I didn't get any of the details on the screen when I tore it down, I will try to get the information from the original display when I can.

Yes, this would be great to know. I can't afford to replace this a 4th for my Daughter, but I while heartedly believe in right to repair!!

I'm not sure if you can find the displays anywhere. The only number (presumably model number) I could find on the screen was AM0310R-04 and the Lot Number NHT18080052.

Where do you get battery? Dexcom won't sell it.

I'm not sure you can get this same battery somewhere else (I haven't performed a battery change myself, just took it apart for demonstration). I'll get back to you if I can figure out a way to use another battery.

@richy14330 The connector type is JST ACHR-03V.

Still looking ... Where to get a battery for this receiver? What type of battery is it ?

Julian Payne (Xfactor) -

I don't think you can get a replacement battery for this device anywhere. It is a 950 mAh 06220 battery made by Jhih Hong Technology. The model number seems to be BAT000023 and the type is 1ICP4/44/59.

My receiver doesn’t have screws to even open it up to even find a battery. ??
