I notice the 6 pack unit has a different picture than the 1 or 2 pack. Is the battery accessible from the front of the 6 pack unit?

Yes. The front cover screws off and the battery is accessible for replacement. It's less than a two minute job to replace the battery. It will take you more time to get you ladder set up for the job than the replacement will take.

I was also hoping to keep a spare battery on hand. Looks like it's a permanent battery. Two issues bad about that is: you can NOT charge one while the other is in use and once the battery no longer holds a charge, the unit is useless. Did I miss this information (permanent battery not replaceable) somewhere in the product description?

Yes. 4 screws on the back allow access to the battery compartment. I replaced the battery on our unit. You can get a replacement on line, or go to a store that specializes in batteries for electronic gear. I would take the old one to be sure you get the proper replacement. Size, voltage and connections are all critical.

Can't be any more specific than shown in the review, but I've replaced batteries on 2 APCG units and both are still doing ok. The second one I ordered in Dec. 2012. They aren't as well packaged as the official batteries from APC, but they are a lot cheaper from Amazon's Battery Supersite. Your dimensions and specs seem to match. I don't recall there being a product number though the company may use one.

I think it means a six pack, like soft drinks or beer comes in a six pack. I did get 60 batteries.

Sorry, I never noticed the battery and am reluctant take it apart. For me, it will be better to replace the unit than to purchase a replacement battery.

There are two very small phillips head screws located on the top of the battery pack (top side is with the upper strap connected to it). The two small screws locked into the small battery compartment lid so they should not fall out when you unscrew them.

I've had to replace two batteries in the first six months of use. You just unscrew 4, small Phillips screws from the backside of the light, and pull off the metal, then plastic back pieces to expose the guts of the unit. The battery is a AAA, 600mah, 1.2V, NiMH cell that can be popped out, and replaced. Sometimes there is a bit of hot melt glue from the mounting of one of the LED's that will hold the cell in place, but you can cut thru it with a razor blade.The units are working well, in our hostile Arizona sun, and I'm glad I bought the 10 pack, because I've got a couple of spares. By the way, upon receipt, one of the units was DOA, so I'd plan for the possibility when ordering. I've had to replace two batteries in the first six months of use.

The Gold Gym has 2 battery areas, each covered by a plastic plate with a top screw to hold them in place. The left-side battery area [when standing in front of the machine] is where you plug in the AC adapter. You must also remove all batteries when using the adapter.

It's different. It's bigger. There is an expanded battery plus cover out there. just search.

I forget but if you look at it closely you will see a glyph that shows the battery placement. It is hard to see, because it is raised lettering of the same color plastic, but it is there. If my memory is correct, it is 4 batteries, 2 pointing up in series and then two pointing down in series.

No, there was a guy who checked it out at lowes just two weeks ago. They had some stuff on clearance and the 20V battery was bigger and had a different slot position then the 18V. Sorry! Good luck! God Bless!

The pictures are misleading... the battery is internal. Credit where credit is due though, it's a very long lasting battery.
