Hi Carol
It looks to me like you can't change the battery yourself which is a bit of
a pain. I wish it had cells you could change like the Colorino does, but I
can't remove the back to find out. I must admit I've had the unit three
years or so and have only needed to charge it once!
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Jackie does the latest ColorTest take replacement batteries, so that it
doesn't have to be shipped back for a battery change?
