Einleitung

Use this guide to replace a worn out or dead battery in a SteelSeries Stratus Duo controller.

For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your controller. This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

You’ll need replacement adhesive when reassembling your device.

Precut Adhesive Card

Schritt 1

Use your fingers to remove the sticker located on the back cover of the Stratus Duo.
If you have trouble removing the sticker, heat an iOpener and apply it to the rear case for two minutes to loosen the adhesive underneath. You can also use a hair dryer to soften the adhesive.

Schritt 2

Use a Y0 Tri-point screwdriver to remove the five 9.3 mm-long screws securing the back cover.

Schritt 3

Don't try to remove the back cover assembly all the way yet, as it's still connected to the mainboard.
Carefully lift the back cover assembly away from the frame and move it downward to uncover the battery cable and the interconnect cable at the top of the motherboard.

Schritt 4

Using the pointed end of a spudger, push the grey tabs on the interconnect socket away from the socket, parallel to the interconnect cable, to release the cable.

Schritt 5

Use a pair of blunt nosed tweezers or your fingers to pull the cable out of the socket.

Schritt 6

Use a pair of blunt nose tweezers to grab and lift the connector away from the motherboard.

Schritt 7

Remove the back cover assembly.

Schritt 8

The battery is held in place by mild adhesive.
Insert the long edge of an opening pick into the gap between the battery and the back cover assembly.
Take care not to puncture or bend the battery with your tool—a punctured or bent battery may leak dangerous chemicals or cause a fire.
Use the opening pick to carefully pry up the battery and separate the adhesive.

Schritt 9

Grab the battery with your fingers and lift it out of its recess to remove it.
Do not reinstall a damaged or deformed battery, as doing so is a potential safety hazard.
During reassembly make sure to align the battery and the back cover correctly.
