Flydigi Apex 5 Battery Replacement

Inleiding

If your Flydigi Apex 5 controller fails to turn on or loses power sooner than expected, the cause may be a failing battery. Batteries fail overtime as they are repeatedly charged and discharged from use. Follow this guide to replace the battery.

Before starting, consult the Flydigi Apex 5 Not Charging troubleshooting page to confirm that the battery is your controller's issue.

Warning: Lithium-Ion batteries can be a fire hazard. If the controller battery appears swollen, follow iFixit's guide on What to do with a swollen battery.
