To all,
I have successfully replaced over 36 batteries into SIAC Air+ cards. At this point I have been able to carefully get the caps off without damaging 95% of them. For the ones that the cap was damaged, I printed up 3D caps and fit those onto the cards. Using the Config+ software I am able to update the cards, verify the battery voltage etc.
I am open to assisting anyone who wants their battery replaced, of course I cannot guarantee that your cap will not get damaged, so if you would like to get your battery replaced, you would need to accept that you may end up with a 3D printed cap. I am currently working on improving the cap, but right now as it is, it is very functional and performs extremely well.
If you would like to get more information and see what the cap looks like, send me an email at dingram2839@gmail.com and I will reply with images etc.
Very Respectfully,
Dan
