Is battery replacable?

I believe it can be, although you will have to remove the back cover to access the battery. I have sent an email to the distributor to obtain the details of the battery and its replacement. The distributor is located in Arcadia, California. Its telephone number is 626-244-8538. Its email address is sales@microsolarinc.com. I note that the distributor was not i incorporated until 2013. Based on the voicemail message, it appears that it is a small operation. Nevertheless, my preliminary evaluation of the products is that they are reasonably well built, although the mounting brackets could be of heavier metal. They tend to bend. We are getting approximately 12 hours of useful light output on a full charge. I am cautiously optimistic that the units will have a long useful life. We use the lights as landscape lights and they have eliminated the expense of installing low or regular voltage hard wired lights. Hopefully, I will get a prompt response from the distributor that firms the accuracy that the lithium battery can be replaced with a common battery. I note that their literature indicates a life expectancy of two years for the battery. DOJ

This is a follow up from my earlier response. MicroSolar informs me that the battery is replaceable.

Yes, it's removable (it looks like a fat AA battery) and can be swapped out easily.

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.

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

yes the battery can be replaced and should be. You need to locate the slip shield on it...it is part of the handle where you put your thumb...you need to pull down

If you mean by re-chargeable battery, then yes! But if you mean pull-out battery, then no. Hope this helps. p.s. by the way, mine came with a battery as well as being a plug in unit into a 110 volt electricity power outlet.

the battery is not designed to be replaceable. I have read that some people have opened the back and found that the battery is soldered in.

No, the battery is not replaceable. If you wanted to try replacing it, then it would require a complete dis-assembly of the player followed by the locating of the battery and finding a replacement battery. If you've had it for awhile, it's easier to replace the entire system. If you just got it, there is a factory warranty that should cover any problems.

I don't think it can be replaced. The battery is recharged when it is connected to a USB cable and recharger. I use the cable which came with my cell phone.

If you want to get into taking the unit apart (disassemble it), then yes you can replace.. there is no 'open door' to change the batteries.. you need to solder-desolder the old (and new)-replace-- reassemble.. otherwise you can't..

Not replacable? Bummer! My unit is 2-3 years old and battery life is down to about 10 hours or less now. I had no idea I was expected to throw away a perfectly well functioning device for lack of a battery. This seems crazy!

I no longer have my unit, but if I remember correctly, the battery is NOT user-serviceable. At least that is what the instruction manual stated.

That is the only way to change battery is to get the screws out. I haven't had to change mine yet, but you need to get the cover off. Try to make sure you have the right screwdriver to fit so you don't strip the screws.

Yes, it works fine and is very easy to replace. Battery case comes apart and you can see what to do.

no battery to replae. you charge it through your usb port on your computer or you can buy one of the outlet usb plug ins to recharge anywhere there is an electrical outlet.
