Hello, I was wondering how easy is to get replacement batteries, has someone experienced the need to change this component yet?

Thanks Kim, have you ever find out if there is a replacement of the battery, or it cannot be detached out of the device, so when the battery life reached end the whole product became not more useful.

I haven't tried opening this device. Behind the door on the side, i assume there are some screws behind the label. I don't know if the batteries will be standard or something dedicated...

I have owned two of these units and I could never figure out how to replace the battery. It may be possible, if you are more technical than me. I found that the power cords go out, but you can buy very inexpensive new ones on Amazon.

We have not needed to replace the battery. I suggest you contact the manufacturer. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Still didn't have to repair or replace parts so I don't know. Considering that I have been using mine since October 2013 with no problems, I think buying a new one if it breaks would not be such a big issue considering the price of $74,18. I think placing it properly and checking the batteries after a couple of months for corrosion will help it last.

Hi Brad, We got the unit in 2/2013 (btw: SUPER EASY to install)!! We have not yet had to replace the battery; but, we do not use the unit every day (maybe only once a week). Hope this helps a little.

I have not had to replace the battery yet. I use it about 30-40 minutes 3-4 times per week. I have had it for about 7-8 to months. I have no complaint on that issue.

So funny.. i just replaced the batteries last night. AA batteries, it was easy to replace, there are some small screws. The batteries lasted over a year, but it is having some trouble in the cold weather. It is in the negatives here in NY and the outside temp is not reading.

I haven't tried to replace the battery in this one, but have in another version... they usually take a wheel chair battery, which are pricey. However, it wasn't easy to get the old one out and the new one in. Probably easier to replace the entire unit....

Replacing batteries is no problem. The lights maybe a problem as I don't see an access panel. May have to take unit completely apart.

Worth getting extra battery. Replacing them is easy. The kind of battery should be listed in the product description.

You can buy batteries and change them. It is pretty easy, unless you are within the warranty period I don't think any store will take it back

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! It's also cheap and easy to do! You can buy the replacement battery here on amazon and instructions for actually replacing it can be found online.

I have replaced mine a couple times...kids do that:) Just search for lowest price and order one for $40 bucks or so. Easy to program.

I do not believe you can replace the battery. I contacted the seller of mine about this and got conflicting info. They lastly told me to pry off the back to replace the battery which I believe will break the unit if attempted. My 2 still work so I have not tried it yet.

That is the only way to change battery is to get the screws out. I haven't had to change mine yet, but you need to get the cover off. Try to make sure you have the right screwdriver to fit so you don't strip the screws.
