Can you have your batteries stolen? Would we need to carry extra batteries at all times?

A very small screw driver can open the bottom port where the batteries are. However, it's a hobby size screwdriver and not common. Also, I don't think it's easy to know that the battery is that accessible behind the latch.

Only by opening the case, so it can be replaced if you are comfortable doing that. However, you would not just carry a spare battery for extra charge on a trip.

Yes. I've carried it many of times. Just make sure its charged and you can prove its a charger in case you get asked about it. As with cell phones, If it doesn't turn on or charge your phone they may take it due to the possibility of it containing explosive. Welcome to the new world we live in.

I too, also lost my keys...I called around to locksmiths and very few would even touch it--thinking that it was stolen! The only locksmith I found that would even try to open it wanted to charge me more than what I purchased the safe for to begin with. I just had to buy a new safe and be more careful with watching my battery light and NOT losing my keys! I had a friend use a "saw-zaw" to cut into it (as the metal on the top and bottom is very thin).

Hey Chris, not that I've seen. You can't buy extra batteries and replace on the go either. The casing for the camera is completely closed.

I've had mine almost a year and haven't had to change the batteries yet. Thinking about getting another!

Personally I would ever leave any battery in unattended or just for discharge purposes. I was always told it is not safe to do so.

You more than likely wont have to change the batteries for a while... But if you do, they're AA, put on your ninja shoes... Tip-toe through your house while everyone's asleep, sneak into the living room..... Throw in one of those fancy floor rolls you see spies do in the movies... Then, wait till your cat walks out of the room because you're acting a fool, grab the remote control, pop open that sucker and steal those effin batteries.. Don't forget to swap the dead batteries... No one will ever know what happened and you will be back to taking selfies in your bedroom in no time at all.. Hope this helped lol

I have not had to change the battery yet. If you have a Batteries Plus in your area, I would suggest you take it there just to get their advice. That is what I will do.

I live in the Dallas, Texas area and the batteries are quite common ( I guess we have enough gun owners here)So It might be the city you live in.. not sure, But I have never had a problem.

No they do not, but the batteries will last for several months. I access them several times a day checking on my property and they last around 5 months without any problem. If you leave them on all the time the batteries won't last near as long.

Yes there is a battery backup!!! You might have to put the battery's in it.

I have never had the occasion to need a battery replacement; did you save all literature ( the muliti-folder) that originally came with the unit was very helpful; take care, "A"!

No, you do not have to buy batteries. They are all ready to go. There is a little pull tab that like activates them.

Hi Daniel.. I did not buy an extra battery for this unit. I did purchase 2 units and normally when I shoot outside I use only one light as a fill light and use reflectors. If one battery does not last long enough, I just simply use the battery in the second unit. So far I haven't needed more than just the one battery. I'm sure replacement or additional batteries are available. Thanks for your question....

No. Just put 2 AAA batteries and you're good to go. Sorry for my delayed response.
