Contixo V8 Battery Replacement

Introducción

If your Contixo V8 (model number V8X) is failing to hold a charge and it definitely isn't an issue with the charger, you can troubleshoot it here; you may need to replace the battery to fix it. This guide will tell you how to do this. You will need two blue iFixit opening tools and a fine-tipped soldering iron (see this guide for information on soldering and desoldering connections); you may also want to use a plastic spudger, but this is optional (the blue opening tools would work too).

Please consider using an anti-static wrist strap to protect against electrical charges while working with the battery (see this guide for information on how to use these items), and be sure to familiarize yourself with the signs and dangers of a swollen battery.
