  • solder the new battery in and test the charging before reassembly.
  • the new battery I ordered was slightly larger but it fit with no problems. I found the wires inside this device to be fairly robust and did not have any issues with wires breaking or dislodging.

Step 6

  • When I re-assembled I used small amounts of gorilla glue for both the case and the rubber cover. it worked very well and has worked well since. for more details I put together a short video you can check out.

I accomplished this battery replacement. I was successful. However in my opinion, this device was not meant to have this repair done. It is a “fiddley” affair, but possible. I think it took me two hours, at my leisure. Probably better off replacing the device. Unless…. your just that type who enjoys fiddling around.
