Hi Hazel
The battery is user replaceable. I use my VRS a lot each day, and I charge
it roughly twice a week, it's ace!
Kind regards,

Jackie the battery life is one of the things I am concerned about.
Most devices don't last any time at all so most of the time we remove
them and replace them with batteries we can charge ourselves.If the set
in the VRS go down we can just put in some charged up.
Is this possible with the VRS?
