A Samuel of Manuals
Hi! I’m Sam and I am a technical writer at iFixit. I was raised in Lakeport, California where I grew up jumping bikes, shooting photos, and playing guitar. Not much has changed since then — I still do all of those things!
The first thing I learned to fix was my bike. Broken chains, wobbling wheels, and snapped cables were a common occurrence and the shop was too expensive for a kid. I had to learn how to maintain and repair my bike to keep it riding the way I wanted: everything moving perfectly with no rattles. Repairs were always difficult the first time but easy after that and eventually were effortless. Since then I have preferred to repair my own belongings using iFixit, YouTube, and forums to guide me. I love the feeling of accomplishment I get out of maintaining and repairing my belongings.
Working at iFixit gives me the opportunity to enable anyone to experience the independence and empowerment of being able to fix their own stuff. My mission is to provide information, guidance, and confidence to everyone who is motivated to save money, reduce consumption, and learn new skills.

Good catch! I just pulled apart the ZCT1U and ZCT2U models and you are right. I will fix this in the guide. Thank you!
Interesting! I wouldn’t know which is the newer version, but the one in the YouTube video does look like it has higher quality parts…
Hey William, thanks for the question! Check out the second bullet on step 13: To install a back cover:
Hi John, which kit did you purchase? We don’t sell a battery replacement kit for this exact model, only the part, so you’d have to make sure you have all the tools listed in the guide before you buy the part and add anything you don’t have to your cart.
If a P5 was supposed to be included in the kit you did purchase, reach out to customer service and they will promptly send one to you.
Unfortunately no, they are not interchangeable.
