Has anyone tried to replace the batteries inside the battery pack?

My batteries are the same B812-01 1.5AH 16.2Wh 10.8V/12V. The Charger is Dremel model 876 with output of 3.5-10.8 V DC 1.5 A 12v MAX. With out numbers it was hard to tell. Larry

Yes, are you having a problem? It is a tight fit, but after a few uses it works pretty good. No problems now.

Mine came in a full kit with 2 battery's, charger, and extra tool package on line, www.dremel.com. Surely you can find this out for your self where ever they sell Dremel products. Most all places like Lowes, Home Depot, or any local Hardware Store handles Dremel products. If it came with your tool it works. Contact Dremel for these answers, or read your book. Larry

Yes! The screw is really hard to open and I basically stripped mine trying to change the batteries. It's like the screw isn't made very well.

I had to. However I think the new ones are made so the battery can be replaced. I would check.

No. Both have worked very well. Have you reinstalled the entire thing, including the batteries?

Nope. Didn't work. I even went and bought replacement batteries hoping that would work as it was for a white elephant party. That didn't work either. The screws were even rusted on the battery compartment. Disappointing.

I haven't replaced them yet, but I haven't used it much either. I did have problems getting it to work when I first put batteries in it.

Yes, exactly the same issue. I have not tried new batteries as the set I just put in was new and we only did one charge off of them. I agree that's pretty poor. If that's consistent, I think we'll return it for another one and see if the next is better.

the battery is not designed to be replaceable. I have read that some people have opened the back and found that the battery is soldered in.

i tried changing batteries but that did not matter even after a software update was done.. maybe you will have better luck....

My son's did the same thing. We replaced the batteries with no success. We had already pitched the packaging and the garbage has been picked up so we can't return it to TRU. However, I may go purchase a new one and put the bad one in the package and return it for a refund. However, I'm afraid the new one will have the same problem.

The battery is enclosed in the unit.If it is even replaceable it would have to be done by someone else I would think and even then would probably just be cheaper to replace the unit.

Yes, you can replace the batteries. They are a 3V Lithium, type CR2032. Hope this helps.

Yes! Open the battery compartment and remove the piece of plastic. Presto! They all work now!

You might be able to. Unscrew the sides and if the rechargeable battery isn't soldered in, it might be replaceable.

Yes. That is what I did. I used Velcro though so I could replace batteries easily.

Yes, the battery can be replaced. Remove the two screws on the top, then unplug the black top from the battery pack. The battery pack is held on with some clear silicone, so you have to pry it off with a putty knife or some other tool that is thin and flat. I don't recall if it had three or four rechargeable batteries within a rubberized outer covering. I purchased one at Fry's Electronics for around $14. Very easy to replace. Wayne
