I did a quick look through the manual (link provided) and the "Specifications" section for the battery only had:

No part/ model number

Guess Canon does not think camera will outlast the battery's life?

At B&H Photo for the "Canon ZOOM Digital Monocular" in the "Accessories" no replacement battery listed.

If the battery has a part/ model number on it can try doing a online search, if not will have to contact Canon.

Well in a few years time when battery dies, I'm sure we'll see people dismantling the battery and we can get a conclusive model name for the battery. It's good to know it can be removed (and hopefully replaced). ...

If you're happy with the uniqueness of the Canon ZOOM Digital Monocular, that's all that really matters; glad you're happy with it.

Sorry I just think it is 'WAY' overpriced for what is, and what it is not—NOT a zoom but only TWO "OPTICAL" (100 & 400 EFL) focal lengths, with small f/5.6 and f/6.3 max apertures. I see no advantages that the Canon ZOOM Digital Monocular over my ZS50 which has a 24 - 720mm EFL 'ZOOM' lens—and the Canon ZOOM Digital Monocular many disadvantages to the ZS50.

ZS50; 1600 ISO

ZS50 w/ iZoom; 1161mm EFL

... Here's very comprehensive review of this pocket sized superzoom. Images look quite good after post processing ....

... 'and' downsizing images 1600x1200 pixels or 1200x900 pixels resolutions.

Cheers,
Jon
