    • The tool can be pencil or wood cooking spoon. Use the flat side end, to prevent damaging to the battery.

    • Too tight or tool is too thick?: Bedder remove the entire USB-Modul, if it does not fit well. A damaged cables would results in more work, then just unplugging this modul.

    • Put the tool carefully on right side of the USB-Modul in. It's not allowed to be blocked by something. Nor on the side or down side.

    • To improve mount, you may can add some rubber band to the battery. That will results the same like sponge rubber. It may also prevent too much heat at the battery.

    • The new battery is perfect centered in position.
