Is the battery in the helicopter replaceable? When the battery dies, can I quickly and easily swap it out with another fully charged battery?

It's relatively quick and easy. You do have to remove the canopy which is a snap-on, and then it's as easy as unplugging the dead battery and plugging in the new one. Then snap the canopy back on. It may take 2mins tops.

Wish I could help... I bought the helicopter for my husband for Christmas and it came MINUS the featured battery. The company did not offer replacements and we had to return the helicopter. Unfortunately he still doesn't have one. We have decided to try to find one at a brick and motar to make sure it is complete and actually will fly.

The battery is not replaceable. I bought mine online from DazzlePro when they had it on sale and it's worth it. The battery holds a charge for a couple weeks without charging. That's using it everyday twice a day (sometimes 3). I don't know what kind of battery it has but I only charge it when it's low. As a side note, though, DazzlePro is currently having a BOGO sale on this toothbrush for $59. Great for Christmas gifts :-)

The tail rotor motors do wear out, but typically when they die, they die. It may be the gyro on the main board isn't functioning properly which will ultimately result in poor control of the tail rotor/motor. If you wanted to buy a replacement, search for a v911 BNF (bind and fly) version. It will come with only the helicopter, which you can bind to your existing transmitter to save $20 or so.Alternatively you can buy a whole new setup, and as long as you buy the version with the "new" plug on the battery, you can use your old batteries with the new heli.

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.

The helicopter comes with a battery. Standard lithium. You can charge the helicopter from the transmitter or usb. Charging the battery takes 70 min. or so. Transmitter takes 6 AA batteries. Mine flies real good.

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.

I don't know about an upgraded battery. You can charge it with a USB adapter that comes with the heli.

No you can not replace the battery it is internal. It does have the option to connect an audio cord to it so that when the batter no longer works it is still functional.

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.

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.

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.

The helicopter itself has an internal, rechargeable battery that you charge through USB. The Controller takes 6xAAs.

Yes, the battery is replaceable. Its the same as a fairly common cell phone batt. The owners manual gives instructions.

It did last longer per charge that the standard battery. However the charger from the quad over charged it so it went bad quickly but that may be my fault. The battery did not stay clipped in the quad and would occasionally dangle under the copter. Take all that into consideration.

The battery appears to similar to the ones used in a cell phone. It also comes with a charging cord, i just keep it plugged it all the time. It shows in the instructions you can leave it plugged in and it will charge to its capacity, then-not charge again until its needed. As far as easily replaced or upgraded? Easy to replace, yes. Easy to find that battery, i don't know. Upgradeable, not sure either. Sorry, this may be more info then you wanted and not the answer you were looking for. Hope it helps..

yes a second battery will help, also you can get higher mah battery. i run a 2000 mah battery and fasten under the helicopter for a longer flight time off one battery, I did leave the battery that it came with inside and the second underneath the copter and of coarse change the connections on the batteries so that all i have to do is unhook one and hook the other up and i'm flying again.
