I admit: it’s been a while since I last used my Nike + iPod gear. I know it probably feels neglected, but look, I’ve just been busy okay—it’s not you, it’s me. Yes, I’m sure I will miss you when your battery eventually fades into nothingness and I’ll remember all those good times we had. Like that time, when we were running…and then…we stopped running. Good times.
Fortunately, when that does inevitably happen, all I need to do is follow this simple technosurgical procedure, courtesy of Instructables, to replace it with a juicy new one. And the net cost of such an operation? A mere $5. You’ll need a knife, pliers, a small philips screwdriver, electrical tape, crazy glue, a CR2032 battery and a sense of adventure.
Instructables walks you through the whole process, from prying open the little pebble’s case to attaching the new battery. Then you can get back to the important business of leaving the kit in a drawer and ignoring it again.
