Can you change the batteries, if so what kind do they take? About how long have they lasted if you can not?

Well I had to change them as soon as my kid opened the box then they lasted like a week (even though it shuts off automatically) they take button batteries (like a watch battery) I was not happy with mine and it was used one day now its in a closet, my son wanted one really bad but it was a waste of money for me.

Yes, you can change the batteries and the button batteries are included with purchase. The trick to longevity is allow the fish to rest in the bowl and it rejuvenate itself for a long time. My grandsons really had fun with these and were amazed the fish kept swimming after a minute rest period.

I'm sorry. This was a gift for a grandchild. I have no idea about batteries and such. Sorry.

Yes, you can change the batteries. It takes two of the hexbug batteries. They are small button cell batteries. You can search Amazon for "hexbug compatible batteries". Look around and you'll find them reasonably priced. I buy a big pack of forty at a time for about $9.

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

I just changed the batteries on mine and they work fine. I have had them for about a year now.

The battery is not supposed to be changed, judging by the way its designed. But there s a way to change it if your a DIY type of person. I posted a video of how to do this task for $12 and 30 mins per speaker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpHjhUjrv7k

Hi, are you asking how long the batteries last before they need to be recharged, or how long the batteries last before they are no longer rechargeable?

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.

Greetings. Theoretically speaking, the batteries can last 100-120 hours. But it will also be affected by the battery type and usage. Thanks for your question.

I haven't changed the batteries in 6 months in mine, and their working fine. I use them all most every day.I hope this helps.

Yes, you can replace the batteries. They are a 3V Lithium, type CR2032. Hope this helps.

I just change the batteries and don't bother with the other stuff. batteries last anywhere from 2 weeks to 3+ weeks depending on how much I use it.

I have a similar problem - they appear to be a poor quality product and of course it is now too late to return them. I suspect even if they were replaced you would have the same problem 5months from now. And just so you know, batteries can be replaced(yes they have batteries) but they are costly.

I use mine about once a month and have not had to change the batteries yet. I have them in for the past 4 months. Great unit!!!!!

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

you do not change batteries they are rechargeable. as for holding a charge sitting with the unit off the battery will hold a charge well over a week

If you want to get into taking the unit apart (disassemble it), then yes you can replace.. there is no 'open door' to change the batteries.. you need to solder-desolder the old (and new)-replace-- reassemble.. otherwise you can't..

The ones that I purchased, yes the battery is rechargeable. But, if there's a way to replace the battery, that would be great because the batteries suck now. They don't hold a charge for anything. I haven't checked to see if I can replace them. I'll check tonight though.

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.
