The method for replacing e-cigarette batteries should be combined with the specific type of device. The following are the general steps and precautions for replacing common e-cigarette batteries:
First, the replacement steps
Prepare the following tools: a small screwdriver, spare battery (make sure the model matches), battery cover (if the battery cover is damaged), hair dryer (for heating the battery cover).
Disassemble the equipment
For electronic cigarettes with detachable batteries, it is usually necessary to use a small screwdriver to remove the screws at the bottom and gently separate the front and rear covers.
Find the position of the battery and carefully remove it.
Replace the battery
Put the new battery into the battery compartment, paying attention to the direction of the positive and negative poles to ensure the correct connection.
If the outer skin of the battery is damaged, it needs to be replaced. Unfold the new battery cover and put it over the battery, paying attention to adjusting the positions of both ends. Use the low-temperature setting of a hair dryer to heat the battery skin, causing it to contract and wrap around the battery. When heating, turn the battery over to blow air evenly and avoid blowing air at only one point.
Assemble the equipment: Close the front and rear covers and tighten the screws.
Test equipment: Start the equipment and check if it is working properly.
Second, precautions
Safe operation
When disassembling and replacing the battery, make sure the e-cigarette is turned off and the power is disconnected.
Avoid using sharp metal tools to Pierce or damage the battery case to prevent short circuits or explosions.
When heating the battery skin with a hair dryer, be sure to use the low temperature setting and pay attention to the distance between your fingers, the battery and the hair dryer to avoid scalding your fingers with the hot air.
If you don’t have a hair dryer in hand, don’t use a lighter to heat it up either to avoid the danger of high-temperature open flames.
Battery selection:
Ensure that the new battery is compatible with e-cigarettes, including aspects such as voltage, capacity and size.
Give priority to batteries purchased through regular channels to ensure quality and safety.
Insulation protection
The entire casing of the 18650 lithium battery is the negative electrode, with the protruding part at the top being the positive electrode, separated only by a layer of insulating material in the middle. When replacing the battery, be sure to protect the insulating gasket to avoid loss.
If the outer skin of the battery is damaged, when replacing the battery skin, make sure the insulation is good to prevent short circuits.
