you CAN rpelace the batteries, but it requires some bravery and some soldering skills. There is a web site somewhere that describes how to do it. I did mine about 6 months ago. general replacement is take siren unit out, take it apart, unsolder batteries, pry them loose from the glue, glue new ones on, resolder, reassemble and then put it back in. Took me about an hour. The batteries were something like $10 plus shipping on the net.
