Very clear directions with excellent photo accompaniment. Battery shown is not the 1500 mAh recommended by manufacturer.

I have linked it in the instructions but here it is, https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07K1J4.... The key is to find a battery that fits the headset.

Remember to reorient the wires, Step 5. For this battery, I had to swap the yellow and black wires.

Great, thanks Kevin!

For the other not so terribly handy fortune-hunters out there, here's another instruction to Step 5:

To remove the 2 wires from the connector in order to swap them, with a thin/sharp cutter/knife/needle you can carefully move up a little the plastic parts of the connector that cover and block the ends of the wires, and then pull out the wires, then push the plastic parts back down, and then push the wires back in correctly.

Bought a replacement battery. Didn't work so replaced my old battery which, surprisingly, charged up (for a couple of months) and then died. Went back to the replacement, realised the wires were not in correct places. Read this, swapped two over and now working fine.

Thank you so much!
