Step-by-Step: How to Replace the SteelSeries Arctis Battery
Step 1: Remove the right ear pad
Take the ear pad off the right ear cup and set it aside.
Step 2: Remove the speaker housing
Remove the three screws holding the speaker housing with a small Phillips screwdriver, then lift the housing carefully.
Tip: Wires are connected. Don’t pull them apart.
Step 3: Desolder the old battery
Use a soldering iron to disconnect the red, white and black wires from the board.
Step 4: Remove the old battery
Pry the battery up from underneath. Adhesive holds it in place.
Tip: Keep the red and black wires apart. Don’t let them touch, now or during the install.
Step 5: Install the new battery
Put a little flexible adhesive on the back of the new battery and set it in the same spot. Let it set for about 10 minutes.
Step 6: Solder the wires
Tin your soldering iron’s tip first. Then solder the wires to the board, starting with the red (positive) wire.
Step 7: Reassemble and test
Set the speaker housing back on, adjust it until it’s flush and reinstall the screws. Put the ear pad back on, then plug in the charger to confirm the light comes on.
