Introduction

Your device is equipped with a single battery that is capable of providing several hours of normal usage. Deterioration over time or using while on the charger can cause the battery life to decrease or even cause the device to be unusable without being on the charger. To fix this, you must replace the battery.

    • Heat up the battery with the iOpener Heat tool in order to soften the adhesive that keeps the battery in place.

    • The iOpener Heat tool gets very hot, so be careful that you don't burn yourself.
