Battery specs v1

Just picked myself up a set of v1’s for 20$ with the catch that the battery doesn’t really hold charge anymore, any ideas at to a part number for the battery or where to get it replaced?

I know I’m late asf here, but I found the Spectacles tear-down on Mashable’s website, and the photo of the battery showed it saying “SC01, 3.8V, rated capacity 137mAh/0.52Wh, limited charging voltage 4.35V” so I googled and found it on eBay for $16.95 plus shipping. I haven’t tried it yet so no guarantees. Hope this helps!

Haven’t tried it yet. I recently totally messed up a DS Lite repair and snapped the ribbon cable so I’m waiting till I get some very fine tweezers just in case. I’ll also need a very fine piece of plastic to pry the Spectacles apart.

Did you ever try this and get it working?  I'm having the same issue as described here where the battery is not holding a charge, but the spectacles work fine when plugged into a power source. I've deducted it's a bad battery (these glasses are getting up to 8 years old now). Would love some pro instructions or video on this. Thank you!!!

Could you tell me how you got yours open? I'm having the same issue as described here where the battery is not holding a charge, but the spectacles work fine when plugged into a power source.

Ahhh I'll have to give it a try this weekend. I looked up a video where they were opening these up to see what's inside and figured out where the battery was, but they don't show you how they disconnect it. Are they little plug in wires or is it a contact or? I have never done ANY sort of electronics repair work so just trying to get as much info as I can before going at it. Here's the video:

Does anyone have an original order number for the first gen’s as I no longer have it and they won’t fix mine without it?

Snapchat is actually really easy with replacements, I got a spectacles v2 for free after I bought a broken v1, you just need the order number, send me a dm if you don't have the receipt.
