    • Ensure your puck is not fully charged. Preferably, do this when your puck is discharged and your smart bottle ask you for recharge

    • Unscrew Bluetooth Sensor Puck from your bottle (obviously)

    • Remove three Philips 1 screws and place them somewhere where you will not accidentally loose.

    • You will have to put a bit of a force to remove those screws, rotate your screwdriver counterclockwise. When done, all screws will fall out of a puck, when you rotate it upside down and give a bit of shake.

    • You might want to use your thumb when shaking those screws out of your puck to avoid premature separation of its lid in process

    • Now, when you've removed those screws, you can easily pop the lid of your puck

    • There are no latches nor adhesive to hold the lid.

    • The battery is located on the lid, but the cable is long enough for you to open a puck safely without breaking them.

    • The battery cable itself has a small white connector.

    • Disconnect battery cable by holding a puck (side with motherboard) in one hand and pulling white connector using the other hand. No tweezers necessary here, use your fingernails and grab the upper part of a connector, which has small bumps on both left and right side for that purpose.

    • Do not pull that connector by red and black cables, you may break those

    • If you can't pull out the battery connector, try doing so again by adding a small left-right shake of your hand when pulling up. This will connector's grip a bit.

    • Be careful not to bend small pogo-pins in process, those are responsible for delivery power from external magnetic connector to the board, so you could charge the device

    • The battery is held in place by one piece of double-sided tape and has a cardboard piece attached to its top in a same way, probably for additional insulation

    • Use something plastic to remove the battery, or cut the adhesive using dental floss.

    • Be careful not to puncture the battery

    • Battery inside consists of two lithium-ion 3.7v batteries taped together. Overall capacity is 420 mAh or 1.55 Wh, and size is around 10x12x30mm

    • The battery compartment is slightly bigger than the battery itself, so you may use a new battery of slightly bigger dimensions.

    • I haven't seen any battery with this connector available, so you will have to do a bit of soldering

    • Mind the polarity of battery connector. Note that the red wire should be on outer side of the puck, while the black one in the inner side.

    • Messing with polarity may force you to replace this puck entierly and the new one costs 48$

    • After you connect a new battery, your puck will flash a few times, this is expected

    • You will have to recalibrate the sensor puck after full reassembly. In fact, the application on your phone will remind you of this.

    Does anyone know where to purchase a battery that will fit the sensor puck. I have researched extensively and can not found anything that will fit.
