      • If your replacement battery includes new foam, skip this step.

      • Use an opening pick or your fingernail to lift the foam off the battery by its adhesive, not the foam itself.

      • Carefully peel the foam sticker off the old battery. Avoid stretching or tearing the foam.

      • If the foam does tear, apply the pieces to the replacement battery in their original shape.

      • Apply the foam sticker to the new battery so the edges of the foam are aligned with the edges of the battery.

      • If your replacement battery came with adhesive pre-installed, peel off any adhesive liners.

      • If your replacement battery doesn't include new adhesive, use thin, double-sided tape instead. If you're using our pre-cut card, cut one of the 5 mm strips so it's half as long, and apply the strips to the back of the battery.

      • Align the battery with its housing. Ensure the battery cable lines up with its channel.

      • Lower one side of the battery, then the other, into its housing.

      • Press and hold on the battery for 10 seconds to bond the adhesive.

      • The release button isn't secured, and falls out easily.

      • Check that the release pin sticks out of the controller when the release button is pressed. If it doesn't, or if the button fell out entirely, re-insert the button and try again.
