Step 1 — Outer Casing
Four round, plastic plugs are located on the back of the device.
Using a metal spudger, carefully pry up the plastic covers.
The covers are all glued on, so be careful not to scar the casing when prying them off. If
possible, use a spudger or plastic opening tool to remove them.
Step 2
Remove the four 1.8 cm-long T15 Torx Security screws from the outer case.

Step 3
Carefully open up the casing.
The top button pad may need to be re-glued upon installing the new casing.
Step 4 — Battery
Carefully remove the battery using a
pair of tweezers.
Lift the inner assembly from the
outer casing.

Step 5
Partially cut the battery cover on the
side paying attention to do not
damage the circuit or the battery.
Cut the cover just enough to remove
it, try to not damage it too much as it
is going to be reused.
Step 6
Desolder the battery leads from the PCB and remove the battery.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
Step 7
I opted for a Panasonic
NCR18650B, choose the version
with solder tabs, otherwise it will be
a pain to solder wires on the battery
and you'll probably go out from the
factory dimensions. From the
benchmarks it looks like a very good
battery, time will tell.
Fit the new battery, cut the leads to
the needed length, pay attention to
polarity. You may need to enlarge
leads holes in the plastic case with a
cutter to let standard battery leads
thru.
Step 8
Put back the sponge cover, it is
necessary to avoid vibrations and to
keep the thing firmly in place.
