  8. Heat the AirPod to help remove the battery. This helps with the adhesive.
  9. Do not overheat, the battery may explode.
  10. This may not be accurate. I am simply here to fix the grammar. I do not own AirPods. Take this with a grain of salt and at your judgment.

  24. Prepare the required disassembly and soldering tools, fix the AirPods, add a small amount of solder for faster heat conduction, and more convenient to remove the bottom battery cable at the bottom.

  28. Change direction, continue to tilt the lower cable, and solder the battery positive with a soldering iron.
  29. Step image Step image Step image
  30. Close-up of battery under positive electrode.
  31. Step image Step image Step image
  32. Use a syringe to inject the glue around the outside of the battery, waiting for the rubber foam to soften.
  33. Step image Step image Step image
  34. Use a pair of tweezers to shake the antenna on the outside of the battery to the left and right, then drop the debonding agent, and finally insert a thin plastic piece into the middle of the battery and the inside of the antenna, up and down, to loosen the battery and the antenna.

  36. Finally, heat the upper part around the outer casing of the earphone with a heat gun to soften the filling rubber on the inside. After heating, drip the sol and Zippo again. Finally, use the hook and pliers to slowly pull the battery out.

  42. Insert the cut piece of paper into the middle of the battery cable and the antenna cable to facilitate the battery insertion and to reduce friction.
  43. Step image Step image Step image
  44. Then use the damaged battery core that was removed before, press the loaded battery down, and finally solder the positive electrode of the battery. Be careful not to solder for a long time, and solder it quickly, otherwise it will damage the battery.

  46. Finally, the negative electrode of the battery is welded and stabilized with B-7000 glue, but to be more stable, it is recommended to use ab glue or epoxy glue.

  50. Install and test charging, play some music, check to make sure that the Bluetooth signal connection is stable, and finally verify that it can be used for at least three hours.
