Hi. If I purchase this and the battery gets old and dies, can I buy a replacement battery and install it myself?

Yes you can. I bought 2 for my boys and they are just a year old now and work great still on the original battery pack they came with.

The Battery will expire 12-16 for the ones I purchased. I am sure I will find another uses for it before it expires. why pay double for one battery to have someone install it.

No, you must purchase an additional battery that costs $500. Just kidding, every electronic device will come with a battery pre-installed.

Honestly I am not sure. I did that with my first one and it lasted a little over a year. But the battery is reasonable in price so it is worth it to me. I use mine alot.

The same thing happed to me. I replace the batter (which wasn't cheap) and it worked for about a week then died. Not sure that it can be replaced.

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.

You are lucky. Mine didn't last long enough to need new batteries. It was a complete waste of money. Sorry I couldn't help.

Dead battery that needs replaced...but depending upon who you bought it from, there's a 99.99% chance you have been ripped off.

I would say no because they are different in size. If you already ordered from OEM BATTERY they will definitely replace it without any problems. If you have any questions about your battery number and the replacement number just give them a shout out and they will help you find the right one.

Contact the seller. The battery ought to last at least a couple years even in heavy use and the seller may send you a replacement or at least sell you one at a big discount. If not there are a number of good sources for batteries on amazon. Look for a 4-5 star product from a 90%+ seller if possible.

Don't assume you can get a new battery. I have had my radio for quite some time and put it away for emergency use. I recently found the battery a little corroded and won't hold a charge. Now, I can not find a replacement battery. I even went to a specialty shop with no help given. Anyone actually "know" where a replacement battery can be found?

Not sure have to probably take it into to radio shack or some place like that. I know the battery has a very short life. I have to re-charge mine almost every day even if it has not been used.

First confirm battery specifications in your computer stored info. If, in fact this model battery is called for, then I would order it. I have had no problems with my replacement battery. It is important that you exercise the battery regularly, (Use battery and then recharge, etc.) I can not confirm you will not have problems, only that I have not had any problems.

Yes, you have to buy a new one. Don't know why companies repeat that mistake... It happens with Creative, Sansa, and others. I think you can find the replacement, but is cheaper to buy a new one, because you have to pay the battery and the replacement by a qualified service deparment.My english is so bad, excuse me...

Yes you dont need to buy a new battery. Tho you need to charge this battery longer. Close to 10 hours.
