Mine has a new battery set in - we used the 1000mAh ones from Maplins as the original batteries are 600mAh or similar. We were not sure that the charger would like the types available now - 2000mAh and higher - so chose the smallest value available. They work perfectly. Cost was about &pound;10 for a packet of 12 I think and I had a lot of spare batteries!!<br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/146094.aspxFri, 03 Oct 2008 18:59:17 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:146094Medogsfat0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/146094.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=146094<p>If you are handy with a soldering iron it isn&#39;t too difficult. I have done this successfully - as have other beoworld members. Simply buy a compatible AA&nbsp;4 cell battery pack, There is nothing special about the original Ni Cad pack fitted to these, try searching ebay for battery packs intended for rechargible remote control model cars etc.....</p><p>Welcome to Beowor;d.</p><p>Chris</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/146087.aspxFri, 03 Oct 2008 18:16:11 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:146087Russ0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/146087.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=146087<p>Batteries in the BeoLink 7000 are intended to be changed by an authorised service center only.&nbsp; You&#39;ll have a merry timetrying to get them for yourself, and then soldering them in.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/146085.aspxFri, 03 Oct 2008 17:49:27 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:146085modart0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/146085.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=146085<p>How do you change the bateries and where do you get them?</p><p>Thanks</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
