Yes, quite easily. Use a Phillips head precision screwdriver size 1/32 inches or 3/64 inches to remove the small screw along the side of the pedometer casing. Remove the small section of the casing and the old battery. Install a new cell battery , size LR43 or 386 ( Energizer). Replace the casing cover and screw. After the new battery has been installed you will have to reset the clock and re-enter your body weight and stride length. Dr. JCA

Try this link http://24hourbattery.com/ . I just purchased some button cells. You can purchase one battery or all the way up to a case quantities. Most other sites require you to purchase in two packs, at a much higher price.

Yes, Marilyn, you can replace the battery. The batteries, however, are really hard to find. The Omron takes an LR-43 battery. I finally found one at Radio Shack and it cost $6.75. I really like my Omron pedometer. I bought two of them on Amazon because I liked them so much. Both batteries were dead within a month or so which was very disappointing. They must have been in storage for quite a while. I like the pedometer mostly because it closes and there can be no accidental pushing of buttons. It also has adjustments for firmness of step and step length. I really like my little Omrons. Bonnie

yes, you can replace the battery. taking the back off of the pedometer is tricky, i actually stripped the screw with my first one, so i just kept the back on with a piece of tape, and that worked well. the battery is essentially a watch batt, so just take the old one that you have removed from the pedometer and you can match it at the battery display. i kept my first omron for years until i lost it. i replaced it with another omron, same model as the first one. and i was able to replace the old battery as needed

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

I guess that's possible, I have had no issues at all with mine. I believe if you go on their website or call them, you can order a new battery.

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.

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

Yes it can be replaced by the consumer. The one side cover opens and the battery comes right out.

It is not designed for the owner to replace the battery, however if you are handy you can open it up and replace the battery, it's soldered in so you should be comfortable with a soldering iron.

yes. They are about $7 to replace (and can be found on Amazon) but the one included should last for many years. Keep the plastic tab that comes with the battery. You can use it to prolong battery life when you are not using it. Just don't ever crank the power with the tab in place.

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

No. The battery lasts very long, about a year. After that you can just change it by the new one.

No, it isn't: I would contact the seller and let them know. Just the fact that the battery back up stopped working is reason enough to request a replacement.

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.

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.

The battery can be replaced. Take a look at e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsnL7BTUH1o

We have not needed to replace the battery. I suggest you contact the manufacturer. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

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.

There doesn't seem to be any way that an owner/user was intended to easily replace the battery. Having said that, I hadn't had to replace the battery so far. Its been my experience that most any battery can be replaced regardless of whether or not the manufacturer planned for that contingency. In this case, the base appears to be removable which "I assume" will give you access to the battery. Once you have the battery in hand, it becomes an Internet search to find and purchase a suitable replacement.
