do the batteries need replacing?

There are no batteries. It sits on a battery charger base that plugs into the wall. I use mine almost everyday and love it. I highly recommend!

No. I've had it over a year now and there is no sign that the batteries have weakened. I usually place it back on the charging station after use, but sometimes leave it off the station for a week or more and the batteries are just as good as if it had just left the station.

The vac takes a 20V rechargeable battery. I'm sure like any rechargeable battery, after so many charges it will eventually wear out and need to be replaced. This has not happened to us yet and the vac is still going strong.

Call the manufacturer. They can replace whatever you need. They should have batteries you can buy as well.

I haven't replaced them yet, but I haven't used it much either. I did have problems getting it to work when I first put batteries in it.

This is a common problem with weak batteries. Replace with fresh batteries.

Screwed in plate on the bottom indicates that it takes AAA batteries. So I assume they can be replaced.

I haven't needed to replace batteries yet. Sorry I can't help. But now I anticipate I'll have the same problem, so I'm happy to know this online Q&A; exists. Maybe the manufacturer will give us some hints.

Mine were the ones that did not work only after a few months. I cannot answer your question. However if they are not being used the batteries should not be draining to the point that when you need them in a real live EMERGENCY they don't work! You don't have the luxury of stopping to switch out the batteries. My units are being replaced, but if this happens again I will certainly be calling Wagan again! These are new on the market and in my opinion maybe they shouldn't have been launched until ALL of the bugs were worked out. Not let consumers be the guinea pigs!

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

I haven't had the need to replace any of them, as yet and they've been working for for more than 1 year now. They plug into the wall so there isn't even a need to replace batteries.

You are lucky. Mine didn't last long enough to need new batteries. It was a complete waste of money. Sorry I couldn't help.

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.

If they stop working you have to replace the batteries. IF that doesn't work, then I don't know what you should do because it's never happened to us.

I've had mine about a year and have not replaced batteries. But it depends how much you use it.
