If I can't change the battery myself, where would I get it changed?

I believe you can change the battery. If it's difficult for you, maybe a friend or family member can help? I have not had to replace my battery, but if I remember correctly, you just use a small Phillips screwdriver, take the back off, & replace the battery with a new CR2032 3V battery.

It is simple to replace the battery. You have to unscrew the battery cover, take the old battery out, replace the battery with the same type battery and then replace the battery cover.

Hi Toni! You don't need to change the battery if it is not broken. It will automatically charge itself once placed in the base/transmitter. In case you want to change the battery, you can press the "PUSH" button on the left housing to open the battery compartment lid. -Anthony

I never ordered a replacement, however, you can probably contact the seller or take the battery out and get the specifics and look it up.

It is not designed for the owner to replace the battery, however if you are handy you can open it up and replace the battery, it's soldered in so you should be comfortable with a soldering iron.

There is a small Slot at the top of the casing that is easy to open with a small blade or screw driver or in fact, I can open it with my finger nail. Once opened you simply take out the small button battery and replace it, then simply snap the top of the casing shut. There is also a little diagram in the instructions explaining how to change the battery.

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

I would call the company of the device in which you are replacing the batteries. I would not mess around without checking first because you could destroy the device. You might want to call a place like Batteries Plus in case they could guide you. Good luck.

I believe the packaging said that it never needs replacing. I don't see any place to replace the battery.

You can replace the battery yourself. C Crane has a pdf guide at their website. It took me 5 minutes to do it myself.

There are some guides online to tell you how to replace the battery. It involved de-soldering and soldering, so really only do-able for advanced DIYers. I tried and failed (but learned a lot about soldering on the way, so the $15 I invested was not completely wasted). Of course doing so will also void any warranty, so it's really only something that you will want to attempt if you have nothing to lose.

Unless there has been a change, not from PSX. You may be able find a replacement battery someplace else. Since the battery is the major cost item in the unit it would probably not be cost effective to do so. Also, it is very cramped inside the unit so finding a battery that would fit would be difficult.

According to the manufacturer it is not, it's called planned obsolescence. They don't want you to change it because you are not going to buy a new one and it's bad for the business.Technically it is possible to change it, spare batteries are available on Amazon and elsewhere and you will need to know how to use a soldering iron.As one guy with a bloody bandage on his finder was demonstrating how it was done on YouTube, "It is possible, but it requires a bit of skill" he said.
