Can the battery be replaced? I want to buy this but want to know when the battery goes bad eventually if I can replace the battery.

I don't think you can replace the battery. The cord plugs right into the base. For this price, you could just buy a new one every few years if you use it that much...

It might be available, I do not know but I do know that on any of this type of tool, it is never worth it to replace the battery as the price of the battery is so close to the price of a new unit.

There are some batteries that can be replaced. There is apparently another internal battery that can only be replaced by sending back to factory. It is claimed to have a long life.

If there's a way to change the battery, I couldn't find it. Mine died after about 4 months. I like the unit, so bought a new one but if its battery dies as soon I'll have to try another product.

It can be replaced but I recommend getting a pro who will not break the case or short something out. Try Chris Short (http://www.palmdr.com) in Mankato, MN. He charges around $45 for a new battery including shipping.

There are some guides online to tell you how to replace the battery. It involved de-soldering and soldering, so really only do-able for advanced DIYers. I tried and failed (but learned a lot about soldering on the way, so the $15 I invested was not completely wasted). Of course doing so will also void any warranty, so it's really only something that you will want to attempt if you have nothing to lose.

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

No, the rechargeable battery inside is not replaceable. I use mine almost every day for over 8 months without any change in battery life. If you're worried about the battery not being able to hold a charge in a few years, then you may want to contact the manufacture to see if they offer a battery replacement service.

Battery is not replaceable. Throw it away when it stops working. It's a cheap item.

The battery is built in. I haven't had to replace mine, but the specs do state it is possible to replace when it stops holding a charge.

There doesn't seem to be any way that an owner/user was intended to easily replace the battery. Having said that, I hadn't had to replace the battery so far. Its been my experience that most any battery can be replaced regardless of whether or not the manufacturer planned for that contingency. In this case, the base appears to be removable which "I assume" will give you access to the battery. Once you have the battery in hand, it becomes an Internet search to find and purchase a suitable replacement.

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

Havent had problems with the battery, I leave mine in the car plugged up and charged....not sure about a battery replacement, but I will tell you that if you let it completely die and then plug it in to charge it will work fine, I am only saying this cause thats what I did to mine, and it works great

I would imagine being that old it would be difficult to find a replacement battery. A battery will go bad just like a battery in a car it will eventually go bad and need to be replaced. I haven't had this problem the handle on mine broke and could not find a replacement so I had to puachase a new one.

I'm sorry I don't know. I haven't had to replace it. If you take it to a battery place they can tell you when they replace it.

Sorry, I've never tried to replace the battery, so I wouldn't know? I really don't use mine anymore and I'm looking to get rid of it. It's just collecting dust in my garage.
