opening up a mighty to replace batteries ?

[Ukcyjats]

I need to replace my mighty batteries, the unit is out of warranty. S&B refuse to tell me how !!!! they just offer me a very slight discount on a new one. I want to open up the unit. I cant see any screws. please help guys.

Dig in the Mighty Thread, there are definitely members here who did it and you can search for the Thread about Battery Packs for the Crafty.
If i remember right, there are screws under the sticker with the serial... but don t take my word for it.

Tell us if you have success!

Yo Dub. yes you tube show the opening of the smaller crafty, i have the mighty. I too have seen a post somewhere to say screws under the sticker....but it doesnt have a sticker . just cant find anything. S&B refuse to tell me !!!!! they just offer me a nother unit for high price....

Ahhh Bingo. There are 2 screws under the sticker !!! where the serial number is. remove this and there are 2 screws. I still have some charge in the batteries so when ive run them down i will attemp to open.

I'm pretty sure I've seen it done on Reddit as well. Shouldn't be hard to find with a little digging. Make sure your new batteries have same/similar specifications though as their capacity and output vary(the latter being perhaps more important in this case).

Well, you already found the screws. Now pull out the orange tool and push in the underlying surface as there is a snap-hook to release. While pushing it in, pull apart the housing. Just until it's about a thumb apart. Don't pull it apart all the way as you may snap the hinges on the upper side of the device. With a little more than a thumb wide open at the lower end, push the backside in direction where the cooling unit normally is. To the top I'd say. The upper end is hung in from the top.

I just checked puffitup to see if the Mighty was in their teardown section. Unfortunately no.

If you search youtube you may find what you seek.
