can you change battery or does it have to be sent out ?

This phone is a unibody phone meaning the battery cannot be changed or replaced... so the phone already has a battery.

It is not designed for the owner to replace the battery, however if you are handy you can open it up and replace the battery, it's soldered in so you should be comfortable with a soldering iron.

Not sure have to probably take it into to radio shack or some place like that. I know the battery has a very short life. I have to re-charge mine almost every day even if it has not been used.

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

I'm sorry I don't know. I haven't had to replace it. If you take it to a battery place they can tell you when they replace it.

Yes, you have to hold in the button. I don't see a way to replace the battery.

No way to change battery, but ours has lasted a LONG time--definitely worth the price.

We haven't had to do that yet so I don't know. I purchased this for my son and he absolutely loves it and uses it all the time. He is now in Alaska so I can ask him how to change the battery - but I don't have an answer right now. Sorry

I've not had to replace the battery. Perhaps the manufacturer could give you an answer. Locally we have a store that advertised they have any kind of battery needed so if I did need one I'd try that store first. They might have economical batteries and would be a local access if you needed more batteries in the future . Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I think you would have to send it in for repair of bad battery to Sony. No way to replace battery with regular type batteries.

The paper work you got with your battery should tell you where to send it in to . You can also check with the person you bought it from.

According to the information I have with my manual, the battery is not supposed to be replaced. The battery, with proper care, is designed to last quite awhile, but it depends on how much you use it. I hope that's helpful.

No, battery doesn't come out. And if it needs to be replaced it will be quite costly just like an iPhone!

You don't change this battery, you recharge it. If the battery has failed it will need to be returned to the manufacturer.

I haven't tried to replace the battery in this one, but have in another version... they usually take a wheel chair battery, which are pricey. However, it wasn't easy to get the old one out and the new one in. Probably easier to replace the entire unit....

No you cannot change the battery. So buying a spare is of no use as you do not know which one to buy and how to change

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.
