Is the battery replaceable? I know it can be recharged.

Hello, according to the manual "Battery should only be removed when trimmer is to be discarded. Do not attempt to replace battery. Insulate battery ends by covering with tape and/or place battery in a small plastic bag."

It's not replaceable, but offsetting that it seems to have good life.I've owned mine for about 1 year. I frequently travel for work, and for trips less than 5 days I charge this (and my Bosch electric for the rest of my face) and leave both charging cords at home. Even at home, I typically plug them in to recharge only once a week - that's a "best practice" that'll keep your batteries lasting longer regardless.Over time, by nature of Lithium Ion batteries, that charge life will degrade slowly over time - but they've built in enough capacity here to ensure long life.That may offset your concern about the battery being non-replaceable.

It doesn't look like the battery can be replaced. I had mine for a couple of months and it holds it's charge very well. A simple plug to wall charger or computer with its USB cable and it charges with no problems. It holds a pretty good charge for couple of days-depending how much u listen.

Yes, the rechargeable batteries are replaceable. It's a NI-MH battery pack with a connector as is used in cordless phones.

The battery is built in. Probably a lithium ion cell. Don't know if it's replaceable or not. Mine came fully charged. I've been using it for several months and haven't found it necessary to charge it yet. Winter up here in Minnesota will more than likely change that situation!

Unfortunately no, it is not rechargable. Look at it like a modern day boom box. Batteries in, batteries out.

You might be able to. Unscrew the sides and if the rechargeable battery isn't soldered in, it might be replaceable.

Yes, the battery is replaceable. Its the same as a fairly common cell phone batt. The owners manual gives instructions.

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.

Yes, the battery is rechargeable but replaceable and can be purchased as a separate item.

I have had this for a couple of months now. Yes the battery is replaceable and it is actually a very thin cellphone like battery in the back of the handset. It charges when you set it on the base. The base plugs into the wall.

No it's not replaceable but the battery won't stop holding a charge for many many years. By that time you will have moved on. Also It has an internal overload shut off so you won't fry the battery.

Yes, it is rechargeable and the charge seems to last up to 5 hours of constant use or days of little use. I was really surprised at how long the charge lasted

Yes, the battery can be replaced. Remove the two screws on the top, then unplug the black top from the battery pack. The battery pack is held on with some clear silicone, so you have to pry it off with a putty knife or some other tool that is thin and flat. I don't recall if it had three or four rechargeable batteries within a rubberized outer covering. I purchased one at Fry's Electronics for around $14. Very easy to replace. Wayne

No it's not a replaceable battery. I bought this product and the battery stopped working in less than 60 day with minimal use. It was replaced and the same thing happened with the newer product. I had not used either product more than 5 times. After contacting the seller they would not accept a return or fix the product, because I had just reached the ninety day threshold of no money back or returns. It is a piece of garbage!!!

I don't think it can be replaced. There doesn't seem to be an opening. The batteries are replaceable.

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

the battery is not designed to be replaceable. I have read that some people have opened the back and found that the battery is soldered in.
