Einleitung

Use this guide to replace a worn-out or dead battery in your Galaxy Buds+. The photos for this guide were taken with the left earbud, but the procedure is the same for both earbuds.

Galaxy Buds+ are rated IPX2 for ingress-resistance, meaning they are splash resistant. After this repair, they may lose their water protection.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Apply new adhesive where necessary after cleaning the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%).

For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery: Charge it to 100% and keep charging it for at least 2 more hours. Then use your device until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted to 100%.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
