Can the battery be replaced?

Not that I know of--my husband had one of these before, and when the battery died he threw it out so I found another one on Amazon. He loves the amount of light it puts out. We've spent many a night at the campgrounds with flashlight at hand and enjoyed catching the coons in action.

yep. Go on the Dorcy site. They are listed there, but likely "out of stock". Those batteries don't last long--I have gone through several of them, and two of the spotlights, too. Am ready to toss them.

You can replace the battery yourself. C Crane has a pdf guide at their website. It took me 5 minutes to do it myself.

Yes the battery is replaceable, as long as you put the AA, rechargeable or not.

I don't think it can be replaced. There doesn't seem to be an opening. The batteries are replaceable.

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 can't say for sure. There are four small screws on the back. It's possible that you can get at the battery by removing them, but the instructions don't say anything about replacing the battery, so you would be on your own. Since the warranty is only 90 days, if the battery dies beyond that time, you have nothing to lose by trying.

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=

Have never had to replace. I would imagine you could do it with some difficulty, but it will probably be cheaper to throw it away and buy a new one. I think the quality of the battery is better than the rest of the unit

I don't think so, it's a non removable battery so replacing it is almost not possible

yes the battery can be replaced, and it is hard to open it up. I had to ask my husband how to do it.

No. It's battery is in built. But even after years of use, you can unscrew the side panel and replace it.

Yes the battery can be replaced. I'm not exactly sure which one it takes but it is a round one like a watch battery or old style hearing aid battery. Sorry not at home right now on the road.

The battery is replaceable if you can find a company who would still source such a battery. I found one online some years ago. There are about 7 screws that would be removed to open the bottom cover. Once the bottom was carefully opened, the battery would just unplug from a small connector on the main board. You could take that battery to a store specializing in rechargeable batteries to see if they can fashion a replacement. When the battery was new, the device would usually last through a whole day's normal use.

No you cannot change the battery. So buying a spare is of no use as you do not know which one to buy and how to change

There doesn't seem to be any way that an owner/user was intended to easily replace the battery. Having said that, I hadn't had to replace the battery so far. Its been my experience that most any battery can be replaced regardless of whether or not the manufacturer planned for that contingency. In this case, the base appears to be removable which "I assume" will give you access to the battery. Once you have the battery in hand, it becomes an Internet search to find and purchase a suitable replacement.

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.
