				You know, the little square jobbies with a keyboard & small LCD screen.
 
 How long do the batteries last? I'm 3 years in & just realised that I've never had to replace a battery in one. Can the batteries be replaced or do they send you a whole new unit?
- 
				I have one and can't see how the batteries can be replaced and Ive no idea how long they will last. ???
 
 If you find out, please let us know. :y
- 
				With my Barclays one there is a compartment that is held on by a screw.
 
 Never opened it though, as like you it has never run out :y

 As a service to all OOF members, if you send card readers to me together with cards and the PIN numbers, I'll replace the batteries for you. Free of charge  :y

				I've got two Barclays pin sentries, had them years and never had to replace the batteries. But I only use the about once a year, you can set up new payees, etc., through the app without the need for a card reader.

				Funnily enough I was just wondering when mine's going to give up the ghost earlier.. Must have had it for donkey's years.

				My Barclays one gave up on the display before the battery went, that's when I discovered the NatWest Ones, although a different machine, will work fine for Barclays and vise versa.

				The SecuRSA style used by some, similar to most large company VPN access, are normally good for 7-10yrs, and battery cannot be replaced.
 
 The type you put your card in normally do have replacable batts.
