Not difficult as long as you have a helper or something to prop up the replacement as you screw it into place.

No, and why would you do that? Very easy to switch out old ones. Took less that 15min for all 12 to replace.

Very easy, just two wires to unclip on existing battery and reclip on same terminals on new battery and replace in box.

I just watched a video on youtube that answered this question. It seems really easy, there is an underpanel that allows for easy upgrade. Check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55qZwSqOIkk

I matched this model exactly with the one I was replacing so I couldn't speak to a different chain/rail. I do know that this one worked beautifully as a swap for the old one. The only thing I had to do was unhook the lead wires, attach the new one in the same bolt slots as my old unit (including the same rail and chain as the old unit) and turn it on. After reprogramming the existing wall and wireless controllers it worked good as new. I didn't have to change out sensors, chain, rail, wall units, wiring or remotes. I could have even used the same bolts to attach the new unit. It has been working great for two weeks now & I don't anticipate any problems.

I replaced my 3 bolt Badger with the 3 bolt Waste King, but I ended up having to take all the old hardware out, and could have EASILY used the Easy Mount, if I did it again, I'd go Easy Mount, I think it would be more secure, and...you know....easier.

I replaced an existing 16 year old InSinkErator Badger with identical unit. No other accessories were necessary for installation.

Mine installed fine on an insinkerators sold at home depot. They could check to see if the insinkerators are interchangeable wit badger and have there answer. My opinion is they are. And that would mean if I'm correct your answer would be yes. Hope this helps.

You should be able to do it. Makes sure it is the same type with the one you got. Sometime there is add on with the new one.

I replaced my manual 700 with the digital 700. Wiring changes were necessary but diagrams were easy to follow. Did it myself. Easy!

Actually very easy. Much easier than replacing the battery in my wife's Murano. Mine is a 2010 not sure about the other years but there are videos on you tube that will give you a good idea what is required.

Yes, I have one in my 30S. Guys great with no modification needed. Five minutes to switch it out.

Yes! It's super easy. We actually just did this last month. It's one simple piece you swap out. The nice thing is you can easily switch it back to propane! The part was less than $25.

It is "possible" to replace the battery. It would involve disassembly of the unit and plugging in the new pack. By the way, the unit is purported to be waterproof to 5 feet. I would not immerse the unit in fluid of ANY depth. It is not at all waterproof. Water will enter the unit through the microphone and set up corrosion that will destroy the innards very quickly. ( I had this happen to me)

If it's for the correct model, yes. I will say that changing the whole unit is really easy to swap out, so maybe that would be the best way to go, especially if you're paying for the whole unit.

Yes its very easy. I installed mine and it took 10 min. It was my first time ever for changing hardware.
