Can I substitute a regular battery if the rechargeable dies?

Dear Customer, Please note that this light only works with 18650 battery. 18650 batteries are very available in the market, by brands like Sony, Panasonic etc. You may want to purchase an extra battery to complement the one shipped with the light. In the near future Cycle Beam may offer individual replacement 18650 batteries in our webstore to make it even easy for our customers to get it. Hope that I answered your question.

Yes of course. I just liked the rechargeable version I had previously. Obviously, you could use rechargeable batteries as well. It was just nice to have it all-in-one and not need the rechargeable batteries (or normal batteries) as extra.

The battery is rechargeable using a standard micro USB power cord (which is included with the unit). Unless your device is defective, the battery should last for a long time. After several years, I've only had to replace 1 battery for the three units I've owned. A replacement battery (which I bought on Amazon) cost under $5.

Yes and no. The device uses a LiFePO4 400mAH battery with an attached wire/plug. You could find such a cell and replace it but a battery like that isn't that common yet. I'm thinking it's going to be a long long time before you have to worry about it though.

i don't think it is replaceable. there is no slot/hatch in the back so recharging by usb is probably the only way to give it power. these go for quite some time between charges. just pay attention to the manual's recommendations and it should fairly keep the life going strong as far as use. leaving anything plugged/charging for long periods of time or overnight is a no-no for any product.

Yes---I looked to make sure. You must use the rechargeable type. We have had our sets for several years and have never had to replace them.

Yes, the battery is rechargeable but replaceable and can be purchased as a separate item.

A rechargeable battery should work. I do not think it comes on the device assuming you will replace it, but most devices out there comes the same way, assuming you will just replace the device in the future rather than the battery. However, if you open it, and you are able to remove the battery and place a new one with similar references, it should work.

The instruction say to replace it with a rechargeable battery (just like the one that died).

Internal rechargeable battery probably can't be replaced..but I have had mine for years and recharged dozens of times

A Li-ion polymer battery that is not "user-replaceable" but if you have some experience in basic electronics you can buy one in comparable size to replace with. Make sure to remove the small circuit board from the old battery assembly and use the new battery cell soldered onto the old board to ensure the battery can be charged. If you replace the battery assembly without keeping the old board, your new battery won't be charged via the USB cable like before. Do google search and you'll find an in-depth post I made on Plantronics forum. I also uploaded a picture of how the battery is housed in 995H on Amazon so you'll be able to see it first. My battery lasted for about one year before I noticed the capacity declined, and then another year to a point where the battery couldn't even last for one phone call.

The battery is built in. I haven't had to replace mine, but the specs do state it is possible to replace when it stops holding a charge.

There are no replacable batteries. Once it dies, it is dead. A standard battery would be a AA battery that you could recharge or replace.

No, Daniel. You can use regular batteries. I use rechargeable batteries to have plenty on hand and I've found they last about five times longer than regular disposable batteries.

It is replaceable. It takes a 9 volt NiMH battery. You can put any 9 volt (standard 9 volt connection) but don't connect it to it's charger if it's not the right type. The built in charger wants the NiMH type.

Don't do it! The excess voltage would surely burn something out. (If they even fit.) There are numerous suitable "double A" batteries that will work, including many rechargeable ones.
