Removing the Old Battery
Removing the Old Battery
Two circular connectors hold the battery terminal leads in place:
Easing the Leads out and Releasing the Battery
The terminals are sprung-loaded, ensuring a good electrical connection even when subjecting
the tag to shock or vibration. Use a non-conductive plastic screwdriver or “spudger” to ease the
leads out carefully and release the battery by pushing the sharp end under the edge of the
battery and then applying light leverage against the edge of the enclosure.
Take care not to
damage the small component that is located between the terminals;
ideally try to apply
force to each of the corners in turn, carefully lifting the battery away from the PCB.
