    • With a gentle twist and pull, the battery will separate from the device. Make sure you pull the cables along with the battery.

    • To apply a new battery you will need a soldering kit to replace the cables back within the motherboard.

    • Note when using the soldering tool that the silver bar may become hot. Don't touch it.

    Very good manual, thank you very much…But where it is possible to buy new battery?

Thanks for the manual. Does anyone knows where can I buy a replacement battery?

Tobias Maul -

Based on the part number “042060” stamped on the side and the approximate dimensions of the device, look for a 4.0mm x 20mm x 60mm 3.7V lithium polymer battery. They are not easy to find. One example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/500mAh-3-7V-Li-...

Hi Steve, thanks for your very helpful answer. I have already searched a while without success (did not know the dimensions).

Tobias Maul -

Even with knowing the dimensions I had no success. Of course, I found some sellers which sell starting from 1000 pieces. Anyway, the batterie Steve recommended arrived after 15 days. I cannot say anything about the durability, but the device is now working again. Exchange was very easy and did take less then 30 minutes. I am happy to further use the device (sound is even better then a samrtphone).
