How to replace the battery in the Icos 3 Multi! I will explain the precautions and tips I noticed when I actually did it.

Hello,Heated cigarette blogger Genki (@MOQLOG_JP)It is.

This year finally comes to an end today. Has everyone finished preparing for the year-end and New Year's holidays?

Our family has finished writing New Year's cards, which is a rarity, and all that remains is to buy the groceries.

Now, on the last day of the year 2021, we bring you "Icos 3 MultiThe "Battery replacementのwayI would like to introduce you to the following.

To be frank, there was no news from the companies at the end of this year, and I was thinking about what to do.

Then, I suddenly found a compatible battery for the Icos 3 Multi.

I was going to review it, but then the Irma series was released and I forgot all about it.

We understand that some of you may still be using mulch, and we hope this will be helpful to them.

Please be aware that you are responsible for replacing the battery. We are not responsible for any damage to the battery.

How to replace the battery in the Icos 3 Multi

I had replaced the battery in an Icos 2.4 holder a long time ago, and compared to that, the difficulty level is much lower.

The battery replacement for the multi...

1. No special tools required
2. Difficulty level is relatively easy or moderate
3. The cost is about 1,800 yen.

The sales site is Amazon, and the product page includes simple but easy instructions on how to exchange the product.

However, there are some things I noticed after actually doing it, and I would like to introduce those details today.

Compatible battery for Icos 3 Multi

The stock battery capacity is 830 mAh, but the compatible battery is slightly more at 950 mAh.

The key point is that it is already pre-wired. Just plug the black and red cables into the main unit.

No solder is required, and the structure itself is not that complicated, so people who have built plastic models can easily handle it..

Tools are minimal as long as you have a precision screwdriver, so I used a vape build tool.

Battery replacement 1: Pull the base out of the body.

Sorry the picture is a little dark (sweat)

First, remove the cap.

With a rubber hand, pull out the base part from the body.

With bare hands it was difficult because it was slippery, but it came off easily when I pulled it from both sides with rubber military hands.

When pulled out, it looks like this.

There is no connection between the body part and anything else, so you can pull it out without worrying.

This one is the back side where the battery is installed. The steel cover is in the way and the battery cannot be replaced in this state.

The next step is to remove this steel cover.

Battery replacement 2) Remove the steel cover from the base

If you look at the side first, you can see that it is hooked by a nail.

Both sides have these claws, so it is unlikely to come off without doing something about this guy.

The pouch above the CE mark... This one is also on the reverse side, and it seems that you have to pull it out while pressing it.

This was quite troublesome.

As mentioned on the Amazon sales page, the only way to spread these nails is to force them apart, so use a flat-blade screwdriver x the principle of leverage.

When both the left and right sides have been spread out, pull them out a little at a time while pressing down on the potty.

The steel cover was bent a bit, but I was able to remove it anyway.

Note that the spring and the black potty x2 in the upper left corner of the photo will blow out when you pull it out.

Battery replacement 3: Remove the existing battery

Once the steel cover is removed, all that remains is to replace the battery.

Before that, I was concerned about dirt on the blades, so I cleaned all the parts as well.

At any rate, now that the cleaning is done, we will take out the battery and check the connection surfaces.

Incidentally, be careful not to press the yellow dot near the blade, as this is the power button.

The cable is pulled out while spreading this terminal with a pin or similar device.

If you insert the pin several times and spread it out, it will pull out cleanly.

If the terminals can be extended to some extent, the cable can be disconnected with a light tug.

Now it is time to install the compatible battery.

Battery replacement 4: Install a compatible battery

I just put the compatible battery into the terminal in the same way, but since it is extended, it is loose to plug in as it is (sweat).

You can bend the wires of the compatible battery to make them thicker before inserting it.

It might be a good idea to put double-sided tape on the back of the battery to prevent it from moving.

I stuck it on the stock, so I stuck it on mine as well.

I could have done the same as the original, but the cable for the compatible battery was originally longer, so it would have swelled.

Finally, adjust the sides so that they do not stick out.

Adjust the slack in the cable on the side by pulling the arrowed part with a screwdriver or the like while inserting it into the terminal.

Now it looks good.

Battery replacement (5) Undo

The most difficult part was here, when installing the steel cover, the spring and potty that easily blow off are too much in the way (sweat).

The trick was to slide it in until it was just barely in place, with only the bottom surface buried, and finally push it in with a finger + flat-blade screwdriver, etc. The third time, it was finally put back in place.

Once the steel cover is back in place, I just need to put it in the body, but the first part I spread out gets caught and won't fit (sweat).

This could be done by pressing the part against a desk or something to flatten it before doing it.

It was safely stored in the body...it took less than an hour...it's done.

Finally, check the energization. Since there is no heat stick, I can't test it until I actually smoke it, but I will press the button.

It may be a little hard to see, but the power supply was successfully turned on.

I'm glad I was able to clean up, just wondering if there was any point in doing this since I've only been using Irma lately... now that I think about it, it's very subtle (sweat).

Icos 3 Multi Battery Replacement Summary

After going through the whole process, I think again that it's pretty easy compared to disassembling other devices.

I thought it was easy to try, requiring few special tools.

The hardest part was removing the steel cover - I had to bend the cover to remove the nails, and the potty would blow off, so that was the hardest part..

I have written about all the things I noticed when I actually replaced the battery, so if you are a multi-lover, please refer to this page.
