The battery is a 18650, they are on amazon, just one thing some of the batteries have a pcb which makes it bigger, and will not fit, ive used the 3.7v deep blue 5000 mah and they work 2 for five i believe. And it should stop holding a good or normal charge, maybe wont charge at all, but there is an amount of recharge cycles that the company should have recommended.

Try charging the battery before buying a new battery. Mine needed replacing because the charge wouldn't last for more than 15min.

If you can't find one looking on the internet, I have no idea how to find a new battery. I only have one and had hoped to purchase another, but haven't looked for one. I did purchase my original weed eater at Lowe's. Maybe you can check with them.

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.

Contact the company. Battery sounds defective. They promptly sent me a replacement when I told them. Replacement battery has been flawless for 1.5 yrs. NO complaints.See my review for details:http://www.amazon.com/review/RUZWUM3ZAKBZ4/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00B2RS4VW

battery is shot. The more you use it the less time it will last. Start looking on ebay or amazon for a replacement battery should cost 20-25 bucjs

I'd check the numbers on the battery and see if any Ebay seller might have replacements. Or check on the net for phone batteries. Call ATT (it's their phone) and have them order the batteries.

Bring the burned out battery to any electronics store and just let the sales rep know that that one is burnt out and that you want the same battery. The battery on my model is still good.

Ok for those of you who can use a Phillips screwdriver and an Allan wrench. Remove the screen mesh and unscrew the speaker. You must do this to get to your battery. Once you see the battery unplug it and take it to Radio Shack. They carry the same battery there. It's usually by the counter. They also use this style of battery for power wheels. Cost is about $24.99. Instalation was a snap cause it's the same style and size, not to mention voltages. My original battery lasted for 3 years and I have been using the replacement kne for 2. It's like changing a car battery. Do it your self.

Good luck finding a replacement battery. Mine never worked, so I put in the trash. Customer service is a Joke!

Here's a tip from a user that successfully replaced the battery for this unit.MediaBaron says:I had one of the older non-replaceable battery models. I was able to carefully tap a razor blade around the seam to separate the top and bottom half, replaced the batteries and put it back together using a hot glue gun so it could be easily be taken apart again. This far from an approved process but if you're going to throw it away anyway give it a shot. I gave it away to someone who's wife was going through chemo and bought the model with the replaceable battery before they were discontinued. It wasn't pretty after the hot glue but it worked.

I believe I ran across a YT vid that showed somone replacing the battery, its just not a direct replacement swsp as it wasnt meant to be swapped out like in a cell phone or similar. Look for the vid(s) on YT and im sure you can get directed to where they got a replacement battery...best of luck

I went to a local BatteriesPlus store. They were incredibly helpful, and I know customer service and future attention to my needs will be better than if I bought the batteries online. Remember, batteries have a limited life-span and will need to be replaced. Buy them somewhere you can trust for reliable and consistent attention in the future.

Most OEMs don't suggest replacing the battery (for liability reasons), but I've opened several brands of packs like this and would be comfortable doing that (it's about like changing a car battery). Some places like batteryspec.com have researched all makes of these and matched batteries that will fit in them. Getting just the battery is ~1/2 the price of a new unit, so if that's the only problem then nothing is stopping you from doing that.

When you take out your old battery, it has a replace with number in there. You can call Anker customer care and give that number and they will find you the replacement. All I can say is, they have replacements for all products so calling them and checking with them is the best. I have a customer care number and a lady's name who gave me the best advice. You can call her and order the right replacement. All I would say, this piece is best for its price. gives 2-3 hours of back up. Let me know if you have any more questions.

The same thing happed to me. I replace the batter (which wasn't cheap) and it worked for about a week then died. Not sure that it can be replaced.

Philips Avent no longer carries the replacement battery for the parent unit. I was able to take the existing battery to Batteries Plus Bulbs and pay $10 for them to rebuild it with new batteries with the technician on site. That price included the cost of the batteries. It also came with a one year warranty on the battery. It took less than 10 minutes for him to do it and now my parent unit works perfectly.
