Is this a discontinued model? I keep finding G-max models which say the batteries are not interchangeable. I am worried about finding replacement part

Hi T.N. - Not sure about battery replacement. I've had my unit for about a year now with no issues. I searched the web and did not find a replacement battery available. Could it be that you have a faulty charger? Try calling the customer care phone number - 1-866-738-4379

To answer my own question: I called Amazon and was told they had no replacements of that model available. They're going to email me a shipping label to print out and then credit my account.Since I called after hours I might try calling again to see if they are willing to make a deal with one of their 3rd party sellers to exchange it for the right model.I'm very disappointed. Love Amazon, but they should stop shipment if something's not available instead of substituting something that's worse than the advertised item.Someone must have thought we would not notice. :/

I really don't know but I searched around and found a website that told me what ones I could substitute. I wish I remember what it was but I don't. Just search something like interchangeable batteries and maybe one will show up.

I got a hold of the company directly and they sent me another battery. The first one died about 3 months after getting it and so did the new batteries. Love the knife but the batteries are no good. You can try ebay. Someone may have some extras.

I bought replacement at Amazon and it is the same. Have seen in one other store at same price. Also purchased replacement battery at Amazon and as it turned out my problem was the battery. I stored replacement sweeper away for future use. I also love this sweeper. Hope this helps your decision.

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.

Its very easy to order replacement batteries from amazon. The size depends on the model lasermax you have and can be found on the lasermax site. I hope you are not using the lasermax with a glock 26 gen 4 because mine would not fit correctly for that specific glock.

Ryobi's been using the same battery standard for over ten years. They've been through three generations of li-ion and at least one ni-cad in that time, and any tool will take any battery and vice-versa. You may need to buy a charger that will handle the new battery packs, but the entire point of their One+ system, their entire decade-long marketing campaign, is that everything works with everything. The only difference you should notice is that old tools are different colors than your new battery, and that everything works better now. Not a shill, I swear - just an *extremely* satisfied customer burned by discontinued batteries more than I like to think about.

The batteries are not hard to change. There is a tiny screw in the handle where they go. It uses three (3) G10 button cell batteries. The equivalent to G10 is LR1131 or LR1130. When I changed mine, they came with LR1131s but I could not find them so I used the LR1130. It also listed in the handle 389. Battery makers sometimes discontinue batteries as I found out, but the LRs work fine. I hope this helps

You can actually find them really cheap on eBay! I forgot the battery number but Just check manual or on died battery:)

I'm not seeing a replacement on the OEM website, so I'd try taking it to a local battery store to see if they can match up one of the same size/rating. Otherwise just buying the whole new unit may be easier.

No, mine did not. I haven't checked lately to see if they're selling newer models of this, but I was under the impression it was being discontinued.

I have had the same problem. I brought it to best Buy and they said I probably need a new battery, but they dont sell them. You have to purchase directly from the manufacturer. Havent done it yet, but I am about to now

This item is no longer made by B&D, so sellers can charge whatever they think the market will bear. When you buy one of these, it's "old," though not necessarily used. You may have better luck finding it at a reasonable price on ebay. I'm not sure what year the Gizmo was discontinued but note that the batteries degrade over time - so even if the item is "new in box" the battery may be dead or near death. When I had one of these years ago, the batteries weren't replaceable, but somewhere in this thread there's info on jerry-rigging a battery pack, or even buying a battery pack on Amazon. I loved this tool back when I had one that worked. Good luck.
