is it easy to replace the battery? Do it let you know when the battery is low? How long will the battery last?

Yes, battery is easy to replace. There is no indicator as to when the battery is low, but you can tell when you use the scale and the light is dimmer than normal. No idea how long the battery lasts. I only use it once or twice a year. One caution, make sure the scaled is balanced with the weight of the bag, otherwise you will get an inaccurate (lighter weight) reading. This cost me extra money when coming back from Europe last year...

Yes, it works fine and is very easy to replace. Battery case comes apart and you can see what to do.

Hi Brad, We got the unit in 2/2013 (btw: SUPER EASY to install)!! We have not yet had to replace the battery; but, we do not use the unit every day (maybe only once a week). Hope this helps a little.

I'm thinking it's a bad unit. Ours works fine. Have used it for 4 1/2 months and haven't changed the battery once.

I don't know about replacing the battery. It doesn't appear that you can remove it, but I'm not sure. As far as the battery life, my wife says she gets about 3-4 hours of continuous use watching a movie or YouTube videos. She has never only used it for calls alone. I hope this helps you.

The battery can be replaced. Take a look at e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsnL7BTUH1o

So funny.. i just replaced the batteries last night. AA batteries, it was easy to replace, there are some small screws. The batteries lasted over a year, but it is having some trouble in the cold weather. It is in the negatives here in NY and the outside temp is not reading.

I don't think there's any easy way to get into this thing to change the battery, but you won't need to think about replacing the battery for a LONG time. Battery life is VERY good on a single charge (about 25 hours), and if you really need to run it longer than that between charges, you can plug it into a car charger or AC with an appropriate "power only" adapter.

Yes! It's also cheap and easy to do! You can buy the replacement battery here on amazon and instructions for actually replacing it can be found online.

Sorry, I never noticed the battery and am reluctant take it apart. For me, it will be better to replace the unit than to purchase a replacement battery.

It is replaceable. If you use it less than 5 minutes per use a lithium battery should last a year or so.

I can't honestly remember exactly how long it took for the low battery to go away, but want to say it was at least 24hrs. I would give it 2 full days before contacting the seller. Good Luck!

You replace it. Extremely easy to do, just slide out little tray at tab. Got 2 replacement batteries at Walmart for $4. The original battery lasted 2 weeks for me & I used it around the clock (15 minutes on & 20 off) for 3 days for siatic pain.

If there's a way to change the battery, I couldn't find it. Mine died after about 4 months. I like the unit, so bought a new one but if its battery dies as soon I'll have to try another product.

how long does a battery last? If I have not used it for more than a year will the battery still be good or do I need to replace it?

I've been pretty happy with mine. Quick readout but I couldn't figure out what type or how to replace the battery. Mine still is working. I bought it last November.

Yes, I've changed the battery some times - actually it doesn't last much.The battery remains somewhat pressed by a spring, try to pull it with a metal wire around it. It shoudn't be hard to pull it off.
