I received the BG2040 as a gift. It works great - that is when it holds a charge. Is the battery replaceable?

I found this under the section for the series 7100 shaver. I believe the 7100 uses a custom shaped Lithium-ion battery made for this one shaver only. At two full charges per week, the battery will typically last 5 to 10 years. Unfortunately, the warranty period is only a fraction of that, so good luck.

the battery is not replaceable. make sure you refer to you're owners manual. mine had the same problem initially. its important to let it run dead a few times. it will explain everything further in manual.

No, the battery is not replaceable. Your issue seems like a fluke though, so I just wanted to point out that having my old trimmer for years and with this newer one so far, I have had no battery issues. I even leave them plugged in all the time. Sorry for your luck.

the Eneloops would not fit in the battery compartment of mine and I had to use a dremel creatively. Additionally, I had to solder the contacts onto the batteries. My unit was 2010 and it was more difficult to service than indicated in the ifixit article.

I havent had any issues with my battery and ive had it since september of 2012. I suspect the battery issues are probably more due to over charging, im traveling a lot so i dont have a lot of time to leave it on the charger too long. Anyway, to answer your question, I myself dont have the answer but I did a search on it and found this. www.fixya.com/support/t13198485-philips_norelco_bg2040_change_battery it has a bunch of useful information. looks like you can change it but youre going to have to do some soldering. sounds fun.

When you return it to it's charger/cradle,make sure the green light on the razor comes on and blinks.My son kept just hanging it up without the connection and when I went to use it it was very low so I taught him to make sure it was charging when returned to it's cradle.I hope this helps.

Yes, the battery can be replaced, took me about an hour. No soldering is required but you do have to disassemble the shaver by removing 6 screws and the chrome pieces. The battery is two AAA NIMH cells and I replaced them with Sanyo Eneloop AAA cells, a far superior battery. The original batteries were cheap junk and didn't last long. Although the original batteries were soldered in, you don't need to solder the replacement batteries, just pressure contact on the terminals works fine.

Unfortunately the battery is not replaceable unless you take the unit apart yourself. There's a couple of youtube videos discussing this but it may be more trouble than it is worth. The sides of the unit are glued together and need to be heated to be taken apart.

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 battery is not replaceable. I bought mine online from DazzlePro when they had it on sale and it's worth it. The battery holds a charge for a couple weeks without charging. That's using it everyday twice a day (sometimes 3). I don't know what kind of battery it has but I only charge it when it's low. As a side note, though, DazzlePro is currently having a BOGO sale on this toothbrush for $59. Great for Christmas gifts :-)

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

The battery is rechargeable, it comes with the collar. As far a replacing a defective battery, I am not certain. Hope this helps.

Yes, the battery can be replaced. Remove the two screws on the top, then unplug the black top from the battery pack. The battery pack is held on with some clear silicone, so you have to pry it off with a putty knife or some other tool that is thin and flat. I don't recall if it had three or four rechargeable batteries within a rubberized outer covering. I purchased one at Fry's Electronics for around $14. Very easy to replace. Wayne

Yes, but you have to go on line to find the replacement. B&N no longer has them. get the model number off the battery and go to Google. I can't remember the web site where I got mine, but they didn't cost all that much. And there was a video on how to remove and replace the battery. the one I got is : Model # CS-BNR005SL Good Luck Bobbie B

It has accumulated battery inside. You can charge it with micro usb cord. I think the battery can't be replaced.

No, the rechargeable battery inside is not replaceable. I use mine almost every day for over 8 months without any change in battery life. If you're worried about the battery not being able to hold a charge in a few years, then you may want to contact the manufacture to see if they offer a battery replacement service.

The battery is not replaceable, it charges during the daylight with the solar cell on top.Mine has been working great for about 2 years.

I don't think it can be replaced. The battery is recharged when it is connected to a USB cable and recharger. I use the cable which came with my cell phone.

No you can not replace the battery it is internal. It does have the option to connect an audio cord to it so that when the batter no longer works it is still functional.

Sorry I'm having trouble with the double negative, i.e. "no it does not have a replaceable battery". Just to clarify, is the battery replacable? (yes/no)

This is a follow up from my earlier response. MicroSolar informs me that the battery is replaceable.

Sorry Brian I'm not sure if the battery is replaceable as mine is still working OK. There is however a battery type engraved on the back as a CR 2025 so I'm guessing that maybe it is replaceable. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I've had a couple of these and even when new I don't get more than an hour out of a charge. Currently it's about 30-45 minutes. I've never found the batteries to replace the original and my belief is they aren't replaceable. I just buy another WLB26B since they are relatively cheap and I like them because of the light output.
