter would set off the alarm before eventually disabling the device.

I personally have not replaced a battery and have not had the opportunity to do deal with that question. If you are able to open it, you should be able to see the battery and get the number or size from the existing one inside. I hope this helps, but I am not the expert, just a casual user, contact the maufacturer or go on line to e-how and pose that question and hopefully you will be able to get an answer.

The battery cover is screwed in. It is closed with a single small screw and you would need a small screwdriver to open/close it.

Generally if the seller doesn't claim that it is "protected", you can be quite sure it is NOT. To protect, they have to add a protector disk, typically at the bottom of the battery; and connect the + & - terminals to the protection circuit. As such the battery will cost more than the same battery without protection. So check the title & description, you should be able to decide if it is protected or not.

Hi na,the battery is built into the device therefore I do not believe removing and replacing it is an option. The charge does last a very long while however.

There's a slide-out battery cover right behind the wrist band on the back. It's a little concealed by the band but you can still get to it.

It's kind of weird. The battery cover is actually the top of the mouse itself, including the buttons. There is a release on the bottom and then the top comes off all in one piece. Overall, this mouse is garbage though. If you haven't already purchased it, I suggest looking at other alternatives. These do not last.

There is a sliding cover to the 2 battery compartments. I don't have mine in front of me, but you should be able to figure out which way to slide it open.

Yes, I couldn't remove the battery cover neither; so, I asked my husband to do it for me. We think the cover is difficult to remove because the device can be used in water.

Your worry is well-founded; there is only a space for the battery in use; they covered over the space for the spare. They are not using the space for anything else, so why not let us have a space for a spare when the battery dies, as they always do?

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

yes the battery can be replaced, and it is hard to open it up. I had to ask my husband how to do it.

***UPDATE*** According to Joel Koury, the battery is glued to the casing, hence not replaceable. Thanks for the update.--------------------------I would say YES. It's not like Monster would make a proprietary battery. It probably uses a standard 18650 lithium battery or something that is very similar and available to purchase from battery vendors. From the looks of it, there are two circular rubber disks (not the four rubber feet) that cover the screw holes on the bottom of the unit. Remove those rubber disks and unscrew the base. That should give you access to the insides including the battery. ***UPDATE*** According to Joel Koury, the battery is glued to the casing, hence not replaceable.

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.

No, it is posted on I fixit.com. Not simple, I'm moderately technically skilled, and had no problem replacing the battery.

I purchased a replacement battery and they have changed the battery posts - so it is not easy. I had to solder the new battery in place.The new battery has slip on posts and the old one was attached with a small screw and nut. Bah Humbug....
