This would be my first solar powered figure, are the batteries expensive or hard to find? R they easily replaced or do u need a manual &amp; tool set?

The batteries are AA and you just need a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw. It took a total of 5 mins to replace both of my turtles. I hope this information helps...

YOU need Batteries. They DO Last Long and it's a GREAT Toy! It will Be Liked a LOT. A very GOOD Toy to Have FUN and Enjoy for a LONG Time.

Easy is relative. I'll just add to others' comments here by stressing how important it is to use the right screwdriver -- a small Phillips, in very good shape. I don't know what number. All 12 base screws have to come out, and three more for the battery. This is not where to cowboy it up with a "good enough" tool. If it's not in good shape, try again tomorrow after a trip to the cheap tool joint of your choice.

There is no easy access to replace the batteries. But, as with all devices and tools that use lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries, they are fantastic for a couple a thousand cycles of charging, minimum. That would mean you can charge them three times a say for several years without a problem. I can't see anyone using them that much. I hope the information helps.

I don't think the battery is replaceable. In the manual it says it can be charged directly with a solar panel 20 watts and lower. however I have a 15 watt panel hooked up to it and the charging light does indeed come on indicating its charging, but It never seems to charge at all. Its been charging that way for over a week and the battery meter still says its almost empty. I have tested the solar panel with a multi tester and I was getting over 20 volts and about 700 miliamps in the sun, so I know power is getting into the powerpack... It appears to charge fine via the ac wall plug. I bought this with the intention of charging it via the sun and I have seen some bundles with this powerpack and a solar panel so it must work. Maybe I just have a defective one...

The solar panel needs a good charge controller and battery. If you have that covered, I would say it could run that gear easily.

You can buy new batteries (these are recharged by the sun though and you won't have to very often!) We have had the lights out for 3 months or so. They come with batteries. They are solar powered. The batteries get power from the sun. They do wear out eventually (as we have had similar lights) but these are nice looking and are working fine with no battery changes. Hope that helps. We live in a sunny city in CA. I know hard to understand: batteries and rechargeable but no worries about frequent changes at all. None so far. They did come with batteries.

no instructions, the polarity should be marked though and specs should be sticker on back of panel. Connectors can be purchased online (a bit pricey $15) good if you plan on moving it alot. As for installation/operations you'll need to have some knowledge in electricity to figure out what it can run by itself and or you'll need a charge regulator, deep cycle battery (higher Amp Hours the better) and inverter ( a P.S.W.I. = pure sine wave inverter ) ive been told is safest/better than M.S.W.I. = modified sine wave inverter. And whatever your running shouldnt pull more than 30% of the battery system charge. theres a formula for it, cant remember off top of my head. you can also google some solar forums, join, browse and asks questions there about set-ups/applications or google DIY systems on youtube and wing it. good luck and i hope i helped direct you in some direction that can inform you better than i can about solar power applications.

I have owned several Phillips razors for many years, I am 82 years young. They are very reliable razors and each one of them lasted a long time. I let the razors battery run completely down before recharging, this seems to make them last longer. I only have two concerns, one is that if the razor does eventually go dead it does not have a replaceable battery. You have to buy a new razor. The other is that to replace the cutters on the new model razor, that I purchased, you cannot buy individual cutters as was the case with earlier models, you have to buy the complete head assembly. I hunted all over my city for a replacement head and finally had to get one from the internet. They are costly. I have owned several Phillips razors for many years, I am 82 years young.

The tools that come with kit are enough... I looked up in YouTube how to replace battery... just take your time get a feel for how the parts come apart once inside replacement is a breeze.. I always take a pic as to how everything is arranged just in case a get confused I will have a reference.

The calculator is clearly solar AND battery powered.1) Remove the four small screws on the back.2) Gently pry off the back cover (there are tabs that hold it in place).3) Replace the CR2025 battery.NOTE: A CR2032 can be wedged into the slot and work fine, but it'll be difficult to remove later.

I recommend a battery powered one. I managed to do a lot of it without, but it was very difficult that way.

Johnny B G is correct. You should just buy the basic one for $35 if it works then great if it is just ok then next time upgrade. It is just like my Phillips electric razors, there are many price levels but they all do basically the same thing, shave my face. I could pay $30 for a basic or $200 for a fancy one with a cleaner and clock (really a clock). I go with the basic everytime because the blades are about $28 to replace so I have a lot of old razors. Hope this helps, and yes Phillips should let you replace the batteries rather than toss the old unit when the batteries fail.

All of the machines in the kit are all 'liners' tey are actually shipping pretty decent machines I havet had one over heat yet and i have run each for long hours without issue . Jst sandpaper down the spring a little and run the machie ne at4.5-5 volts for shader or spen $5 on lighter spings

yep. Go on the Dorcy site. They are listed there, but likely "out of stock". Those batteries don't last long--I have gone through several of them, and two of the spotlights, too. Am ready to toss them.

I was not aware of one and I hooked it up without breaking it.If you have a panel in the sun however, I would think that hooking up the batteries and any accessories first would be the right thing to do, followed by the panels connection

You'll need to buy a battery and charger. $100 for the battery and the charger is around $50 or so. I'm a carpenter and all my cordless power tools are majors. That's why I wasn't concerned that it didn't come with a battery. If your looking to buy a cordless power tool I would buy a 2 piece majors drill and driver kit. You'll get a charger 2 batteries and a drill and impact driver for around $299. If you do the math your basically getting the drills almost for free. I love my seedeater. It really does run for a good 40 mins. Hope this helped.
