Where to order pebble steel Battery replacement

I buy Pebble Steels in this condition by the dozen. They appear to have had a problem with their original battery supplier, given the number of Steels that are in like-new condition but with swelled batteries.

Here's the typical behavior: Plug in the charging cable and the display activates, and the watch works as long as external power is applied. The one thing that usually doesn't work is Bluetooth - turning BT on draws too much current and the watch reboots. Remove the charging cable and the display instantly blanks.

One fix is a replacement battery. The battery that works for me is the 402020, available on eBay for about $10. Other batteries may work, but this one has worked fine for me and provides 4-5 days of normal, connected use from fully charged to 20%.

If you don't have the tools or skills it's probably cheaper to buy a refurbished Steel on eBay. They're available for $25-$50 with a fresh battery and fixes to other common Pebble Steel problems, like defective zebra strips.

If you find out which is the exact (or better) replacement battery that will retrofit into the Pebble Steel please let me know via the forum right here.

Thank you.

http://www.fentbattery.com/en/Cylindrica... lists a 402222S 3.7v 130mAh at 3.9mm x 21.5mm x 21.0mm. The ifixit.com teardown photos show the battery has 402222 printed on the front and the back says 130mAh, so this is probably the same battery.

Thanks alot Paul! I have messaged two vendors on aliexpress now. One had alot of small 3.7 batteries, not the 402222 but they had a 302222. Ive also messaged another vendor who had "fullriver" batteries .

My pebble steel is having some tearing issues which may be the flex or some water damage. So a teardown is overdue, might as well replace the battery while I'm at it.

I tore mine down about a year ago to fix screen tearing. I put a couple of pieces of business card between the back of the case and the screen connector to apply pressure to it. Has worked like a charm! Tearing Solved! (Just like this: http://goo.gl/N3bHPQ)

But my battery is down to only about 2-3 days per charge. I ordered a 402020 from Aliexpress (160mAh). They claim 4mm20mm20mm so I really hope it fits. I'll find out in 30 days, I guess.

Jupp, 402020 is what the vendor told me to buy aswell.

My tearing is just like the classic stuff but it goes away when i press the buttons on the right.

Is the problem usually that the connector is loose on the board or on the flex? If I'm not able to solder it back on I'll do the pressure fix.

I replaced my battery today, my god the flex on the board was such a ##&&% to get back on. Had to remove the foam to get a good feel of the connector. No wonder that thing is causing tearing, i placed a melted layer of esd bags on top of it to keep it put. But so far i have no backlight and my charging led has gone dark.....
