Ok, let’s go:
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.

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.
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.
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.
