Is the battery replacable? What size does it take?

Hi Paul, The battery is not replaceable, it is a crank radio, never needs replacing just crank.

Doesn't look like it. No battery doors or panels. Although, I've had this thing for a while now and it still hold an excellent charge and is very loud. The weather band is so-so, although CA doesn't have many events where it matters.

If you want to get into taking the unit apart (disassemble it), then yes you can replace.. there is no 'open door' to change the batteries.. you need to solder-desolder the old (and new)-replace-- reassemble.. otherwise you can't..

Yes, the battery is replaceable. I keep the unit in the charger 90% of the time but when I use the unit on battery it lasts about a couple of hours.

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.

No, the rechargeable battery inside is not replaceable. I use mine almost every day for over 8 months without any change in battery life. If you're worried about the battery not being able to hold a charge in a few years, then you may want to contact the manufacture to see if they offer a battery replacement service.

The item has a built in rechargeable battery. No need to replace battery, but I do not know the model. That would be a question for the seller.

No, it's not considered user replaceable. Though here is a video of someone taking it apart, and he shows how you would replace the battery if you're adventurous and careful, and if batteries are available: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI1Lm_-1djY&mode=related&search=

I don't think it can be replaced. The battery is recharged when it is connected to a USB cable and recharger. I use the cable which came with my cell phone.

Sorry, I've never tried to replace the battery, so I wouldn't know? I really don't use mine anymore and I'm looking to get rid of it. It's just collecting dust in my garage.

Yes the rechargeable battery pack is replacable. Only used the crank a couple of times. Solar charging works very well.

The battery is rechargeable and have had it for a year and no loss in charge. I am not sure if it is replaceable at all.

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 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.

Technically, you COULD replace the battery but the battery is sealed in the unit so the operation would constitute an unnatural act and, probably soldering and things like that. So, no it is not a consumer replaceable battery.
