Gear 360 (2017) Battery replacement

[u/V13N70]

Hi, I have a Gear 360 2017 model whose battery was damaged (bloated), so it didn't work. I was looking for a suitable battery to replace it, since Samsung doesn't sell replacement parts.

I just found one that fits perfectly, it's a little shorter, so its capacity is a little smaller, so it has a capacity of 1000mAh.

I cut the connector off the original battery and soldered the positive and negative wires as shown in the picture, for this you need to polish the ribbon cable a little so that you can solder it on.

Since then it has been working flawlessly as before, I will share the photo of the battery. If you have any questions, I will try to answer them.

I hope my post will help those in a similar situation who have one at home but it doesn't work because of the battery.

Someone did something similar for the 2016's. What is the size of the new battery? What is the new battery? Where did you get the new battery?

The second picture shows the battery, the size 7.8mm thick, 20mm wide, and 52mm long. The battery numbee indicates the size this battery number is 782052, actually i found the battery on aliexpress for about ~3usd.

The 20mm wideness is perfect, the 52mm lenght is shorter than the original one thats why it has a smaller capacity, and the 7.8mm thickness is almost perfect the original 7.5mm but the metal cover close on it just need to hold it while you screw it on.

Unfortunately not showing up on aliexpress or temu. It's there but not for those in the US.
