Introduzione

Vai al passo 1

Use this guide to replace a worn out or dead battery in a SteelSeries Nimbus+ controller.

For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your controller. This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

You’ll need replacement adhesive when reassembling your device.

Useless directions. The battery has 3 connectors. What is the mode? Where can you buy it? Polarity? If you have one with the right voltage and amps; but has two connectors what's do you do?

All this so-called repair guide says is: "This is how you open the case". Fantastic and then what???
