Is the battery replaceable? My current 'copter has the battery soldered in.

all of them are replaceable if you know what you are doing, batteries are not meant to last forever, even rechargeables, i have over 100 helicopters and have changed batteries in almost everyone...if my 6 yr old can solder, so can you

The controller itself uses throwaway batteries. They are not included. The helicopter comes with a small rechargeable battery installed in it. There would be no reason to buy a separate rechargeable battery. It is small and wired in. Not really intended to be swapped out.

I don't know. My problem wasn't with the battery working......it was the connecting device. I was trying to find batteries for my fixed wing CHAMP rc airplane. I could not connect the rc plane to the battery. Now I'm stuck with them. My only recourse is to find an airplane that requires that battery.

You might be able to. Unscrew the sides and if the rechargeable battery isn't soldered in, it might be replaceable.

you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing. Just go slow and dont force anything. you need the old casing!!!!after opening clean off ledges on casing. the batteries have a part number on them. go on line and buy a couple. under $3 apiece. use solding iron to remove and install new one/ones. note how they are wired up and install same way,,, put back together and use just a dab of crazy glue. peace you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing.

Hello, what ice found is that a new battery for the heli help, if that doesn't work, replace the PC board.

Yes, you can replace the batteries. This Ted is awesome btw... Was worth every penny.

Sadly I can tell you there are no parts available from Amazon or the Fulfillment Center for these quad copters. You can find some blades that are about the same on Xheli.com and the batteries are also compatible with these quads. That is all I have been able to find. If your main board quits on you you are out of luck. No place to get a replacement. Hope this helped you some. If you need arms and motors you can adapt some from quad copters from another website (Bangood.com) which is in China. Other than that. It is hard to find any direct replacement parts for these copters. Hope this will help you.

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!

Yes. I ordered a spare to get extra flight time but that was not a good idea because you have to take the helicopter apart to change the battery. So I have kept the spare so that when this battery wears out I will change it out for the other one. I do love this helicopter as it has a long flight time, I get over 10 minutes!

As I remember the flight time was about 4 to 5 minutes. Charging was about 45 minutes depending how depleted the battery was. Instructions said to remove the battery before charging. This what destroyed my copter. The power wires broke on the circuit board while removing the battery. It lasted about 5 removals and reinstall action of the battery. In other words be careful.

The battery clicks in the bottom and will not fall out even in a crash. I eventually bought some 500mah batteries for longer flight time and cut the battery mount area off and added a strip of Velcro to copter and to the batteries. Now I just stick the batteries to the copter with no issues. I can also balance the copter better this way too.

No, just buy another full heli and use it for spare parts. You will need to replace the battery anyway and it will cost you half the price of a new heli sooooo it's better to buy a new one.

Hi - No - the battery is replaceable and is under the unit or at the base of the unit.

Unfortunately the battery is not replaceable unless you take the unit apart yourself. There's a couple of youtube videos discussing this but it may be more trouble than it is worth. The sides of the unit are glued together and need to be heated to be taken apart.

Yes, flight time is about the same. You will not get longer flight times unless you buy the new DJI Vision. You can buy other brand longer lasting batteries but they will not fit inside the copter (velcro to the top).

Yes, the battery can be replaced. Remove the two screws on the top, then unplug the black top from the battery pack. The battery pack is held on with some clear silicone, so you have to pry it off with a putty knife or some other tool that is thin and flat. I don't recall if it had three or four rechargeable batteries within a rubberized outer covering. I purchased one at Fry's Electronics for around $14. Very easy to replace. Wayne
