Insignia Flex 7 Battery Replacement

Inleiding

One of the weakest points of the Insignia Flex 7 is its lithium polymer battery. As the device ages the chemicals within it dry out and one if not all of the cells can go dead, resulting in a reduced power output. Sometimes this aging is not graceful at all, and the battery can often swell in the process. That said if your battery is swollen, be extremely careful. Li-Po batteries have a lot of stored energy and unintentionally puncturing it can often result in fire and/or severe burns. Therefore, handling of the battery should be very gentle and only performed with plastic tools. Furthermore, be sure to adhere to the safety procedures outlined in the following instructions to insure no unexpected problems occur.
