I have not been able to find any information, so hopefully someone in here can help me out. I have the Motorola HS810 Bluetooth headset for my V600, and want to know what kind of battery it has inside. If in 2 years the battery goes out on it, how in the world do you replace it! The thing is sealed so tight, I don't know what you would have to do!

Anyway, the main question is, is there a Li-Ion or Ni-Cd battery in it...

I don't believe you can replace the battery...when it 'goes out', the HS810 gets tossed in the trash. I don't think any of the BT headsets have replaceable batteries.

OK got it. Do you know what kind of battey it has inside? I wan to make sure I am doing all I can when charging it to make it last as long as possible. If it has a Li-Ion, then I can charge it whenever and don't want it to ever get fully discharged, but if it has a Ni-Cd, then I need to cycle the battery every once in a while to prolong the life. Thanks.

Good point...not sure what type of battery it is.

I know this info has to be out there, anyone else know what kind of battery the HS810 uses?

Tony E! · 01-17-2005, 9:56 PM

Interesting, i couldn't find anything not even specs on the Moto web site..

It is lithium-polymer. It will last as long as a lithium ion battery but is significantly lighter. Not a real leap from a lithium ion battery, but it's part of the reason the headset is so light.

so the battery is replaceable? or do we just throw it away like Cwick suggested...

Needs to be recycled....I'm sure as Bluetooth headsets become more popular this is going to become an environmental issue.

Apple has gotton allot of attention from environmentalist recently because ipods are so small now they seem to be disposable...but there are still allot of bad things for the environment in those little packages.

Most consumer electronics need a better way to reclaim the raw materials that produce them. One of my customers does environemental work and that is becoming a big part of their business.

Tony E! · 01-18-2005, 8:12 PM

Agreed, what i meant by throwing it away is of course disposing it in the proper manner, i was just quoting a previous post...

Thank you for answering my question. I appreciate it!

Tony E! · 01-19-2005, 12:35 AM

One question still remains unanswered, is the battery replaceable?

I'm holding the headset right now, and it looks like other than breaking the thing apart, there is no way to get inside it. There is a Motorola logo on top that I might be able to pry off, but I don't think that would get me anywhere!

I highly doubt there is any way to replace it. The cost of replacing it, even if you could, would be similar to purchasing a new headset.

Seems that way thanks Goodman...

OK, I tore mine apart. It's a simple battery, replaceable if there's a soldering iron handy.
Bad news?
No ID on the battery that I can find.
So, my headset ends up in the land fill.
Not going to replace it, either. Can't pay $50 a year for an ear piece.
Manufacturers are just going to have to understand that batteries HAVE to be replaceable.

I use my BT headsets all the time, and I still have my original Motorola HS 820's I bought 3 or 4 years ago. I am currently using the Motorola S9 and H700 models. My oldest H700 is about a year old, and still have no problems with it.

I have mentioned here before (and maybe even in this very thread) that in order to make these headsets small the battery is not replaceable. Personally, my thoughts are that the cost of purchasing a replacement battery (even if it was available) would be more than a headset a few years old is worth. If the Headset is within a year from the time you purchased it then it is still under warranty. Motorola will replace it for you.

Problem solved.
A local office supply place twice in 6 months has Motorola headsets for $5 after rebate.
Just bought a new H550.
Providing these rebates continue, I'll be buying a new headset every 6 months and toss the old one in the trash....working or not.

I would disagree with throwing out a perfectly good headset. I can see the logic of purchasing a spare, and if you use it buy another spare when they go on sale again. I still have & use Motorola headsets I bought 3 & 4 years ago.
