Is the battery replaceable once it stops holding the charge.Also how many charge cycles/Years it can go through.

The Garmin D2 uses a lithium-ion rechargeable battery. The D2 battery passes the Garmin requirement that the battery should have greater than 75% capacity after 500 cycles. How many years is a question of how frequently the user is discharging the watch. Once a week would give you roughly 10 years before the battery was down to 75%. 500 cycles is by no means the end of the battery's life, but capacity starts to drop off more drastically after that and can vary from cell to cell.

No, it is not replaceable, and although it may go 10 years with weekly charging, it only lasts a day per charge, it should last about 1.4 years before it becomes landfill. That makes it cost about $1.16 a day to wear it.I'm shocked by the poor performance of Garmin wearable devices.

I am not sure on that..I have never had any problems with mine. I have had one besides this one for about7-8 years and it still holds a long charge.

Good question. I never had to replace battery since it is rechargeable. A personal bad habit is that I watch tv all night. So I've experienced normal charge can last over 12 hours of continuous use. Then it recharges during the day while I'm working. Also on weekends I use it during the day as well, but between uses I slip it back into the charger. I hope that helps.

It doesn't look like the battery can be replaced. I had mine for a couple of months and it holds it's charge very well. A simple plug to wall charger or computer with its USB cable and it charges with no problems. It holds a pretty good charge for couple of days-depending how much u listen.

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.

Sorry, The Battery is not user replaceable. You need to send to service center or to a professional for replacing a battery

It is a built in rechargeable battery and is not replaceable. Good product though

I don't think there's any easy way to get into this thing to change the battery, but you won't need to think about replacing the battery for a LONG time. Battery life is VERY good on a single charge (about 25 hours), and if you really need to run it longer than that between charges, you can plug it into a car charger or AC with an appropriate "power only" adapter.

OTOH, I've been using mine for well over a year every single day. So long as you don't let the battery run to completely dead, you should have zero problem. As was said in the previous answer, no, the battery is not replaceable. I still hold my Healthmate Forever units are the best units on the market. I still use my old 8AB unit a great deal as well. Please see my prior review of the unit.

It is a lithium ion battery and should last for a long time when charged properly. I am not sure how many charge cycles that is, but I would guess around 1000

No, it's not considered user replaceable. Though here is a video of someone taking it apart, and he shows how you would replace the battery if you're adventurous and careful, and if batteries are available: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI1Lm_-1djY&mode=related&search=

But, to your second question, the battery is not replaceable. There are sites on the internet where you can find out how to replace the battery though. My guess is that by the time the battery dies it will be time for a new model anyway. The battery should last at least 5 years I am being told.

It is replaceable. If you use it less than 5 minutes per use a lithium battery should last a year or so.

It's an internal battery. Doesn't seem like it's one that you can swap out. I have had no issue with the battery and it seems to have a decent life.

I am not sure, since I have not had to replace the battery. I will tellyou this I have had it for over a year. However, it does not get used all the time.

The battery can't be replaced by you. It needs to be sent in. As for how long they will last before replacement, i don't know. A long time probably. I've only owned one for a few months so i can't be the judge on that. But my friend has had his for a few years and he uses it a lot. His is still working fine on the original battery.

I'm not sure if the battery can be replaced, most likely no. What I do know is that I played mines for about 8 hours at full volume before the battery died so I'd say that's decent. The type of battery it is you would probably get a couple hundred recharges. You may want to alternate between using it till the battery is completely drained and using it while charging. It will help to extend the battery life. Hope this helps.
