What you need
Video Overview
- The charging case is very easy to disassemble. Its battery is modular and easy to access and replace.
- Some force is required to open the Buds, which can lead to some slight cosmetic damage and is a daunting first step for a repair.
- The Buds are only semi-modular: their main circuit boards are easily accessible and held down with Phillips screws, but their batteries use soldered connections.
- The Buds' drivers are practically inaccessible, making their eventual replacement tedious at best, but most likely downright destructive.

I love how easy the case is to take apart, however I cannot seem to locate a replacement battery for the charging case. Any idea where I could locate one?

I haven't tried it tho, but will have to soon because my Buds Pro case got water damaged. Thankfully it charges the buds but not the case, so I'll try to replace the battery and see if that helps.
