How to change Orbitkey x Chipolo Bluetooth Tracker v2 batteryUpdated 2 years ago

Some improvements to the Orbitkey x Chipolo Tracker v2 include increased battery capacity and, therefore, battery life, as well as implementing a battery tab to prolong battery shelf life. It’s expected to last up to 6 months. However, if you need to change the battery, please follow these simple steps:

To avoid damaging the coin slot, we would recommend using a bigger/thicker coin that fills the slot completely instead of a smaller coin with a thin edge, as this (1) will give you more leverage, hence making it easier to open the slot and (2) has more surface area which will less likely to damage the battery door.

Battery Disposal

The Orbitkey x Chipolo Bluetooth Tracker v2 should not be treated as household or general waste at the end of its service life. It should be handed over to the applicable collection point for recycling electrical and electronic equipment or returned to the supplier for disposal. 

Battery Safety

With the new and improved design of the Orbitkey x Chipolo Tracker v2, we’ve revised the housing assembly from snap fit to screw assembled, and the battery door from a sliding door to a tool (coin) operated rotating door to meet international button battery safety regulation.

1. Button cell batteries are a little-known but severe risk for children. Every week about 20 children in Australia present to hospitals with exposure by ingestion or insertion of button cell batteries. Chemical reactions can cause severe burns internally, resulting in serious injury or death. Medical attention should be sought immediately if it is suspected the battery has been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body. 
2. Keep these batteries out of sight and reach of small children. If you don’t have a battery collection bucket that is stored in a child-proof cupboard drop of used batteries at a collection centre as soon as possible. Even flat batteries can still be dangerous.
3. Caution:
   • Replacement of a battery with an incorrect type may defeat a safeguard and risk fire or explosion;
   • Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, may result in an explosion;
   • Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment, such as sunshine, fire, or hot surface, may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas;
   • A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or flammable liquid or gas leakage.
