Is it simple to replace the rechargeable battery?

I've only had my Lumina 700 for a month or so, so I'm not even close to needing to change the battery. According to NiteRider the battery is user replaceable but you will need a 2mm allen hex wrench to remove the rear of the case to access the battery. Now I'm thinking NiteRider probably figures by the time the battery wears out its customers will be ready to upgrade to the latest and the greatest light rather than changing the battery. If it's like my other NiteRider products the battery will last at least a couple of years.

There is a video on the manufactures web site that shows how to replace a battery in a Lumina series light.

It's a lithium-ion battery and I haven't had mine long enough to have the battery fail, so I can't answer your question from "experience". There are two screws (2mm hex female headed) that probably can be undone to get to the battery. This is a great light. I use it in strobe mode during daytime bike rides. I ride over 100 miles per week and get about eight hours of (strobe mode) use before recharging. When the switch turns red, it's time to recharge it using the USB cable. I connect it to my Macbook Pro and in a few hours the switch turns blue signifying it's fully recharged.

I have not replaced my battery yet and I have had the night rider 650 for almost 18 months. I use it almost daily and love the light and rechargeable battery. I have dropped it multiple times and had a serious wreck in Jan of this year and seriously scraped a section of the plastic but it takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I am buying one for the wife.

Yes, the battery is replaceable. I keep the unit in the charger 90% of the time but when I use the unit on battery it lasts about a couple of hours.

About the email you sent me. The battery is rechargeable C probably, have to take apart the whole unit and unscrew it to replace it

Yes, the battery can be replaced. I did just that and bought a replacement here on Amazon (12V 5AH Rechargeable Sealed Lead Acid Battery-$15.00). Simple to do. Just remove the screws from the bottom plate, slide the old battery out, pull the wires off and vise versa to install. Took about 5 minutes

I haven't tried to replace the battery in this one, but have in another version... they usually take a wheel chair battery, which are pricey. However, it wasn't easy to get the old one out and the new one in. Probably easier to replace the entire unit....

As far as I can tell, the rechargeable batteries are built-in. I'm not even sure if they're replaceable.

Yes. Easy to remove. You can replace it by buying another one when it eventually konks out as well. But the battery on mine has been good now for a long time. Havent had to replace it yet.

No, the rechargeable battery inside is not replaceable. I use mine almost every day for over 8 months without any change in battery life. If you're worried about the battery not being able to hold a charge in a few years, then you may want to contact the manufacture to see if they offer a battery replacement service.

I don't believe the battery is replaceable. I've had the prior version of this one for over 23 years and the battery still runs. Hope that helps.

Sorry, I've never tried to replace the battery, so I wouldn't know? I really don't use mine anymore and I'm looking to get rid of it. It's just collecting dust in my garage.

No, it's not considered user replaceable. Though here is a video of someone taking it apart, and he shows how you would replace the battery if you're adventurous and careful, and if batteries are available: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI1Lm_-1djY&mode=related&search=
