How easy is battery replacement? Do the backs snap off both units, or do you need to deal with screws?

They snap off, however I'm not real happy with my unit. The remote reader works for only a few minutes before you have to reset it

Robert, this was a gift to my husband for his grill at the camp. Everyone uses it. They love it. I can't say for sure, but I am almost convinced it is a snap on, but I will ask him, when he calls today, unless I forget. Just keep reminding me I tell YA, this was a great buy. I hope this helps!

the battery is removable... kind of. the battery is a distinct field-replaceable unit, but you need to remove the keyboard/touchpad/palmrest to get at it. this involves removing nine or ten screws and carefully separating the top and bottom halves of the unit. The unit has a feel of a netbook to it.

I have not had to replace the batteries yet. There are two very small screws. I believe one would need an eyeglass kit or a tiny Phillips to do the work.

There seems to be a very small battery door on back I have not been able to open it to determine what type of battery it takes. I would say it is probably too much trouble to replace. Current battery will probably last years, anyway.

Sorry, I never noticed the battery and am reluctant take it apart. For me, it will be better to replace the unit than to purchase a replacement battery.

I installed these locks in my house about eight months ago. I have not changed any batteries yet. The battery replacement is not hard. You have to unscrew the lock but don't have to take it all apart.

Hi - No - the battery is replaceable and is under the unit or at the base of the unit.

Very easy. Back unscrews. I've had it for months now and use it often and haven't had to change batteries. Still as bright as when I got it.

I've found you do need to replace the rechargeable batteries now and then. I looked up directions on the internet. It's not difficult but you will need a micro screwdriver and a specialty screw driver as well. The details should be in the internet instructions.

I don't think you can easily remove the battery. I even could not find a place to unscrew the back. I guess screw holes are behind the rubber foots.

Have never had to replace. I would imagine you could do it with some difficulty, but it will probably be cheaper to throw it away and buy a new one. I think the quality of the battery is better than the rest of the unit

yes the remote battery is easy to install, its a watch type (circle) battery. just remove the back cover and replace as you would do with any other battery.

You have to take off the edge brush then take out the four screws in the bottom that hold the plastic base onto the unit. Once you remove the bottom, the battery is right there and easily accessible. When swapped out just put it back together and give it a good charge before you use it.

Yes, the batteries are replaceable (but not by a typical user)- you must disassemble the unit and have soldering skills. I've replaced mine almost yearly. It takes about an hour, but is cheaper than using the Electrolux option.

They're not accessible unless you take it apart. And i am not sure how you do that their are no screws so I guess its pressed and glued together? Depending on what ap you run depends on how fas you battery drains. I get maybe 2 hrs straight use so I keep it plugged in unless I'm playing game or watching a movie; then I unplug it or it heats up and shuts down

Unfortunately the battery is not replaceable unless you take the unit apart yourself. There's a couple of youtube videos discussing this but it may be more trouble than it is worth. The sides of the unit are glued together and need to be heated to be taken apart.

The batteries are very easy to change. The unit has a tight fitting rear piece that can be pryed off - it takes two batteries - the specific light I have is a CR2016 although there are a handful of sizes listed on the website. I would highly recommend buying a quality battery; I have tried cheap batteries and they last 6 hours vs. 6 weeks with the NiteIze replacement batteries.
