Hi guys,

 

Is the battery in the Beo5 self replaceable? Mine is almost dead, it only keeps it's charge a few hours. A pity since I really like the Beo5.

Provided you have the correct size splined screw driver and a new replacement battery, you can replace the battery yourself.

Have a look

Is the battery available from elsewhere than B&O?

Possible, but I have never seen them.

The batteries are made by Sanyo NI-MH model # 2HR-4/5AAU and are 2.4 volt

Dealer price was pretty steep at 60 euro, just as a heads up to the rest of you. 

 

Got it today, and is now changed thanks to Keith's instructions. 🤒
