C. Monkey Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I bought my SJ when it first came out, and then didn’t use it until very recently (life got in the way). Now when I attempt to charge it, it blinked blue for a bit then went solid, as expected. Unplugged, switched to arming and….nothing. Montage as I screw with it for a bit - charging again, connecting to it while plugged in to update firmware, etc. Still nada when unplugged. So, I popped it open (thank you for not glueing it shut, BTW), and found the battery in full scale spicy pillow mode! O.O Anyway, I’m way past warranty, I know, so fine. But does anyone know where I can source a replacement battery? Looks like a doable soldering job, if I can find the cell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 You should be able to find a replacement on (for example) Amazon. I did some searching a while ago and there seemed to be alternatives available. The battery "specs" are available in the docshttps://docs.hak5.org/shark-jack/product-information/specifications "1S 401020 3.7V 50mAh 0.2W LiPo" The soldering job shouldn't be difficult at all (as said). Battery management is always a good thing, undercharging will most often result in a blowfish instead of a shark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C. Monkey Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 Sure enough! I missed the battery specs in the docs. Thank you for your help, the replacement battery is on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
