Yes, a tool is provided to remove/replace the flip cover and the battery. It isn't quite as simple as changing a flashlight batt. but it shouldn't prove to ba a challenge to most.

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!

Yes, it isn't really that difficult, but it is a little unique. You have to take out the key part, which is the same way you would change the battery. Then you will have just the old shell and the circuit board. There is a little hole in the front of the circuit board thing (in the yellowish part) and there are two holes about evenly spaced on the green part of the board. What I did was use a metal tooth cleaning device (like a pick) and pried the board out by first pulling on the front slot in the yellow part, then I used the hook of the pick to get into one of the round holes in the board itself and pulled it the rest of the way out. Use firm, but gentle pressure. I figure if I broke one hole I would still have the other one. Just be careful, take your time, and be gentle. I'll try to include a pic if possible.

I do not know, I would think changing the battery would be much easier. Sorry I can not help with that.

Hi there Courtney. Yes you can change the battery. U will need a very small Phillips screwdriver to open the battery case.

There's a hole in the housing on one side of the battery, and a door that swings open on the other side. You just push the battery through the door using a paper clip, install the new battery, and close the door.

Actually there is a way to replace batteries, to open unit locate 2 short screws at the "cork" end. Taking those out will allow you to remove brushed metal end. Then on the side is 4 spots of rubber which cover 4 longer screws. Now be careful you don't dump out contents but now the unit halves open up. You will see a battery pack that is connected to a printed circuit board. Either unsolder off the circuit board OR snip and strip the wires and attach new battery which if you search on Google the printed specification of the battery.. Simple

twist/ turn the unit to open for mounting & wiring. There is no internal battery.

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.

There is no opening to access the batteries. However, it would not be very difficult to cut the fuzzy red material to make an opening, replace the batteries, then sew or velcro it back up.

Doesn't look like it can be replaced. Can't find a way to access the battery.

It can be tricky. You basically have to open it up (pushing on the gray button on the top - look at the back, it should say "open") and then sliding out the little battery slot. If you're facing the front of the machine, the battery slot is located on the left hand side, but you can't access it until you pop the thing open. It's also a replacement that's needed, there's no re-charging to be done. Good luck!

If you lift up the light panel, there should 2 screws you turn which opens the battery compartment. Easy to replace

I don't think so, it's a non removable battery so replacing it is almost not possible
