can you change the battery yourself?

The battery on the chest strap is very easy to change (not that I've had to do yet though). The watch has 4 screws on the back to access the battery the way many traditional watches do. If you don't want to do it yourself most jewelers that sell the batteries will change them for free or for a nominal fee.

Yes, but the battery doesn't need changed. The display is not dim like it says it would be if it needed changed. I got a new one, so do you know where I can find amazons return policy?

Replacing the chest strap cell is a snap. The watch's cell is another matter. I have done this several times but it takes 3 hands and a lot of fiddling with a loupe and the right jeweler's tools. Maybe better to take it to a jeweler.

I haven't had to change the battery yet, but it has 4 small screws on the back,so I'm pretty sure that it is replaceable by the owner.

Instruction book shows how to replace battery in belt but recommends taking wrist monitor to local retailer or jeweler to replace battery. The back of watch comes off but may need jewelers tools to place new battery.

Yes on the chest strap and one can only assume yes on the watch. I did not pay attention to the watch, but the spot on the chest strap is obvious. It worked right at the box and you can shut off after you're done working out to preserve battery life.

Both the Chest strap sesor and the wrist monitor take CR2032 lithium batteries. You can easily change the chest strap battery yourself and the only tool you need is a coin. While you can replace the wrist monitor battery yourself by using a small philips screwdriver; however, the manual recommends that you have someone at the store where you purchase your batteries do this for you. They will usually do this for free.

Yes, but you will have to crack it open to change it. Very light technical knowlodge required. You can find lots of tutorial and videos showing you how to open it for many reasons, then, you will eventually see how to change the battery. It´s fairly easy and simple, it´s not Apple style inside.

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

I haven't yet had the need to replace the battery. I did however take a look at it yesterday as I was also curious and the only thing I can think of is using a straight screwdriver on the two screws (assuming they're screws) on the face of the device. You can see the battery within. There is no way they'd make a device you can't change the battery out on... it's gotta be it.

No. There is no removable battery much less a replacement that you can purchase. If you are electronics savvy there are DIY work-arounds, otherwise I would highly recommend against even opening the case.

Yes, the little decorative piece can be pulledd off allowing you to change the battery.

If there's a way to change the battery, I couldn't find it. Mine died after about 4 months. I like the unit, so bought a new one but if its battery dies as soon I'll have to try another product.

you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing. Just go slow and dont force anything. you need the old casing!!!!after opening clean off ledges on casing. the batteries have a part number on them. go on line and buy a couple. under $3 apiece. use solding iron to remove and install new one/ones. note how they are wired up and install same way,,, put back together and use just a dab of crazy glue. peace you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing.

I believe the battery is built in and I don't think you can easily replace it. But I could be wrong about battery replacement.

Hi Toni! You don't need to change the battery if it is not broken. It will automatically charge itself once placed in the base/transmitter. In case you want to change the battery, you can press the "PUSH" button on the left housing to open the battery compartment lid. -Anthony

You can't change the battery. It's permanently closed. I don't think you've been able to change the batteries in small calculators for 30 years.

That is the only way to change battery is to get the screws out. I haven't had to change mine yet, but you need to get the cover off. Try to make sure you have the right screwdriver to fit so you don't strip the screws.

To change the batteries, you need a very fine phillips screwdriver. It is like doing surgery, easy for something to slip out of place.

You can buy batteries and change them. It is pretty easy, unless you are within the warranty period I don't think any store will take it back

I don't think there's any easy way to get into this thing to change the battery, but you won't need to think about replacing the battery for a LONG time. Battery life is VERY good on a single charge (about 25 hours), and if you really need to run it longer than that between charges, you can plug it into a car charger or AC with an appropriate "power only" adapter.

You can change it yourself! Just open the back cover w a coin, and the battery is one you can get at a drugstore, Walmart, or target
