Battery - can it be replaced if it stops charging after few years? does it come with batteries? what type of battery is it?

You can't take out the battery. It is not replaceable. Mine stopped charging after 7 months. NOT HAPPY!

It does come with batteries but I haven't opened it up to see what kind of batteries they are.

If the battery stops charging it can not be replaced by yourself. The company has a life time warranty and all you would have to do is notify the guard dog company and fill out a RMA form and send it in. They will replace the battery and send it back with no additional charge. I have had mine over 3 years and have never needed to change the battery.

Yes replace. They are cheap enough and they do go bad. Often it is best to buy both battery and charging cord/pack at the same time. The don't last forever.

It comes with a car charger, I don't think there is a battery you replace. I've had it since July and have left it in my vehicle through hot and cold weather and it holds charger good and I haven't had to charge it very often.

It has built in batteries and you don't have to replace them. You charge it by connecting a USB cable to PC/Laptop.

It is a built in Lithium battery. So, I'm assuming no way to replace it. They are asking me to assume the charge of shipping and send a $9.95 check for possible repairs because mine stopped working. That would probably be what you would need to do if yours needed a new battery. Since I've had mine less than 6 months I'm not a happy camper. Probably will not send it back. (This is their idea of a guarantee, I guess.)

My experience is this pic only lasts about a year - and then only if it is continuously plugged in. If a new battery exists it probably costs about as much as a new pic. I just get a new one when it ceases to charge.

The battery can't be replaced by you. It needs to be sent in. As for how long they will last before replacement, i don't know. A long time probably. I've only owned one for a few months so i can't be the judge on that. But my friend has had his for a few years and he uses it a lot. His is still working fine on the original battery.

The battery should be good (hold a charge) for at least 2 years or longer, by that time you'll probably want a new MP3 player anyway. But from what I've seen with other MP3 players, there will probably be 3rd party battery replacement made for this in the near future (probably will find it on e b a y.)

I am not sure on that..I have never had any problems with mine. I have had one besides this one for about7-8 years and it still holds a long charge.

This device does not allow for a replacement battery. When the unit stops charging efficiently, you need to buy a new one.

The answer is; the battery is a built in rechargeable. It would require a technician to replace it. The good news is that it is a lithium ion battery and will likely last the life of the unit... Cheers, Earl

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.

There is no battery. The unit is simply rechargeable and holds a charge for a long time. Then you charge it once again and it goes again. But there is no battery to replace. Hope this helps.

You don't. It's a recharging unit. When it no longer charges you throw it away and get a new one. My last one lasted two years.

It looks to be an internal battery. You will receive a cord that plugs into the unit and into a 110 outlet to charge the unit. I can't see a way to open it up and replace the internal battery.

The one I have came with a USB cable for charging but it stopped holding a charge after about 6 months. It still works but always needs to be plugged in to the computer which then supplies power directly. Defeats the purpose of bluetooth, but does function. Amazon says I bought this, but the description doesn't look like it - mine definitely does not take AAA batteries. There was only 1 or 2 models when I got it, now there are many, and I don't think any match what I have.

Good question. I would guess it is a Li-ion battery which you simply recharge and get several years out of it. If someone was to replace the battery after several years; the battery would likely cost more than the device.
