Hi guys, as you may have seen, new SNSC models are available including one with a swappable battery: 2,3

I am desperately looking for a solution to manually open the battery cover to have access to the battery unit

Here is a look of the internal composition:

For now, I’ve tried to brutally open it with a hammer and a flat screwdriver but it seems like very ineffective, moreover it may cause damage to the mechanism so help would be very appreciated :mrgreen:

Well its constructed that way to not give in to brute force since they figured out that thats how people try to open most things.

Well you could always remove the rubber and drill the four holes (reversed screws) that hold the lock in place. The lock will then fall down from the lid and there will be no resistance.

Maybe try a powerful magnet ? i know that they are unlocked by itself via an app and not by any tools

Got no magnet, I’m trying to drill the holes
But that could actually work

Please share some photos, maybe we can work out a smart way together.

HI,
would appreciate an update on your drilling or use of a high power magnet.

was also thinking if there is a direct cable to the lock actuator from the control board ?
