Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓The Pokemon Go Plus+ uses the same battery replacement as the Nintendo Switch Official Joy-Cons, so finding the battery should be very easy!
What you need
-
-
-
Flanking both sides of the charging port are J00 Screws. Remove these.
Ask FixBot
-
-
-
When looking at the front of the device, with the charging point at the bottom the device has a hinge clip and wires on the top right.
-
With a fingernail or some kind of slim pry tool, gently lift from the bottom left corner.
-
There is adhesive that is holding the faceplate on, If you have difficulty pulling it off, use a plastic spudger by inserting it in on the bottom left then slowly hinge the device open while applying pressure to the adhesive pad to loosen it.
-
-
-
-
-
Normally you'd disconnect the battery first, but with this device we cannot reach the connector until we remove the battery cover.
-
-
-
This connector is the same one on the Nintendo Joy-Cons, this connector has no retention clip, and must be pried upward to remove it.
-
Step 2: Lift the battery connector UP out of the battery terminal, do not PULL backwards. Do not pry whole battery TERMINAL off the board.
-
-
-
-
The battery is attached to the cover with some adhesive, use your spudger to carefully and gently lever it off the cover.
-
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Goodness, I accidently threw mine in de washmachine! It didn't respond to anything, I left it to dry in rice overnight. The next morning I tried to charge it, all the lights lit up and it died with a buzzer. I thought it was gone, I ordered a new one.... Then decided to follow your guide, I bought the battery and gave it a try. It's working again! Thank you so much :D Now I have 2 plusses, I will keep the new one as a back-up, since it looks like they've been discontinued, and the few stores that still sell it have increased the price a lot. Hello inflation!
Thanks again!
