Ok, let’s go:

pry open pry open lid off Use a spudger or ideally two -guitar picks and wedge them in to the thin gap between the top cover and -the base of the earphones. Don’t worry about breaking anything. As long -as the material of your tools is plastic, you won’t damage anything. -This is by far the most tedious step of the process (if you don’t have -the picks). There is a little bit of adhesive behind the lid, so once -you get the halfs to seperate you might have to widdgle a little.

screws out screws out lift top With the phillips head remove -the two screws that secure the visible part in place and then carefully -lift it out, flip it over. There is a ribbon cable connecting the touch -sensor and LED on the top to PCB deeper inside the earpiece.

-

battery out To remove the old battery I -found it easiest to push the spudger into the little gap in the plastic -where the ribbon cable connects to the top part. It is also glued in; be -careful not to pull out the contact points as well. If possible try to -preserve the glue, it will come in handy when securing the new battery -in place. I also scraped off what was stuck to the old battery and -pushed it back into the housing.

-

battery in Before putting in the new -battery make sure to check the writing on it or use the shape as a -reference to figure out which side is the negative pole. Put that side -down, touching to the contacts. The replacement batteries I got where a -different brand and had all the labeling on the plus pole. While the -original VARTA branded batteries had it exactly reversed. On my first -attempt I didn’t pay attention and put them in the wrong way around.
