...Here are some quotes from Philips customer support:
"We do not manufacture and sell replacement batteries for the unit." and "We apologize to inform you that the battery is not replaceable. It is an internal part of the portable DVD player and you cannot purchase it anywhere."
Also, Philips told me,

Advantages: Large Screen, Portable Disadvantages: None

The screen on this model is 8.5 inches which is larger than most other portable dvd players that I have seen on the market This handy ...
