Is it worth getting an extra battery and if so what kind? Is the battery easily removable and replaceable?

Worth getting extra battery. Replacing them is easy. The kind of battery should be listed in the product description.

Arlene...I actually returned this camera as it underperformed for me...in fact I didn't like it at all!

My bloggie has not required an extra battery. It holds a long charge when off. I have to recharge mine about every weeks.

The battery is easily removable and replaceable, but it should not be necessary to get another battery unless you are planning on using your Bloggie a lot. I contemplated getting one because I use it a few times a week...but charging on down time (while I upload to YouTube for example) saved me from having to get another battery. Good luck!

I havent even known that it requires an extra battery or I can add one.I use it quite a bit and it works fine...It is a very good camera for little movies of simple things like babies or a little recording you need to upload. Its Photos are useless and the videos are not high quality for making into high quality movies. SImple Youtube or Picasa uploads they are great... quick and fun.Hope that helps.

I bought two extra generic batteries. Occasionally the camera prompts me stating that the battery will not work because it is not a downy product. If I give the blogging a light smack, insert a different battery, or even take the battery out and reinvest it the prompt doesn't appear and I can use the camcorder.

Replaceable, I believe it is a CR battery so they are fairly spendy to replace

The battery is not easily replaceable -- you need to remove the back cover to access it. That isn't too difficult, because the laptop uses standard torx T5 screws. Still, its not simple.However, I've found the battery lasts nearly 6 hours unplugged for typical web browsing, which is good. Also, I've had the computer ~4 months and the battery life hasn't gotten any worse.

The battery is inside the housing. Not sure if it is replaceable. I doubt it. It wasn't touted as having a replaceable battery.

No, the battery is not replaceable. There doesn't seem to be a way to open it up without breaking it. The battery does seem to last pretty well, though and I've had it since October 2012. So far, so good!

I've only had it for a week, so no battey problems yet. It lasts my whole 10-hour work day on a full charge. There aren't any instructions included abot replacing the battery, but it looks like someone else responded and said it IS user-replaceable.Li-ion should last for years, but good battery maintenance will help extend the life. For at least the first 10 cycles, I charge it fully, then drain it completely. Don't recharge when it drops to 80%, 60%, etc. The performance doesn't suffer at all even when it is almost dead. That should help you get the most life and best performance.

If you are willing to do the work yourself to replace the battery, it is worth buying a replacement. Repair shops will charge you almost as much as a new Kindle will cost. Also when you open the case don't bother buying the opening tool. It is a piece of crap. Just use a small flat head jeweler's screwdriver and be extra careful not to push it in too far to come in contact with the internal electronics or have it scratch up the outside of the case. With a little leverage the case will pop open and your home free. We have had no issues since putting in the replacement battery.

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.

Comes with rechargeable battery, recommend to order additional battery for longer continual use

Yes the battery is replaceable, as long as you put the AA, rechargeable or not.

The battery is replaceable and may be purchased from Audible Rush for $40. Don't know about different batteries.

Yep, there is a replaceable battery. Lithium ion, flat cell phone like battery. Don't have it with me to quote specs, however.

No. There is no removable battery much less a replacement that you can purchase. If you are electronics savvy there are DIY work-arounds, otherwise I would highly recommend against even opening the case.

It is replaceable. If you use it less than 5 minutes per use a lithium battery should last a year or so.

It doesn't look like the battery can be replaced. I had mine for a couple of months and it holds it's charge very well. A simple plug to wall charger or computer with its USB cable and it charges with no problems. It holds a pretty good charge for couple of days-depending how much u listen.
