Steps: 12 Steps

Hey there, repair rockstar! Just a friendly reminder: handle your device with care and keep those screws organized. If you ever feel like you need a hand, don’t hesitate to schedule a repair. You’ve got this!

Get ready to breathe new life into your FixHub Portable Power Station by swapping out that tired battery! Follow these steps to make the change and keep the power flowing. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

Step 1

Before you dive into this repair, let that Portable Power Station’s battery dip below 25%. A fully charged lithium-ion battery can be a bit of a firecracker if it gets damaged, and we definitely want to avoid any unexpected fireworks!

– Give that blue action button a solid press for five seconds to power down your station. You’ve got this!

– Now, let’s get that kickstand out of the way and collapse it like a pro.

Step 2

As you dive into this repair adventure, make sure to keep an eye on those little screws! They have a knack for wandering off, so be sure to return each one to its cozy home when you’re done.

– Grab your trusty T10 Torx screwdriver and get ready to rock! Unscrew those two 8 mm-long screws that are holding the rear cover in place. You’ve got this!

Step 3

Hey there! Make sure to unplug the battery before you attempt to take off the enclosure, or you might end up giving the battery connector a bad day.

– Grab the rear cover and gently pull the bottom edge towards you like you’re opening a treasure chest.

– Carefully lift off the rear cover, revealing the inner workings of your device.

– When putting it all back together, start by hooking in the top edge of the rear cover first, and then give a little press to secure the bottom edge. You’ve got this!

Step 4

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder: steer clear of metal tools when disconnecting the battery to keep those electric shocks at bay!

– Grab your trusty spudger and slide the flat end into one of the little slots next to the battery connector. It’s designed for this moment!

– Now, gently use the spudger to start lifting up the connector. You’ve got this!

– Grab the battery connector by its edges and gently lift it straight up to disconnect. You’ve got this!
