Can the battery be replaced by the consumer?

yes, either a new battery like what came with the unit or rechargable ni-cad batteries (AA). If you use ni-cads though, you can not place the headset on the charging cradle in the correct direction of the batterie may explode. you will have to reverse it. Hope this helps!

yes, I had to install batteries when I received , I don't have them in front of me now but one side headphones opens for batteries.

Yes it can be replaced by the consumer. The one side cover opens and the battery comes right out.

It's my understanding that the battery is proprietary to Sony, but once it is purchased from them, it is easy to install. No problem whatsoever.

Yes you can...the older models had to be returned to the manufacture but these new models offers this option to change out the batteries yourself

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

You are absolutely right.With technology advancing so rapidly, you generally don't want to keep a device for more than a couple of years.Still, it would be nice to have the option of replacing the battery should you want to do so.

No. The battery lasts very long, about a year. After that you can just change it by the new one.

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=

Could this battery be found and replaced with a little bit of technical expertise?

As far as I can tell, there is no way to replace the battery, however, the toothbrush does stop charging when it is full so that it doesn't over-charge and ruin the battery.

Sorry that I cannot be more help. I like the unit, but I do not know if the battery can be changed.

Replaceable, I believe it is a CR battery so they are fairly spendy to replace

The battery is rechargeable and have had it for a year and no loss in charge. I am not sure if it is replaceable at all.

Yes, the battery can be replaced. I did just that and bought a replacement here on Amazon (12V 5AH Rechargeable Sealed Lead Acid Battery-$15.00). Simple to do. Just remove the screws from the bottom plate, slide the old battery out, pull the wires off and vise versa to install. Took about 5 minutes

Yes, you can easily replace the battery.The sim card needs to be micro size. If the one you already have is bigger, there are tools that you can use to cut it.Amazon sells those cutters too.
