Sphero R2-D2 Battery Replacement

The video is to bring life back to aging Sphero R2-D2 and should work for the R2-Q5 as well. Ideally you will need to solder the wiring but if you cannot solder you might be able to locate very thin connectors.

I hope you find this helpful

Thanks to a comment, I found out my original link to the battery on amazon now points to a different battery. I apologize, I did not realize links were reused on Amazon.

Unfortunately I cannot pull the original battery detail.
What I do have is:

1. The original name: AOLIKES 3.7c 1400mAh Rechargeable
2. An image of the original battery which has this written on it: AOLIKESBATTERYPACK 822262A 3.7v 1400mAh 5.18Wh


I located this battery on Amazon by the same manufacturer for a motorcycle helmet. The dimensions appear to be correct but I have not tested it.

This one is wired with two plugs but has uses the same 3 wires, Red, Black, and Yellow. I could not find one with just 3x wires. I bet you can use the 3 wires on the main plug, as in the video, and clip the other two near the base that are on the secondary plug so that they dont get in the way.
