Can you replace the battery on this? I bought this last year and now it will not hold a charge at all.

I don't believe so. I had the same problem and bought a new one, but another brand. The batter does not last long at all and I find it ergonomically painful to use. I don't recommend this newer model. The older model they had lasted much longer and didn't hurt your wrist to use it, but you can no longer buy the older model.

Unfortunately we have had the same problem since I purchased this in August for my 7yr old. It does not hold a charge and it will not turn on. It has a defect but I have had a problem with returning it as they have not given me return auth. Next time I would have purchased it from Walmart so much easier to return things.

I don't think you can replace the battery. The cord plugs right into the base. For this price, you could just buy a new one every few years if you use it that much...

Try removing battery and replacing it. If still no charge, yes, replacing the battery was worth it for us after several years of hard use.

I think they've changed the design of the product. I own an older model and it is possible to replace batteries. I bought another one recently for my husband. There is no way to change the battery - hence the "120 Hour" designation in the label. After using it for 120 hours, you're done. Perhaps the offer of batteries is an artifact in Amazon.com related to the earlier model.

I have not had to replace the battery for the last two years. Since the price is so reasonable, I would purchase a new one instead of replace the battery. It is nor worthy replace the battery. I hope that help.

Not without a lot of effort. There is a metal flap in the bottom that can be bent open and the battery taken out. Good luck finding a replacement of that size and voltage.

I will not recommend you buy the battery. The one did not even hold as must charge as the useless battery it was meant to replace

Sorry, I've never tried to replace the battery, so I wouldn't know? I really don't use mine anymore and I'm looking to get rid of it. It's just collecting dust in my garage.

Hi na,the battery is built into the device therefore I do not believe removing and replacing it is an option. The charge does last a very long while however.

We haven't had to do that yet so I don't know. I purchased this for my son and he absolutely loves it and uses it all the time. He is now in Alaska so I can ask him how to change the battery - but I don't have an answer right now. Sorry

Don't assume you can get a new battery. I have had my radio for quite some time and put it away for emergency use. I recently found the battery a little corroded and won't hold a charge. Now, I can not find a replacement battery. I even went to a specialty shop with no help given. Anyone actually "know" where a replacement battery can be found?

Buy a new one when you swap it out. If you can put in a new battery while it's open already, so much the better

I am sorry, I had the same problem. I ended up throwing it away and ordering a new one! I did not see any way to open it and replace a battery.

The battery can be replaced. You can purchase a new battery from www.eledingsolar.com.

It is a built in Lithium battery. So, I'm assuming no way to replace it. They are asking me to assume the charge of shipping and send a $9.95 check for possible repairs because mine stopped working. That would probably be what you would need to do if yours needed a new battery. Since I've had mine less than 6 months I'm not a happy camper. Probably will not send it back. (This is their idea of a guarantee, I guess.)
