The instructions didn't mention anything to that effect but for the price, I'd buyou myself a new one.

Sorry have no idea. Mine didn't work very well for me. Sitting in a draw. Wasted my money.

No. You need the NP-FM500H REPLACEMENT BATTERY it has a groove along the mid length of the battery...it is available on Amazon.

I don't think you can replace the battery. The cord plugs right into the base. For this price, you could just buy a new one every few years if you use it that much...

Yes. Open the back and take out the old battery. The battery # is engraved on it. Or just Take the old battery to any drugstore, and they can help you find the correct replacement.

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.

According to I robot.com, all the 500 series have the same accessories and just one battery is listed on their page, so I would think so. I've had this battery for almost a year and it's still performing great! I can clean most of my small house on one charge still. I use it once or twice a week.

Actually, I noticed there are different models in the Series 5000 family... Mine is type/model 3757... Model 3757 requires 17-to-24 hours to achieve a full charge (first time.) to keep charge simply replace the handle on the charger between use, or, charging for 12 hours should return the battery to the fully charged status... I called into Oral-b Customer Service and spoke with a very polite and helpful representative with virtually no wait-time once I navigated the automated menu (requiring one numeric entry - E-Z!)

If the battery stops charging it can not be replaced by yourself. The company has a life time warranty and all you would have to do is notify the guard dog company and fill out a RMA form and send it in. They will replace the battery and send it back with no additional charge. I have had mine over 3 years and have never needed to change the battery.

Bring the burned out battery to any electronics store and just let the sales rep know that that one is burnt out and that you want the same battery. The battery on my model is still good.

Sorry, I've never tried to replace the battery, so I wouldn't know? I really don't use mine anymore and I'm looking to get rid of it. It's just collecting dust in my garage.

No you can not replace the battery it is internal. It does have the option to connect an audio cord to it so that when the batter no longer works it is still functional.

I have had no need to replace the battery. I normally leave the unit on charge overnight. A side comment is it is worth the money.

Local battery dealers or places like batteryspec.com can match up the size/type of battery if you want to change it out. Some OEMs say "Not serviceable-when worn out send to recycling centers" in manuals (to avoid liability issues), but you can open the case and change the battery. Just getting a battery will be ~1/2 the cost of a whole new pack, so it can save you some (but costs you some time).

Yes, to both questions. Plus the battery last a long time after charging. One problem. When the battery goes bad, you throw it away. No way to replace it from what others have told us.

Yes replace. They are cheap enough and they do go bad. Often it is best to buy both battery and charging cord/pack at the same time. The don't last forever.

Only by opening the case, so it can be replaced if you are comfortable doing that. However, you would not just carry a spare battery for extra charge on a trip.
