Can the "built-in" battery be replaced by the customer?

It may be possible to replace since there are small screws on the back but I would seek advice from the company first.

Yes you can use it, it's the same battery. The age of good customer service is dwindling. Part of that experience is providing education for the customer. Some people just don't take much time from their busy day to update their knowledge of a product to better service the money makers, the customers. I hope I have answered your question in full.

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=

AFAIK, no user-serviceable parts. Battery built-in, according to manufacturer.

On versions that have the built in battery, I am not sure there is a way to replace it. If you do have problems with one that has a built in battery, you may have to contact the manufacturer. Some models don't have built in batteries so you just use regular AA batteries.

No, the user cannot replace the batteries. This company does have a user replace model. My batteries are still good after 3 years.

As far as I can tell, the rechargeable batteries are built-in. I'm not even sure if they're replaceable.

No, it is posted on I fixit.com. Not simple, I'm moderately technically skilled, and had no problem replacing the battery.

Nope, the batter cannot be taken out at all. Ultrabooks like this have the battery integrated with the motherboard. You can possibly ask the manufacturer about an upgrade, but it probably isn't easy requiring you to send it in for weeks.One option is the possibility of getting external power through usb batteries. These are fairly new devices which are useful to extend battery life.

Yes, but you will have to crack it open to change it. Very light technical knowlodge required. You can find lots of tutorial and videos showing you how to open it for many reasons, then, you will eventually see how to change the battery. It´s fairly easy and simple, it´s not Apple style inside.

I have owned two of these units and I could never figure out how to replace the battery. It may be possible, if you are more technical than me. I found that the power cords go out, but you can buy very inexpensive new ones on Amazon.

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.

From what I can find, it appears that the battery is user replaceable. However, I don't know if a 6-cell battery is available.

I haven't yet had the need to replace the battery. I did however take a look at it yesterday as I was also curious and the only thing I can think of is using a straight screwdriver on the two screws (assuming they're screws) on the face of the device. You can see the battery within. There is no way they'd make a device you can't change the battery out on... it's gotta be it.

No, it isn't: I would contact the seller and let them know. Just the fact that the battery back up stopped working is reason enough to request a replacement.

No. The battery lasts very long, about a year. After that you can just change it by the new one.

No, the rechargeable battery inside is not replaceable. I use mine almost every day for over 8 months without any change in battery life. If you're worried about the battery not being able to hold a charge in a few years, then you may want to contact the manufacture to see if they offer a battery replacement service.
