Is it worth getting an extra battery and if so what kind? Is the battery easily removable and replaceable?

Worth getting extra battery. Replacing them is easy. The kind of battery should be listed in the product description.

Arlene...I actually returned this camera as it underperformed for me...in fact I didn't like it at all!

My bloggie has not required an extra battery. It holds a long charge when off. I have to recharge mine about every weeks.

The battery is easily removable and replaceable, but it should not be necessary to get another battery unless you are planning on using your Bloggie a lot. I contemplated getting one because I use it a few times a week...but charging on down time (while I upload to YouTube for example) saved me from having to get another battery. Good luck!

I havent even known that it requires an extra battery or I can add one.I use it quite a bit and it works fine...It is a very good camera for little movies of simple things like babies or a little recording you need to upload. Its Photos are useless and the videos are not high quality for making into high quality movies. SImple Youtube or Picasa uploads they are great... quick and fun.Hope that helps.

I bought two extra generic batteries. Occasionally the camera prompts me stating that the battery will not work because it is not a downy product. If I give the blogging a light smack, insert a different battery, or even take the battery out and reinvest it the prompt doesn't appear and I can use the camcorder.

No, this battery is NON replaceable, unless your really lucky.. You can take it apart and remove the battery but you can't find the replacement for it anywhere. I took the one I have to a batteries plus store and they had never even seen that type of battery before. Even a google search brings up some asian website that would cost way too much for it. It's some type of proprietary battery UNIDEN used for this monitor.

Only by opening the case, so it can be replaced if you are comfortable doing that. However, you would not just carry a spare battery for extra charge on a trip.

I bought the extra battery. The original sent with the Birb Elite package lasts about 65% of the time the after market one on amazon does. I charge both and have the spare ready for when either dies. Its little cost compared to missing a video or great picture shorts that come once in a life time. When only taking 16 mp pictures the battery goes forever. When on Wide angle video I get about 3 plus hours on the packaged battery and almost 4.5 on the aftermarket.

The battery is replaceable contrary to what the other commenter said. I have been using one of these for 4 years and replaced the battery 1 year ago. You just open the bottom compartment (bottom if using it vertically), slide the battery out, disconnect the two wires, slide the replacement, reattach the wires and you are good to go.

The battery is not easily replaceable -- you need to remove the back cover to access it. That isn't too difficult, because the laptop uses standard torx T5 screws. Still, its not simple.However, I've found the battery lasts nearly 6 hours unplugged for typical web browsing, which is good. Also, I've had the computer ~4 months and the battery life hasn't gotten any worse.

Unfortunately the battery is not replaceable unless you take the unit apart yourself. There's a couple of youtube videos discussing this but it may be more trouble than it is worth. The sides of the unit are glued together and need to be heated to be taken apart.

you can remove and replace batterys great idea!I was considered the the same thing as we'll.here are the isues I have run into so far . Extra battery's expensive. Extra batterys are heavy. And you still have to transport the trey and charge eventually too

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

It does have a replaceable battery. There are four tiny phillips screws on the back and it clearly says "CR 2032 Battery", which is easy to get at any drug store. If you want it to stay waterproof, you'll need to be very careful about the seal. It might be worthwhile to have a jeweler replace it. Probably won't charge more than $5 or so.

As far as I know, the battery can't be replaced. It's good for about 6 months.... hope this helps.............

The battery is not removable. I mean you can break into it and see if you can get to the battery but the build is not intended for that.

It has it's own rechargeable battery included. You flick a switch on the back, unplug it and you are good to go. I used it for about thee hours this weekend at moderately high volume for three hours before the battery gave out. The battery is not removable.

Mine came with the battery as well. There is a removable battery so if you want a backup it is possible.

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

The battery is not replaceable. I bought mine online from DazzlePro when they had it on sale and it's worth it. The battery holds a charge for a couple weeks without charging. That's using it everyday twice a day (sometimes 3). I don't know what kind of battery it has but I only charge it when it's low. As a side note, though, DazzlePro is currently having a BOGO sale on this toothbrush for $59. Great for Christmas gifts :-)
