is the battery user removable? I'm looking at some of the pictures and I can't see a user-accessible battery bay anywhere.Thanks :)

It is, in a way, you have to take apart the laptop to pull it out, its not that hard. But why ASUS did this, i have no idea. And i have this laptop, and the battery life on it says 4 hours when fully charged, in fact im typeing this on that laptop right now.

On the one that I have it is not removable and the battery life is about two and a half hours, I hope that helps.

It was a gift for my grandson and he has the laptop. I am sorry I cannot help you.

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 battery should not be glued to the case normally. There are two latch releases that hold the battery on. My experience with ours is that those latches are delicate. One broke, and we had to tape the battery on. If there is glue involved, it could be that someone (previous owner?) had a similar problem.

If the battery can be removed, you would need to unscrew the entire base. Sorry to take so long on answering

No, the battery is not removable, since the unit is sealed in case you drop it in the water. It is safe in water for several meters and up to a half hour. You can get a proper sim card from your cell phone company to fit the unit. I bought the universal phone and had Consumer Cellular send me the sim card to fit their network. It also has a slot for an additional memory card.

Exactly this is what happens. The battery does not have an easy access, you need to remove all the bottom to access it.

I have yet to mess with it, but I believe the battery is removable. In the battery settings there is a monitor to see how the battery is working along with a link to buy a replacement one if/when necessary.

You are correct that there is no easy access. This is a very traditional case. It covers and protects the camera and is held on by the camera mounting screw. You unscrew that and the camera is free from the case. So far I haven't had to change the battery in an all day session, so it hasn't been an issue.

There is a little paper strip that you need to remove. It saves battery life until it's ready to be used.

I was just about to suggest (and feeling a bit smug about it, I'll admit) that you simply re-boot. I had forgotten about the non-removable battery. Oops. Who feels foolish now? This is a great post. I hope somebody comes up with a useful suggestion.

There's a slide-out battery cover right behind the wrist band on the back. It's a little concealed by the band but you can still get to it.

There is a sliding cover to the 2 battery compartments. I don't have mine in front of me, but you should be able to figure out which way to slide it open.

Yes, I am in the same boat as you are. There was a battery terminal missing on mine in the inside of the battery pack. Called the manufacturer they said take it up with the people you bought it from, and so I did. I'll be returning mine for a full refund. Lots of disappointed people on this one, I'd say. On Christmas, too. Good luck, ya'll. But I'd say yes, there probably was a whole shipment of these that were defective...

It is removable. The back plate pops off to expose the battery, which is a Li-ion Battery 3.7V, 1100mAh battery with an input of 1A/5V. You really can't beat this unit if you travel and don't want to rent a GPS unit or turn on your data and get the roaming charges from another country. I turn off data on my iPad mini, enabling ONLY bluetooth and WiFi, and use this unit when traveling in Canada. It's awesome.

The batteries are accessed from the front, not the back. Just remove the two screws holding on the front cover - it comes off easily, revealing the two batteries.

There is a backplate but it looks like there is none! (I thought the same thing too when I first got it!) If you look hard you will see that the back plate is more like an "open frame" around the back of the unit. There is a little lip that you lift to lift the plate. Once you open that frame plate, the batteries will fit and it slips right back on to keep the batteries in place. However it is open in the middle so you do see a lot of the battery area! Hope this helps. It's there...just lift the little tab!

Unscrew the back cap - the one with the on/off button. The battery carrier will then slide out, be sure to put it back in the same way it came out.
