how does it work. Is there a replaceable battery inside?

Yes it works but that battery is not replaceable ;the USB cord it comes with is bad so you might what to charge it with a different cable

If there is, it's by no means accessible to the average consumer. The clear answer is no. You can charge this through its micro usb port and then have it ready to power an electronic off the (full-size) usb slot when needed on the go. If it dies, you get a new one. If that's a concern then get a better, more expensive one.

You simply connect the portable battery to an outlet on the wall or any other power source and let it charge up and get full of charge. After a while, you connect your iphone, iPod, etc. to it and that electronic takes the battery stored inside the portable battery. You simply charge it up, and then charge your electronics using that energy.

Battery is not meant to be replaced. You would have to open it up, like you would a PS3 controller.

Well the battery pack is internal and not replaceable... That said if you a resourceful DIY person I'm sure you would open then handle and figure out what its got inside for batteries and locate a replacement if you were so inclined. This one is new so I hope to not discover what's inside for a few years to come.

It works like a cell phone-- you charge it up, and then use it. There are no replaceable batteries, but it does not (and should not) get plugged in while you are using it in the shower.

I have yet to mess with it, but I believe the battery is removable. In the battery settings there is a monitor to see how the battery is working along with a link to buy a replacement one if/when necessary.

It is a built in rechargeable battery. I do not know if it is replaceable but I suspect it will last quite a long time.

I bought one about a year ago. It came with a battery inside. My granddaughter loved it, but I don't know if the battery had to be replaced or what size battery it used.

Yes there is an internal battery you could try to replace but it is not normally supposed to be user-serviceable. First I would make sure the dc adapter is working and/or try another adapter. It is more likely that the adapter has died as even if the battery was 'dead' (i.e., would not hold any charge) it should still allow passage of enough current to work while plugged into a power source. Even brand new, my battery only lasted perhaps ten minutes. If left for a few days without driving, it completely discharges, but works fine as long as it is plugged in. There have been occasions the adapter came loose and I thought the unit had died but I just needed to jiggle the adapter in the 12v socket.

Why do you think that battery is non-replaceable ??? Actually there are instructions on how to remove the battery and properly dispose of it. So there is access to the battery. Simply remove the protective fabric cover and remove the battery. I've heard it costs $10 on ebay.

The battery is internal. I use the power cord in my vehicle, but when I ride with someone else I use the battery. It lasts for well over an hour if you turn on the Screen Saver which turns off the screen. I do not think the battery is replaceable. I have also run it with an external battery designed for cellphones. Same cord.

I personally have not replaced a battery and have not had the opportunity to do deal with that question. If you are able to open it, you should be able to see the battery and get the number or size from the existing one inside. I hope this helps, but I am not the expert, just a casual user, contact the maufacturer or go on line to e-how and pose that question and hopefully you will be able to get an answer.

Yes, their is an internal battery (not replaceable) that you charge using a standard micro usb cable and any standard usb power source, just like most other devices these days.

Yes, you have to plug into electrical outlet to have it work, there is no internal battery.

There is no internal battery. It does not charge. It must be plugged in to an external power source to work.

there is a battery inside the unit that doesn't need to be replace, it is rechargeable, to recharge it just connect it to a USB port and that is it.

If you read the instruction manual, you'll find that the internal battery can be replaced. I've had mine for a few years and only had to replace the internal battery once. . . and that was just for one of the mills. Well worth it! I love this product and have purchased it for friends. BTW, Cuisinart sells this product for $60, not $110. The $48 price is good and can be purchased at BB&B; for the same with their 20% off coupon.

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.
