Almost excellent Apr 18, 2009
By R. C. Marsh I have used this activity meter since last Decemeber and now give it as a routine gift. It works very well. It is able to retain information for at least a couple of weeks without downloading. It is able to take water, mud, heat, and a whole lot of knocking around. It is more accurate than any pedometer I have tried; and I've tried more than a half dozen. One problem is getting the program to load-up on the first try.
The product instructions instruct us to replace the whole unit when the battery goes dead. This includes the necessity of buying a brand new adaptor every time one buys a new activity meter. That's wasteful but I would feel better if we didn't have to buy a new adaptor every time as well. Overall, I strongly endorse the product.

Have been using this product for about a month now. I find that I get a high seeing the progress in my activities daily.
Downside, having to buy another in about 4-6 months as the battery in the monitor is not user replaceable. I Would pay for factory servicing if available and if reasonably priced to have the battery changed. THis would be the environmentally correct thing to offer.
Software can be finicky at times, but then again, my computer is almost 10 years old and that might be the problem.

I have the wireless Lifesource BP cuff and scale so I was excited to get the activity monitor as well. However, I was unable to get it to load. Despite uninstalling and reinstalling, this little gadget is dead. I reported it to Amazon and they sent another one in the mail. It ALSO doesn't load. Are you kidding me? What kind of terrible workmanship is this? Are the devices old annd their batteries dead? And what is the point of $50 every few months to replace a battery? Come on..green up! Guess I'm sending two of these back to Amazon. I'm very disappointed.

Lasts half as long as stated.... May 10, 2010

My husband and I are very competitive so you can imagine how much use this device receives. Love everything about it except it's battery life. Seems like we have to buy a new one every 3 to 4 months. Yesterday mine was at 49% strength and it died. Registers as 99% now but wont upload my steps. This product needs (1) competition or (2) replaceable battery.

How to replace the battery on Lifesource XL-20 Activity Monitor Jan 19, 2011
By Private Citizen The Lifesource XL-20 Step Activity Monitor is a great product that is easy to use and works well. However, as other people have noted here, there is only one major problem: The device runs on a battery which (according to the company) cannot be replaced. That's very disappointing, because it means that you have to shell out $75 every 3-4 months. The company says that the battery will last a year, but I have not found that to be quite inaccurate; it's really just a few months. I suppose the company hopes to make a lot of money from selling you a zillion of these devices. I just hate to throw away a perfectly good little wireless computer just because they didn't design in a way to recharge or replace the battery.
Good news! If you have a little bit of skill with tools and a little patience and you know how to work with a soldering iron, you can re-engineer it so that you never have to buy a second one. The device is powered by a non-rechargeable 3V CR2032 Lithium Battery which costs about $2.00 at Radio Shack or just about any place that sells batteries.
After your original battery goes dead, you have nothing to lose. Remove the two clip screws and clip, then four tiny screws and the silver back plate. Carefully pull the entire battery/circuit board assembly out of the case. Remove the battery and round black plastic bracket. This will take some force, but don't be shy. On the circuit board, there are two points (on opposite edges of the circuit board, on the surface farthest from the battery) which are labeled (+) and (-). Now you need to find a way to connect your new battery to these points and you're back in business!
There are two ways to do this: 1) internal or 2) external to the case. External is best so that you can easily replace the battery (but not as water proof). To do this, get a matching coin cell battery holder (e.g. off of a trashed PC motherboard), drill a hole(s) in the black case for wires. You will later attach it to the top of the plastic case with epoxy. Then wire it to the circuit board with two wires through a hole(s). Be sure to connect the + of the battery to the + terminal on the circuit board, or you might destroy the electronics. Check to be sure that the device is working by waving it up and down for a few minutes and then get it to sync with the PC (where your Lifesource software is installed and which has the ActiLink USB Transceiver). If it works, epoxy the battery holder and screw everything back together. If not, recheck your battery connections.
Now, when the battery dies, just pop out the old one and replace it for $2.00. You'll have the satisfaction of not letting the company sell you a $2 battery for $75. For me, that's priceless!
Enjoy!
p.s. Hey LifeSource...get with the 21st Century! Your planned obsolescence strategy is out of the 1950's. Give people a way to replace or recharge the battery. Free idea for you: foot motion charges the battery.
