    • Before you start, you should discharge your Sphero Mini’s battery below 25%. Usually, you can discharge the battery by playing with Sphero for around 45 mins on a full charge. Damaged batteries can start fires.

    • It’s probably a good idea to “Turn Off” your Sphero as well. You can do this from the Play or Edu app.

    • Remove the outer shell by squeezing it until it pops off.

    • The main board is also held in with two screws - go ahead and remove them.

    • You may need to slide the Bluetooth antenna’s sheath out of the way of one of the screws.

    • Again, keep track of your screws! These are a different length than the case screws.

    • Once the screws are out, pull the board directly up.

    • Everything is connected through some pin headers, so don’t worry about disconnecting any ribbon cables.

    • If one of the cables tries to come up with the mainboard, just pull it off and return it to its place.

    • There should be a small plastic sheet adhered to the top of the battery. Gently peel it off - we’re going to use it to lift the battery.

    • This might not be the best way to do it, but it seems to be the easiest for anyone not familiar with this type of stuff.

    • Use the plastic sheet to carefully pull upwards at the edge of the yellow tape on the battery. This should help release the small amount of adhesive.

    • Once the adhesive releases, gently pull the battery out of the way.

    • Then, you’ll need to get its connector out of the way. If it’s giving you trouble, try wiggling it a little to coax it out.

    • Place the new battery into the slot.

    • Push the connector into the slot where the previous one was.

    • Make sure the polarities are in the same orientation as your old battery.

    • Stick that plastic sheet on top of the new battery.
