Chord Hugo Battery lifespan?

i have no idea - mine is still going strong and my Hugo was bought about 3 months after they were launched - i understand Chord Electronics will replace the battery should it need doing so - I am assuming that is chargeable

Very good, Simon 

Mine is certainly chargeable 

I would not worry about the Hugo battery life at all. 

I keep mine on charger at home plugged in, and no harm will come to the battery, as per advice from Mr Rob Watts.

When the time comes, take it to your dealer, but the battery really should last at least 5 years or even longer. 

The batteries can also be changed by yourself if you are familiar with basic soldering, otherwise any competent technician can do it, per chord advice, once you get the replacement batteries from them.

My Hugo has just been sent back to the dealer for a problem which I am assuming may be the battery. I am hoping not as the battery is only covered under warranty for 18 months and I bought this unit about 20 months ago.

I would still not worry about it, I damaged mine by plugging in the wrong charger but Chord repaired it, and fine (I did have to pay for repairs though)

After doing a little searching I have found the exact battery replacement ( ENIX MGL2811) for £14.80 each, on a well known online battery supplier.

So I cant see eventual replacement being all that expensive
