fines for battery problems are huge....putting the word battery on customs papers can often mean the entire shipment will get held for 2++ weeks depending on the country how deeply stuffed the pickle is up that customs officers butt...glen could go to dollarama and get a battery and save ola some huge fines paperwork red tape and etc...maybe go steal one from a smoke detector for 10 minutes lol adding a battery can put different customs and duties taxes on the whole shipments value... you want a battery so bad youre willing to pay another $50 in taxes just so its in the package? a $2 battery is a ridiculous risk and headache in reality...dont blame ola....blame your government

I ordered a Solar a week ago, and I noticed the no battery statement then.

I have to agree. I was expecting hell knows what to be wrong. The battery is against the law to ship in many countries without an insane amount of paperwork and inspection delays by customs in multiple countries. And a minor issue that can be filed on an upper fret, which is a very common occurrence due to WC and/or a bit of fret sprout - likely the latter with shipping during a very wet season internationally? A bit dramatic here, lol. This isn’t like Glen. I wonder if he’s feeling ok, lol. Glen we ❤ you, but are you for real this time?!

The last batteries I bought were Maximal Force 9-volt 560 Mah, and I'm guessing you can get more Mah these days. Look for ones that give the largest amount of recharge cycles. Some of the newer ones come with a USB C port so you don't even have to buy the charger. I see one brand from EBL gives a 2-way splitter so you can charge 4 nine-volt. The last lithium battery I bought was a Kentl lithium AA battery that came with its own 4 port charger. They didn't have the USB C port built into each cell, but I didn't want that at the time, It seemed to make more sense than having the USB C port taking up space on the battery itself.

Lots of people don't ship batteries for various legal or practical reasons and it explicitly states no battery on the site. Kind of hissy fitting there, bud.

I think this is a bit nitpicky, Glen. I'd look up if there are restrictions to shipping batteries overseas. Some countries get really difficult when it comes to batteries, they may have erred on the side of caution. Besides, why don't you have those as a spare? I have a couple of rechargeable ones laying around just for things like this.

I keep some rechargeable 9 volts around for just this situation, my LTD 6 string bass has an active EQ and won't work without a battery either. And like other posters, I would be worried about battery leakage; how long did that thing sit before it was purchased, could be awhile for some instruments.

I'm pretty sure the lack of batteries has to do with restrictions on shipping them internationally. There are ways to do it, but they have very specific requirements on packaging and often are VERY limited, for instance being limited to a pair or perhaps 3 AA or AAA batteries, for something like a remote.

I ordered something that was supposed to come with batteries included. Just little button cell batteries. The shipper out of China refused the package and sent it back to the sender because it had batteries in it. They sender had to open my item at the warehouse, remove batteries, re-package, and send it out again. Delayed the arrival by three weeks. I wonder if my experience is becoming more common so batteries just aren’t being included in overseas shipping as often.

As daft as guitarists can be, keeping a spare rechargeable 9V in your collection for a tuner, or pedal, electroacoustic or Active Pickups is essential. You never know when you might need one and any piece of hardware that needs them is going to run out of that juice the moment you depend on it. I'm not sure if you let this down by not having one, (hint, theres always a spare in the fire alarm) or if Solar could have packes one but as others have suggested it would likely cause issues with shipping.

Glenn, usually i really like your reviews, but i don't agree on your point with the battery. Imagine that guitar sitting in the warehouse waiting to be shipped with a battery in it. Batterys usually don't like to be thrown around or just sitting around for too long. They will explode at some point. I understand your plug and play approach, but i'd much rather just throw in a battery than having to clean its toxic remainings out of there. Sorry if my english is not perfect...

I was as pissed off as you after shelling out that amount of money but it's standard practice now apparently. By the way, any news on the ELE update? I'm sitting here drooling on what it's got promised.
