Can you buy batteries for Ted or once it's dead it's dead for good

Yes. Ted takes 3 AA (1.5 volt) batteries (that come with it when new. There is an easy opening velcro strip in the back for easy access to change the batteries if and when they need to be replaced. He'll be back swearing up a storm in minutes.

Being a Ted owner myself, i have no idea. That is a great question. Someone ,somewhere has the answer. I guess if Amazon can get the answer it will help a lot of people. Sorry.

My battery was dead when it arrived. I contacted Midland and they sent me a new battery. Given that these are not lithium-ion batteries they will continue to die out pretty quick. I'm rather disappointed by that.

Mine came with a spare set of batteries for the remote and the tags. You should be able to get batteries wherever batteries are sold -- I have seen them in my local supermarket. Certainly Radio Shack would carry them.

According to the manufacturer it is not, it's called planned obsolescence. They don't want you to change it because you are not going to buy a new one and it's bad for the business.Technically it is possible to change it, spare batteries are available on Amazon and elsewhere and you will need to know how to use a soldering iron.As one guy with a bloody bandage on his finder was demonstrating how it was done on YouTube, "It is possible, but it requires a bit of skill" he said.

Yes but they're often dead, but at least you can go to any place that sells batteries like it and buy them in packs of 3 for like 6 bucks.

I doubt parts are available, and why would you bother? It's basically a "throw away" device. The non-replaceable nickle cadmium battery has proven poorly and does not age well. For $20 something buy a new one (best to choose a different brand so as to avoid the battery charging issues you can read about in the reviews).

Yes, as the battery died (considered a consumable which cannot be replaced) that is exactly what I did for some time until the transformer died too. Unless the design/quality has changed there are probably better alternatives on the market.

We never had to buy a battery. Sorry. You might trying asking Batteries Plus if you have one in the area. Otherwise a music store that sells it would be able to tell you.

I don't think they sell it like that. You can use regular batteries but they die very very fast (2 hours maybe). Even the rechargable batteries from other companies die fast, but you can save money there. The recharging pack is all i've seen from LeapPad besides the adapter that you actually plug into the wall. They can't move around but it works if you are just sitting in one room.

They sell power supplies at computer stores. Now they are small and can supply computer's, radio's, or MP3 players with power when batteries are gone. I would check "Power Supply" in Amazon. There you should be able to find a lot to offer you what you need at a good price.

open the little plastic battery holder and you'll see how they set in there. Take the dead batteries to an electronics or hardware store, buy new ones, and re-set. It was easy.

Only when it's dead or You will shorten it's life, same as a cordless phone used to be , eventually they need new batteries from keeping them in the craddle. I wait got everything to die first , even my cell phome.

You can use any brand of rechargeable batteries, otherwise if you use it much you will be wasting a lot of money on throw away batteries.

You are lucky. Mine didn't last long enough to need new batteries. It was a complete waste of money. Sorry I couldn't help.
