The headset battery looks to be quite unique. Is the battery replaceable without Swissvoice?Companies come and go... phones go on and on...

Not sure, but see that there are SV replacement batteries for sale via Amazon and EBay.

I can't give any details on battery replacement, but I did purchase and returned two of these phones. They are unique and lovely, but I could never get a dial tone on either one ... even after lengthy charging of the batteries.

Funny you should ask - mine died, and I was unable to find a replacement battery. Had to buy another phone. Another challenge - I live in a building that has door access via the telephone, and the tones that the phone generated wouldn't open the door. It's very attractive, though...

We like the phones a lot, once we got used to the buttons (a little different than our old phones) but we have them in fur different rooms - and use them with two different phone lines. I bought the headset or my husband, thinking to make his work easier . . . he has not yet taken it out of the package, so I guess I can't help you there. Sorry.

The headset works well, I went through a 2 hours talk without trouble.As for the handset, seems like you can't dock and use it on speaker mode at the same time. I tried once, but was in a rush, so didn't really explore to see if I did it wrongly.Normal rechargeable AA batteries is used.

yes the phone was brand new with charger battery and headset. The only problem is that the battery died and I had to order one today

I haven't tried. Yes, mine doesn't seem to hold its charge for too long, but it is still enough for 2 - 3 hours of web conference, so it still meets my needs. I did get a new pair as this is the lightest and most comfortable headset I can find.

Sorry for the delay of my reply.I had to return the item being it did not work for my use; when I had the phone in my belt case, the head set would cut in and out.The mfg claimed I was the first to have this issue, yet later found out that was not true, many others had the same issue.The phone would have to be worn on my arm so the head device would not loose connection.As far as how long the battery would last, I did not use the head device longer than several minutes.

Yes the battery can be replaced. I'm not exactly sure which one it takes but it is a round one like a watch battery or old style hearing aid battery. Sorry not at home right now on the road.

You can not replace the battery, mine lasted about two years. It was very comfortable and had good sound quality and I now have a different head set that is not portable. I thought about buying another one but then thought why spend $50+ every other year.

I'm not sure if the battery can be replaced, most likely no. What I do know is that I played mines for about 8 hours at full volume before the battery died so I'd say that's decent. The type of battery it is you would probably get a couple hundred recharges. You may want to alternate between using it till the battery is completely drained and using it while charging. It will help to extend the battery life. Hope this helps.

This battery was an excellent replacement. It stays charged at least 24hrs, (had it for about 6 months or more). I was very impressed with the price compared to buying new a new headset!

I have hesitated on getting a new headset. I plan on calling Motorola and telling them, they have been known to replace the headset on other models. Other than that, no. I looked online and followed several instructions to reset the headset, none worked. Hope it helps

There is no information in the manual about replacing the battery and even after using the headset for years it still charges and lasts as long as when new. You may want to contact customer support and ask them. 1-800-331-6456.

I used it for a short while, sounds pretty decent and tested it with 3 different android phones. The headset button didn't work for me, but that I would blame on a problem with a custom rom(Cyanogen Mod 10, nightly build). Didn't keep the product due to no case despite what is advertised(Verizon OEM boxed headsets do not include a case, if your shipped a retail boxed I think it would come with a case). Great value for the price point for a flat, tangle free headset. It's durability is in question based on multiple reviews, but I couldn't speak for or against that aspect as I kept mine for a little over a week.

I haven't yet had the need to replace the battery. I did however take a look at it yesterday as I was also curious and the only thing I can think of is using a straight screwdriver on the two screws (assuming they're screws) on the face of the device. You can see the battery within. There is no way they'd make a device you can't change the battery out on... it's gotta be it.

I don't really know, I had lost the box. But when I said that the buttons on the side didn't work, well, it only worked on my phone for some reason, so as far as your concerned I don't really recommend this headset, but if you did get a weird model like mine then just send it back to be replaced, that was my first mistake.

Hi Gregory --- As I remember, there was one (1) battery with the headset, but I also ordered two (2) spares at the same time. I have found that one full battery will last for about 2 hours. I always have my other two spares mounted in the transmitter which keeps them fully charged. This process has worked perfectly for me, and the headset does a great job of dealing with my slowly increasing deafness. God's blessings. Larry Dube'

It looks like you can... I can attach the battery to the charger and can still make calls. If you have a spare headset, try it yourself by disconnecting battery and placing on charger and see what happens.
