Astro A50 Battery Replacement

Inleiding

This guide details how to replace the battery in the Astro A50 2014 headset. Because the A50’s battery is a lithium-ion, it will eventually burn out after a couple years of average use. However, there’s nothing to fear as a replacement battery is only $30 and, with a soldering iron and a screwdriver, you can replace it yourself.

    • Turn the earpiece over, and expose the battery by folding the microphone and cover plate away from the battery housing.

    • Desolder battery connections to disconnect the three colored wires from the old battery. Make note of corresponding colors/locations for installation of new battery.

    • Carefully remove the old battery by wedging a plastic opening tool or spudger underneath the battery to release the adhesive.

    • Do not bend or puncture the battery housing.

    • For reassembly, follow steps 1-4 in reverse order:

    • Take care to ensure battery wires are soldered correctly with each color on its corresponding pad.

    • Use minimal amounts of adhesive to re-attach the speaker foam to avoid glue making a mess.

Could you post the dimensions of the battery itself? Seems like it's hard to find one that may or may not fit. That or could you recommend where to get a battery?

i'd also like to know where to source the battery

Search for part no: 603443 on Ebay - ~$10 or buy one from Astro for $75

So, which battery is the best replacement for the original? Is it possible to put some bigger batteries inside with some modding?

Rene Siekmann - Antwoord

Battery sizes are mAH, just by a 900 or more and that should do the trick. The actual size of the battery must be identical for a perfect fit and confortable headsets. Just make sure you get the correct voltage and size.

The battery comes with a cable, instead of soldering, can I tie those cables in? Also, what is the best way to remove and reattach foam cushions without damaging them?
