    • Ensure your puck is not fully charged. Preferably, do this when your puck is discharged and your smart bottle ask you for recharge

    • Unscrew Bluetooth Sensor Puck from your bottle (obviously)

    • Remove three Philips 1 screws and place them somewhere where you will not accidentally loose.

    • You will have to put a bit of a force to remove those screws, rotate your screwdriver counterclockwise. When done, all screws will fall out of a puck, when you rotate it upside down and give a bit of shake.

    • You might want to use your thumb when shaking those screws out of your puck to avoid premature separation of its lid in process

    • Now, when you've removed those screws, you can easily pop the lid of your puck

    • There are no latches nor adhesive to hold the lid.

    • The battery is located on the lid, but the cable is long enough for you to open a puck safely without breaking them.

    • The battery cable itself has a small white connector.

    • Disconnect battery cable by holding a puck (side with motherboard) in one hand and pulling white connector using the other hand. No tweezers necessary here, use your fingernails and grab the upper part of a connector, which has small bumps on both left and right side for that purpose.

    • Do not pull that connector by red and black cables, you may break those

    • If you can't pull out the battery connector, try doing so again by adding a small left-right shake of your hand when pulling up. This will connector's grip a bit.

    • Be careful not to bend small pogo-pins in process, those are responsible for delivery power from external magnetic connector to the board, so you could charge the device

    • The battery is held in place by one piece of double-sided tape and has a cardboard piece attached to its top in a same way, probably for additional insulation

    • Use something plastic to remove the battery, or cut the adhesive using dental floss.

    • Be careful not to puncture the battery

    • Battery inside consists of two lithium-ion 3.7v batteries taped together. Overall capacity is 420 mAh or 1.55 Wh, and size is around 10x12x30mm

    • The battery compartment is slightly bigger than the battery itself, so you may use a new battery of slightly bigger dimensions.

    • I haven't seen any battery with this connector available, so you will have to do a bit of soldering

    • Mind the polarity of battery connector. Note that the red wire should be on outer side of the puck, while the black one in the inner side.

    • Messing with polarity may force you to replace this puck entierly and the new one costs 48$

    • After you connect a new battery, your puck will flash a few times, this is expected

    • You will have to recalibrate the sensor puck after full reassembly. In fact, the application on your phone will remind you of this.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
