Can the battery be replaced if it goes bad?

I can't say for sure. There are four small screws on the back. It's possible that you can get at the battery by removing them, but the instructions don't say anything about replacing the battery, so you would be on your own. Since the warranty is only 90 days, if the battery dies beyond that time, you have nothing to lose by trying.

Yes it can. I would have a jewelry store replace it when, and if it does go out. You shouldn't have a problem for years to come.

I do not believe you can replace the battery. I contacted the seller of mine about this and got conflicting info. They lastly told me to pry off the back to replace the battery which I believe will break the unit if attempted. My 2 still work so I have not tried it yet.

I think that the battery pack can be replaced but not by you. Try going to a Batteries Plus if you have one in your area.

The battery has gone bad. You need to replace the large battery; then it will be fine. Battery lasts about 5 years.

The battery is replaceable if you can find a company who would still source such a battery. I found one online some years ago. There are about 7 screws that would be removed to open the bottom cover. Once the bottom was carefully opened, the battery would just unplug from a small connector on the main board. You could take that battery to a store specializing in rechargeable batteries to see if they can fashion a replacement. When the battery was new, the device would usually last through a whole day's normal use.

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.

Not sure have to probably take it into to radio shack or some place like that. I know the battery has a very short life. I have to re-charge mine almost every day even if it has not been used.

The battery can't be replaced by you. It needs to be sent in. As for how long they will last before replacement, i don't know. A long time probably. I've only owned one for a few months so i can't be the judge on that. But my friend has had his for a few years and he uses it a lot. His is still working fine on the original battery.

Yes, you have to hold in the button. I don't see a way to replace the battery.

According to the information I have with my manual, the battery is not supposed to be replaced. The battery, with proper care, is designed to last quite awhile, but it depends on how much you use it. I hope that's helpful.

Yes, but you need to know electronics to replace it. You will need specialized tools to replace the battery

No. Its batteries are internal and rechargeable. I guess they can be replaced but would require disassembly. It also has a hand crank for emergency power.

Could this battery be found and replaced with a little bit of technical expertise?

If it was shipped to you in that state you can contact amazon to see if they will replace the battery.

Actually, you don't. The battery is rechargeable, but if it fails, just buy a new set. It would cost more to replace the battery.
