$129 charge to replace the batteries and service the unit, includes a six month warranty. Thank you for your patronage.

I'm sorry to say I have tried a number of these type of 600mAh batteries with no success in getting them to charge properly.None of them lasted in my Syma X1 quad copter beyond the first use. After that they would not charge adequately.I finally ordered the MaxSale 5 x Upgraded 25C 3.7V 380MAH Battery and a set of red JST connectors and soldered them in parallel to the current white connectors.I can now use them on my Syma quad and my Hubsan quad. I can also charge them with either charger.I hope this helps save you wasted time and money.

Hmmm, I think I've recharged my batt's 14-16 times each... and they seem to be producing about the same flight times so far. Don't know how many cycles on average the batteries should last, but I would think they would/should provide good performance up to about 35-40 cycles ("educated guess"). Make sure the battery has cooled down to ambient temperature before recharging; helps them last longer. Also... try not to operate plane at full throttle for more than say ten seconds at a time. High long current drains are hard on a battery. Sorry I can't give more specific info. Hope this helps somewhat. Chris

These batteries can not provide the current needed by most R/C planes and cars -- they'll make them work (once you add a proper plug), but the performance will be poor.Get the correct batteries -- they don't really cost more than this does, but will perform a lot better.

I seem to recall that it used 8 AA batteries. This transmitter is a battery cannible. So I'd think about finding some rechargable AA cells for it ASAP. I had to return my SpyHawk before even one flight due to a defective (stuck) left transmitter stick. Good luck. - Rob

Replacement batteries do not appear to be available. You might communicate with the manufacturer directly, but since these units are quite inexpensive, you might be money ahead to just buy a new one. Sorry.

Sadly I can tell you there are no parts available from Amazon or the Fulfillment Center for these quad copters. You can find some blades that are about the same on Xheli.com and the batteries are also compatible with these quads. That is all I have been able to find. If your main board quits on you you are out of luck. No place to get a replacement. Hope this helped you some. If you need arms and motors you can adapt some from quad copters from another website (Bangood.com) which is in China. Other than that. It is hard to find any direct replacement parts for these copters. Hope this will help you.

It's rechargeable, so I can't remember if you can replace the batteries or not. It charges in the base.

I really do not understand the question. Are you asking how come your batteries will not take a charge the way they use to? Or How come your flight times are shorter? I balance charge my batteries on the way out. I put them in "storage" if I am not going to use them for a while.

Well, let's say not easily replaceable. I believe if you want to disassemble you could replace, but I'm going on 40 flights and it's still going strong and flying perfectly, even after some unsavory crashes! Original battery is still perfect!

I did not need to replace the batteries. You just need to switch it on from the switch below the plane (to "PLAY" mode) and it should work fine.

Yes of course. FyI the eflight batteries are not the best batteries there are after market batteries that are cheaper and provide longer flight times than the eflight batteries oh and an additional fyi just Bc you have more batteries and can charge many at the same time with this device and its a nice conveinence you cannot fly back to back flights with electric helicopters you will fry the engine! Also frying the engine may or may not be a big deal depending on if you don't mind spending the $10.00 or $100.00 engine replacement and of course you gotta take the whole thing apart to replace the engine.....I did all that uour welcome Yes of course.

There should be no problems with putting a new fully charged battery in helicopter and flying it again , that being said make sure the battery that you are putting in the helicopter is good . I had bough extra batteries for mine and found two out of five to be defective

Actually, you don't. The battery is rechargeable, but if it fails, just buy a new set. It would cost more to replace the battery.

They are not rechargeable. You have to take the center two pieces apart take out the piece in the center out and use a small Phillips head screwdriver to remove the battery cover to replace them.

You can purchase a new rechargable battery through Amazon. As for replacement parts they can be purchased from Shark at very high prices. Groupon recently offered a reconditioned unit. It is best to purchase a new unit.

I use regular replaceable batteries and it has a little button you push to check them. But I don't see why you cant use rechargeable.
