Replacement Battery

OP-Z
1

I couldn’t kickstart my battery and couldn’t find a replacement and it doesn’t seem like there are ones any longer so I designed a PCB and a holder. I ordered enough stuff to make a few batteries, anyone interested in buying one? If so should I just put it up on Reverb or somewhere else?

i would buy one- how much does it cost?

Curious question- can the op-z power up and be used if the battery is removed and you’re just plugged into USB to wall charger?

I am thinking $30 plus shipping

I posted it on Reverb for $40 CAD which is a little less than $30 USD right now.

I’d be interested as well if you are making anymore.

I am going to make some more, I ordered some resin printed frames and I’ll see how that goes and let you know. I should have them in a week or two.

Thanks mate

Lovely idea but when adding the cost of shipping to the UK plus VAT (tax) this does not look so good. If you were in a generous mood you might like to post the 3D print STL file plus a schematic :slight_smile: I have seen other OP-Z battery replacement options described so you would not be a lone philanthropist.

Interested

I am posting the files here, I haven’t got the PCB up yet but it should be up shortly.

I made some more, I only set it up for Canada and US shipping. If you are somewhere else I will have to investigate that. Shipping to the US is crazy due to tariffs, Canada Post has me paying the tariff and it around 50%.

Right now i only have Canada and US shipping options, I will have to check on what it costs to send to other countries. If you are interested and you live in another country let me know and I will investigate.

You are a star Andrew. My battery is not yet dead but I love the OP-Z so much I am sure I will still have it when it decides to die!
Thank you so much for sharing.

Hi Andrew,

I’m based in Perth, Western Australia. It would be great if there were an option to get one delivered here.

Thanks
