As I understand it, the battery in the Redmote isn't user-replaceable. Does that mean the unit would have to be returned for a new battery? Or is it more likely that it's not easily user-replaceable?

could be recharched when attached to the brain, maybe .... as anything around here at the moment - just guessing :blink:
 
I'm pretty handy with a screwdriver and a soldering iron, so if the battery is something that's commonly available, I wouldn't have a problem replacing it on my own. That is, of course, if the case isn't permanently sealed.

Does anyone know what type of battery is being used? Just curious.

It'll be a big deal for me and lots of international customers.

What's so bad about user replaceable anyway?

To make it small enough I think they had to put the battery in a place that made it not user replaceable.

You could always buy or rent a 2nd REDmote while yours is in the shop.
 
It's not like the RED Mote size is such a critical factor.

Make it an inch thicker and let us replace those batts!

I'm sure it won't have to become a brick to allow us that.

That's the point Pietro! As I'm living in Austria I have the same concerns. Where's the problem to build it recharchable? Not much bigger, needs only mini plug and we're goin' .......... :emote_head_explode:
 
Just to put this discussion into a perspective.

I am using my laptop every single day, been using it for over a year now. Been using my iPhone for almost three years now, charging it pretty much 1 - 2 times a day (heavy use).

In other words: unless you are going to use your Redmote 24/7, there will be quite a while before a battery replacement becomes necessary - if ever.
 
If it is LiFePo4, then it may never need replacing (80% capacity after 4000 cycles).
