How long before solar recharging stops and the battery needs to be replaced. How much is one battery?

$9.99 , How long the battery lasts before being replaced varies depending on the circuit of the device, how many charges it gets and of course extreme heat or cold will effect the life span of any battery

Just one battery, but does recharge fairly fast. About one battery charge is enough work at one time for me anyway.

Best I can recall, NO. But this should not even be an issue since one battery will probably last about 10 to 15 years.

You'll need a 24V solar charge controller, hooked up to the solar panel and then to your battery. In full sun, it will take about 20 hours to fully charge a 100 AH battery. However, you should not let your battery get much less than 50 percent of capacity between charges.

Just one. I would not recommend. The charging system does not have a regulator and wrecks the battery if left charging too long. I've gone through 3 batteries and while they are not that expensive and easy to replace, it is a major pain. Only problem with it really. It sounds ok but the battery did last very long when it works.

Sorry I'm not sure maybe an hour. Since I've had I have not needed to charge it again.

That was also, worried about that. I called Wagan and the rep said it required an exact replacement battery. It was then just a matter of removing the top (solar panels) and using care and common tools, remove the old battery and replace the old one.

Generally, about 200-250 charges, much like a cell phone. So the trick is to use it until the warning indicator appears then charge. I did ask the manufacturer about replacement batteries before I bought mine, the reply was, if I sent it to them, they could replace the battery.

My battery averages 3.5 hours. The battery is sealed and can't be replaced by you. A great reason not to buy one.

I use rechargeables in my machine and they last about a month of twice daily usage (with the 3 averaged readings and some clothes in the way errors with an extra reading twice a week or so.) I estimate that they need replacing between 180-200 individual readings.

There is only ONE battery. My suggestion is to change it and you should be good to go.

It has a solar battery that can be charged via sunlight or by hand winding. The battery should last about 10 hours when charged by sunlight or 10 minutes with 1 minute of hand winding.

That depends on many factors such as age of battery, outside air temperature, and extra weight due to add-ons. In general, you can expect between 6 to 8 minutes. It's very important to notrun the battery down below 3.70/3.74 volts per cell.

I have run it for about 6 hrs before on a fully charged battery. Sometimes 7 depending on how often it is used. I keep a spare fully chargedbattery on hand just in case.

The one I have has one battery, and an optional add-on solar panel that attaches to it.

I have two sizes of batteries - the large one can take up to 2 hours if it close to total discharge. The smaller battery (the one that came with my camcorder) takes about an hour.

Take the handheld to battery shop and they will replace. Costs around $15. Should need replacement only every two years or so.
