Sony WF-1000 XM3 battery +replacement

+

I’ve had these since 2021, while they are a bit bulky I am happy with +them and use them mostly around the city to listen to podcasts and the +occasional bit of music.

+

+

After they would first slowly show signs of not holding their full +charge anymore, the batteries completely died on me after some 3 years. +I was fully prepared to have to throw them out when I learned that the +batteries are just standard cells and can be easily swapped.

+

Before you start, get the following:

+ +

Ok, let’s go:

+

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 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.
