Some reviews stated that these cannot be re used. Is that true ? Also can you replace battery if used in carbon arrows ?

I'm not sure what you mean by re used. I shot mine 50+ times while practicing worked fine. I had an arrow pass clean through a deer and the nock itself was damaged to the point it could not be fired again but it would still luminate when I would apply pressure. I just used the battery in an older lumenok. I shoot carbon arrows and yes I have replaced batteries, wouldn't know why not.

No, these can be reused and they do have replaceable batteries. I've used them for several seasons and they are great. Just make sure you order the right size for you arrow.

I have reused mine for many deer. Yes the batteries can be changed out. Best lighted nock on the market inmy opinion. Been using for several years now.

I've used mine for years at a time. The batteries can be replaced. If I'm leaving my tree for the day, and I haven't seen a deer, I always fire an arrow at the ground to test yardage and sights. I've never had one fail on me.

I personally have had great experience out of the lumenoks. They can be reused however you have to clean them if you shoot through a deer with them because the blood does not allow the limit not to get a solid contact with the arrow shaft.

Daniel these nocks can be reused as long as they hold up and the batteries can be replaced no problem.

We still have not had to replace batteries yet. My wife played with just 4 cubes until we got a replacement for the cube that came out of the box with a dead battery. We got a replacement for the dead battery around 1 Jan, and she has been playing with all 5 cubes since. We are still using the original batteries, but I have no clue how many actual hours of playing time.Has anybody tried the inexpensive batteries that are available on Amazon yet? (See 4 Jan post above.)ww

They are not rechargeable. You have to take the center two pieces apart take out the piece in the center out and use a small Phillips head screwdriver to remove the battery cover to replace them.

Yes! They have replaceable inserts. I don't think you'll need one for a couple years. They are tough. I've shot at least 500 arrows and have not turned the deer to shoot at the other side.

I can confirm what Denise typed below. If you look at the grip handle -- where it contacts your palm -- on the MK2 there is a deeply set phillips screw that is removed to change the battery. I just spoke to a support person and asked "how do I change the battery?" He asked if there was a button or a screw, and said that it was changed to a screw because they'd had inadvertent releases of the battery on the older version. Our unit is new out of the box, but for a rechargeable battery that should last 4-5 years, I'd say go with the screw! (i.e. go with the MK2!)

I would assume so. They are rechargeable batteries and I have not had to replace them yet.

no they cannot be replaced. I've had two - the pins bent on the first one - and have not had problems with the batteries losing their charge due to age. I'm that in theory this could be an issue - I'm just saying in practical terms it has not. I try and charge the unit without removing from the helmet because that's how the pins get bent. A design flaw for sure - but in very other way the Sena is still superior. That said - it pisses me off that my first unit wasn't replaced even though the warranty had expired by a few months. It's the way good companies build good will and loyalty.

No, that is the only way I have used them. The batteries are fine after 1 month, and using them 4-5 nights a week for 8 hours or more.

Mine is in use daily, with regular recharging, and the need for a battery change has yet to occur. These don't appear to have a provision for changing batteries, but if they are kept properly recharged, I doubt that even most regular users will need to change them for a long time. I've owned dozens of electric scissors over the years, some good, some terrible, and these are, by far, the best I've owned. I can't directly answer the question, but I hope this helps.

Yes you can replace the batteries. With daily use the rechargeable batteries have lasted over 3 yrs

I am told no and the replacements are not rechargeable. They do have several years of life prior to failure.

The arrows are replaceable, if the arrow gets damaged. Yes, you can get more arrows. I get the 5/16 size of a field point.

I run them in both recurve and compound. I run stick arrows through my recurve and carbon through my compound. Both fly nice and true through either

I haven't specifically used these batteries for your purpose. I have, however, used them for XBox controllers, TV remotes, a battery powered razor, battery powered clocks, my home thermostat, and RC cars. In every case, the performance of the rechargeable batteries has met or exceeded the performance of standard batteries. Rechargeable work well enough that I haven't purchased a standard battery for a couple of years. One recommendation I would make though, is to buy a few more batteries than you need. This way you can simply swap the discharged batteries for some newly-charged ones right away. I know that I didn't answer your question directly, but hope it helps.

You can use them but they won't last very long, it's best to use deep cycle batteries that can be discharged many times, I personally use 6 volt batteries in series to get 12 volts. The more you have the better.

Probably, you CAN use them but you get what you pay for. They are also stainless so they will probably break and if they do it will be dangerous, they will shatter. Carbon steal is what you need.

all of them are replaceable if you know what you are doing, batteries are not meant to last forever, even rechargeables, i have over 100 helicopters and have changed batteries in almost everyone...if my 6 yr old can solder, so can you
