Open up the outer layer plastic, replace the cell with BL5C or BL5B.

ps: I will try to find the battery layout.


Best Regards

Hi, we pay nearly £300 for a unit that we have to start modding and buying batteries ourselves(not happy), then you say use to standard 3.6v batteries in series, in theory Ok, but what about the characteristics of the pcb charging circuit, conductance values of cells etc, do we want to **** the pcb up next? power systems have to be 100% stable, and the battery in the pic fits the case OK, but just doesn't look good or the solution for us when we pay money for quality item?this responsibility is with genie universal to correct or refund, sorry to be blunt but its the truth!

it's so easy P = V I

V = voltage

P = power

I = corrent

read the original battery characteristics (or use a multitest), and you will find a good to replace please do not use china battery.

Hi guys,

Sorry for your troubles. I had a brief talk with Alan today about the situation.
As i am no responsible for this i rely on him for any solution.

He was positive to confirm that some solution is possible, but via your reseller.

Expect some statement from him soon.

BR, Alex
