Was not that hard to solder and place battery in but indicator lights still not functioning right and it’s sad bc I think the cQ 35 2 has a great sound and better than previous and later models.
I wish I could find a reputable repair shop to work it out but they’re hard to find. It was worth the gamble however since I get about 12 hours of use instead of 20. Bottom line; I used really basic soldering and heat gun are it wasn’t that hard to swap out old battery.
