What happens after 7 months when the battery is dead? Where to buy a replacement of the battery and how much?

It takes 2- AAA batteries. The original 2 are provided with the product. In general getting any of the "Ultra" or "Ultra Advance" style batteries tend to work better for me so that's what I'll likely get to replace them. I purchased this for my husband for his iPad for Christmas. So far it works great, no issues with the batteries, I guess we'll see in a few more months.

Thanks. How many batteries? According to your experiences, do they last for 7 months as expected?

The Targus keyboard takes regular AAA batteries that can be purchased at most drug and grocery stores as well as Target and Radio Shack.

I would ask them for a replacement. Obviouslt a problem with the battery. i have found they are either great or duds.

I don't have a good answer to this. My only suggestions would be to a) leave it plugged in while using it (which doesn't even require the battery to be in it), b) email 3M to see about getting a free battery replacement, and/or c) buy a replacement battery. Hope this helps.

You Have to change the battery. Stored for a year without any charging? That is garbage now. Have to charge every 2 or 3 months..

It is possible to buy replacement (Panasonic branded) batteries for it, but the ecommerce site that sells them isn't Amazon, so I feel sort of weird pasting the URL here. If you take the battery out and Google image search for "Panasonic 700mah", you'll see the replacement battery and a site in the UK that sells it. Also, disassembling the thing to get to the battery is a pain. I found a disassembly instruction diagram on yet *another* site that sold no-name replacement batteries for it. That said, Amazon is currently showing a $20 price tag for this item. So, all said and done, it'd be nearly as cheap to just replace the whole thing and save yourself the hassle. FWIW, that's exactly what I'm doing. Factoring in shipping, getting a whole new unit is exactly the same price as having a replacement battery shipped in from the UK.

mine arrived with a nearly dead battery. I replaced it, and it's functioning well, and the new battery seems like it will last a while.

I think that you cannot buy any b/c no replacement exists (it can be the catch). The battery lasts less than one year. I had two toothbrush with the same results: batteries dead after a few months.

Buy a new one when you swap it out. If you can put in a new battery while it's open already, so much the better

I do not see any expiration date, but if the battery does not hold up well, then its time to replace it.

The battery has gone bad. You need to replace the large battery; then it will be fine. Battery lasts about 5 years.

If it dies within the first 30 days, Amazon will send you a replacement and pickup the dead set. If it dies after that, you contact Samsung and they send out a service technician to repair it right there in your home. You don't have to ship it any where!

If you have this old Nextbook 7 model and your warranty has expired then you might as well buy a new tablet because the battery is not replaceable. If you are somehow still under warranty then contact nextbook usa for a replacement tablet.

You need to send it in periodically to have them replace the battery. Last I knew it was $15 and they turn it around in 3 days. They told me batteries wear out about every two years.

When our battery stopped working, I tried unsuccessfully to get a new battery. When I contacted the manufacturer, they told me that they do not sell replacement batteries. We wound up having to buy a new monitor (of a different brand that has a better battery that can be replaced if needed). The manufacturer may have changed this since then (fall of 2012), so you might try contacting them. Good luck!

It is a built in Lithium battery. So, I'm assuming no way to replace it. They are asking me to assume the charge of shipping and send a $9.95 check for possible repairs because mine stopped working. That would probably be what you would need to do if yours needed a new battery. Since I've had mine less than 6 months I'm not a happy camper. Probably will not send it back. (This is their idea of a guarantee, I guess.)

Hi Matthew. I see where you are going with this. I don't see an actual date on the battery itself. This info may be part of a serial number or another code. I am finding that the replacement battery is not holding a full charge the way I think it should. My opinion is that replacing the battery is simply a temporary solution. Every once in a while I get a message that the battery has less than 5-minutes backup left. This is not right! When I am faced with having to replace it again, I would very likely buy the whole assembly new. Hope this helps.

I've had to replace mine in the past. Sometimes they just stop working. If it was within 1year of your purchase, they should send you a replacement at no charge.
