Can I get a battery to replace in the compilot? Original seems shot - after charging, will connect with aids for only a few minutes, then disconnect.

Do not know about battery replacement but have had issues over years with iPhone and Phonak Pilot not charging due to incomplete connection for charging. Connection at pilot base unit or at plug could be problem. Company that sold me pilot has been very helpful in past and probably would know if battery replacement is possible. Also, my audiologist had personnel able to repair hearing aids and accessories. Yours may also be able to help.

I sent mine in thru my hearing aid company because mine was doing the same thing. I paid to have it fixed Instead of replacing the battery they sent me a whole new compilot.

Hmm, good question. I wonder if the connection to the battery is bad? Maybe it was connected for the first 14 hours and then got jarred loose somehow? I would probably take the battery out and put it back in, making sure that the contacts seem to be clean and touching. If that doesn't do anything, I would call a local battery store and see if they have any way of testing the battery to see if it is good. If there is nothing obvious wrong with the battery, I would probably call the company that installed the unit and see if they have any suggestions. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Since you're disconnecting the air bag, you should disconnect the battery NEGATIVE terminal first. If you can replace a disc drive or a hard drive you've got it made. Two covers and screws (just above steering column) removes airbag then two screws each for buttons. The cable disconnects should be studied first, a small flat blade is needed on one side before pulling. The harness routing was tricky for my huge hands. Reassemble and cruise.

Replacement batteries are widely available on ebay or amazon. a fresh batt can last three days on mine. i prefer the docking station for charging also available amazon

In my case the contact needle pivots for easy battery replacement. If yours does not pivot, try gently lifting the contact with a pair of tweezers just enough to remove the battery with a second pair of tweezers and replacing it with a fresh battery. Good Luck!

The battery sits inside the black "cockpit" and is a 350mAH "pouch." It uses the same connector type as my Wakera helicopter. The battery can be unplugged and slid out

The new style of battery worked with my copter. I'm not sure what model you have. The above "body" kit does not contain a battery, but the above parts kit works with my copter, too. Hope that helps.

I have had mine for about a year. It connects well and I use it regularly. I have used it on long flight over 5 hours with no issues. You might have gotten a bad one or it might just need a longer inicial charge. Hope this helps.

I have had this computer for approximately 14 months and my battery holds charge now for only about an hour to 90 minutes. I am having difficulty finding another one, can someone please tell me what replacement battery would work? thanks!

probably the battery is defective, contact the manufacturer for a replacement.

Sorry for your problem with the battery install. If the new battery is not defective, sounds like the main unit is defective. I obtained the batteries as a gift for my daughter. She installed the new batteries and selected the option of new batteries installed. Then left the unit in the home dock, charging overnight. Went from running less that 5 min to completing the whole area for approx 50 min never having to go home for a recharge. Runs like new again

It has been awhile, but initial charge of 40 hours is too much. You have a defective product. Possibly a bad battery.

Hi Skyhawk, you can send the unit for service if you wanted to replace the battery. Thanks -Sean

Nope. Put the provided AA batteries in the transmitter. Plug the flight battery into the socket provided in the transmitter, and let it charge until the charging light stops blinking. Read the manual while you wait. Check that the elevator is flat (in line with) the horizontal stabilizer on the tail. If not, carefully open or close the little U in the elevator control rod to make it so. Probably will not be necessary. You can toss the plane into the grass to see if it has a tendency to pitch up or down and correct with the little U if so. When the battery is charged, you can trim the elevator with the trim tab also. Have fun. Nope. Put the provided AA batteries in the transmitter.

I've had no issues with mine at all. Try replacing the batteries first then disconnect the clip where it connects together leave off for 30 sec. Then plug it in is what I'd do. Good luck

First thing I would try is remove all power from the panel. Disconnect the battery(and check it's voltage as this is the usual culprit), unplug the ribbon cable from the terminal board, reconnect after a few minutes. If the problem persists, replacement may be necessary. Since they've made a few changes (most notably the ribbon cable connector) replacement will require both terminal board and panel. The controller housing and internal parts mounting haven't changed, so replacing with the same model would be fairly easy.
