Can the battery be changed with commercially available replacement or is it a specialty battery only from cyclops?

yes its very easy and it uses two smaller 6 volt batteries rather than one large 12 volt.

You can change it yourself! Just open the back cover w a coin, and the battery is one you can get at a drugstore, Walmart, or target

I don't believe the battery is replaceable. I've had the prior version of this one for over 23 years and the battery still runs. Hope that helps.

No, it's not considered user replaceable. Though here is a video of someone taking it apart, and he shows how you would replace the battery if you're adventurous and careful, and if batteries are available: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI1Lm_-1djY&mode=related&search=

You cannot replace the rechargeable lithium battery that comes w/ the unit, however, the battery capacity and life span will hold more than enough charges to satisfy even the most active users. Thank you. IZZO Golf

I checked in on this and no you can't change the battery. It is welded to the panel and the flashlight.

I don't know if you can replace the battery yourself. The battery has a separate warranty which is prorated by month of a one year term. The Power Generator has a different 30 day replacement warranty and a 2-12 month repair warranty. I have had this item for almost a year and it has worked extremely well for me jump starting dead batteries, running a 12 volt air compressor to inflate tires, powering my CPAP machine over several nights of camping with out recharging and running my laptop computer via the AC power inverter.

I have never replaced it, so I don't know. I have had good luck on E bay getting new small rechargeable batteries at a very low price. Try there..........

The one I bought came with a battery in plastic, and you can find replacements at a pharmacy or supermarket. No special ordering required.

The block rocker battery IS consumer replacebale. Replacing the battery doesn't involve removing key components in the unit. Anybody can replace this battery! If I can do it anybody can. Ion certified technicians don't even exist and it took me 5 trys to get through to customer service. Ion wanted to charge an outrageous price for the battery ($100). I bought mine on ebay for half the price.

No the rechargeable battery is not removable or replaceable, maybe at the factory,had many problems with genesis sent two back, crimson trace is the way to go.

I really don't know but I searched around and found a website that told me what ones I could substitute. I wish I remember what it was but I don't. Just search something like interchangeable batteries and maybe one will show 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.

Yes it can be replaced by the consumer. The one side cover opens and the battery comes right out.

I've not seen a case - and unclear why one would be needed - just pack in a backpack or travel bag - they seem quite tough in construction. However, the battery...... not so great - life span for mine was less than one year. Cyclops does NOT sell the replacement but, guides you to another website for replacement purchase. Score 1 out of 5.

Yes battery is replaceable. Amazon does not sell the replaceable battery you can purchase them through the company who makes them through their web sight or customer service. Not trying to take business away from Amazon but they do not sell just batteries. (I determined that after a few months of looking almost everywhere on there site). And for as how long the charge lasts, I always recharge after all but a short use. But I've had to use awhile before and I no it lasts at least a couple hours with on and off use. I have max millionIII spot/flood. As for cost I bought one a couple of months ago, I can't remember price, but it was under 20 shipping included. Yes battery is replaceable.

It is a lithium battery, like the one in your cellphone. Don't know if they are easily replaceable.
