Re: SyncUP Kids Watch Battery Replacement
The battery arrived and I was able to successfully replace it. The battery itself is connected with a really small connector (not soldered or ribbon clipped, etc). It is a little fidgety to get it to stay down as you secure the main internal panel, but once the panel is secure it isn't going anywhere. A magnifying glass, a small Phillips screwdriver and some decent electronics tweezers got the job done. In my case the expanded battery did most of the work getting the back off the watch, so that may be a little tricky. I suspect careful use of a heat gun and some electronic plastic prying tools will do it. I may end up re-sealing the enclosure at some point to help with water resistance, but the back seems fairly secure with just the plastic clips. That said, there is a good risk that a kiddo could pull the body off the backing without some adhesive in there, so could be a choking risk if your kiddo is small. Here is a link to the battery I used: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805129966382.html I'm also attaching some pictures of the battery connector and the inside of the watch
