Are you able to replace the battery yourself? Are there word processing apps (ie... similar to MS word)?

You can replace the battery, but there is a switch you must pivot on the bottom or the battery won't slide out. Pretty simple once you get the hang of it. As for Microsoft, yes, you can use all Microsoft applications , you just don't have to pay several hundred dollars to use them. It won't have all the fancy bells-and-whistles of the full-functioning Microsoft version...but you can still open and edit them.

By the way, there is now an extended battery available from CDW, I believe it costs about $50 and is a six cell battery. You can find reviews of it on Youtube.

Yes you can snap the battery on and off yourself. I am wondering if they won't eventually come out with a higher powered one since it is removable. The Google documents are pretty user friendly. I have played around with them a little and they seem to have a lot of the same basic components of Windows. What I am not sure of yet is if they can be shared and opened up in Windows without losing the formatting. I opened up Excel and Word documents in Google and they looked the same but I am not sure about what it will look like when I send a Google document for someone to open in Windows. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to Google since I have been a Windows user most of my life. So far everything has seemed pretty simple, though.

ACER has just announced a newer-more expensive model- better battery life. Could be we can purchase a better replacement soon.

No, it is posted on I fixit.com. Not simple, I'm moderately technically skilled, and had no problem replacing the battery.

I think that you cannot buy any b/c no replacement exists (it can be the catch). The battery lasts less than one year. I had two toothbrush with the same results: batteries dead after a few months.

Hi, I do not think the battery is replaceable. I have about 250 songs on mine and I charge it about every 8 to 10 days. I only use it at the gym for an hour and a half every day. It does charge with the USB cable. Thanks, Pete

Nope, the batter cannot be taken out at all. Ultrabooks like this have the battery integrated with the motherboard. You can possibly ask the manufacturer about an upgrade, but it probably isn't easy requiring you to send it in for weeks.One option is the possibility of getting external power through usb batteries. These are fairly new devices which are useful to extend battery life.

The battery can be replaced by the consumer if they you can use a screwdriver. I bought a standard skill set with the add on tips. Stars, phillips, and straights. The smallest 2 star tips fit all those tiny little screws. It is not hard. I have done it many times. I'm currently swapping out a mother board. And it's not a bad phone. For an android. It runs faster than most. 3 members of my family using them now and we been through about 6 or 7 now in past 3 years. It is a good phone and querkty keyboard a big plus.

There is a replaceable battery (BLC-2 lithium ion) in the monitor, but I don't see any way to replace a battery in the camera. The only removable part I see is the magnetic stand/holder on the bottom. Could be that a battery compartment is under that but I haven't tried it. The batteries seem to last a long time. The last time I charged them was this summer and they are still working fine - keep them in my truck and it has been down in the 20s several times this fall. Hope this helps.

I just looked at mine and it does not appear that there is a way to remove the battery. However if there is a battery store in your area perhaps they could look at it and see if a replacement is possible. Another option would be to google battery replacement or check with samsung. Good luck.

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 believe you can change the battery. If it's difficult for you, maybe a friend or family member can help? I have not had to replace my battery, but if I remember correctly, you just use a small Phillips screwdriver, take the back off, & replace the battery with a new CR2032 3V battery.

I don't know if you can replace the battery yourself. The battery has a separate warranty which is prorated by month of a one year term. The Power Generator has a different 30 day replacement warranty and a 2-12 month repair warranty. I have had this item for almost a year and it has worked extremely well for me jump starting dead batteries, running a 12 volt air compressor to inflate tires, powering my CPAP machine over several nights of camping with out recharging and running my laptop computer via the AC power inverter.

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.

You can replace the battery yourself. C Crane has a pdf guide at their website. It took me 5 minutes to do it myself.

I also replaced the battery and experienced the same difficulty with the plastic tool. The replacement was pretty easily accomplished without it though. I have found that the Kindle does not perform quite the same since the battery was replaced. I need to recharge it much more frequently, and it continues to send me notifications even after I have requested it not do so. At least it functions, which is more than it did prior to the battery replacement.

I have not needed to replace battery, so I don't know about that. I have charged the keyboard with a USB cord and wall attachment which seems to work much better than computer.

Technically, you COULD replace the battery but the battery is sealed in the unit so the operation would constitute an unnatural act and, probably soldering and things like that. So, no it is not a consumer replaceable battery.

Yes, its very easy to replace the battery. Also I've had mine for 18 months and I haven't needed to replace it yet.
