Thanks! I bought the battery and some T9000 glue off of eBay coming to under $30. Was able to replace the battery in 30 minutes. The most difficult part was getting the case apart without marking up the plastic. I have spudgers, but ended up resorting to a sharp kitchen knife like another commenter suggested. I heated it with a hairdryer for about 30 seconds while rotating it around. It took a few tries but I was able to get open.
This video saved me so much money and frustration. Left earbud had that battery draining issue after the update and it got so bad that it died after 10 minutes playtime. Sony support was no help at all, only citing standard bullshit that it's normal that battery charge may differ between left and right (ya maybe for
its about the software, not the batteries... since 1.4.2 they started to drain faster. But usually the right one dies quicker. So its been the last pair of headphones i bought from sony.
@@slaxxTB I have the exact same issue. I thought it was because I tend to use the right one by itself sometimes. They degrade very quick. I went from having 4 hours to have 2 hours or less in a few months, then finally the right one died completely.
Sony is fucking atrocious. In no world should it be acceptable for people to spend upwards of $300 for their earbuds to die so fast. I've been using mine for a little over 1 year, never had any issues and the battery on them were amazing, after the latest firmware updates however I've been facing the same issues as all you people. My leaft earbud will go from 100% to 20% in about 2 hours whereas my right earbud will still be at about 80%. I also noticed the left earbud overrheating when charging. This is genuinely unacceptable, and sadly by now the warranty has expired so I can't ask for any replacements. FUCK. SONY.
Great video, saved my buds. You can put the earbud in a water and heat proof plastic bag and then lower the bud and bag into boiling water for a couple minutes to soften the glue instead of a heat gun. Also the contact cleaner isn't needed to remove the battery glue, just use a razor and go really slow so you don't cut the center contact. After that the glue peeled off easily and I was able to use t9000 and just hold the contact down with finger pressure until it dried.
Wow! You have skills sir. That was precise and smooth the way you took it apart and put it back together. If that was me I would’ve broke it prying the buds apart in the beginning. Lol.
Thank you for this video! I came here from the walkman blog amaizing article on this battery replacement. Their instructions are great but seeing it in video helps a lot!
Excellent video, i've seen a few others but this one was the clearest to follow. I saw a suggestion somewhere about squeezing the sides after you heat it and that really helped get a spudger in there without gouging it all up.
Thanks for this. Replaced my XM4 batteries and found out you dont really need to remove the small ribbon cable. Mine was too stuck so I ended up carefully removing the battery from below the two ribbon cables and central PCB. Now I can't quite seem to find a perfect glue to hold the two plastic pieces back together! 😂
That's good to hear, might have to do the same soon unfortunately. Left side is starting to die quick and Sony might not replace my set since I apparently bought a refurbished pair.
@@oricebucket it use to charge to full sometimes, then would die within 40 min. I changed the battery now though, same way Yen did in the video. Works great now!
Probably there will be a problem of low power and and less battery life because of the difference between the original and the new ; old : 3.85v , 0.29wh vs varta : 3.7v , 0.2wh 2:28
I wondered about that myself. I've just replaced the dead OEM cells in my buds. They had 163 hours of use. I had no issue with them until firmware v1.4.2. To replace them I used the same Varta 1254 A3 cells used in this video. It turns out that the Varta 1254 A3 is rated 3.7V, 77mAh (0.2849Wh). With "LDAC/DSEE:Off/NC:On" settings applied the right bud shut off at 4h:57m with 3% still left in the left bud. With those settings Sony rates battery life at "max 5 hours". I'm happy with the swap.
I'm curious if the battery in the actual wf 1000xm4 case can be removed easily. I looked at a video on the prior model and the battery is aoldered to the board
Great job and instructions! But did you mount Varta 3.7V battery in XM4? Not soo good idea. XM4 uses 3.85V batteries. Mounting 3.7 will decrease life of battery and working time for the earphone.
Hi, could i check what is the pincer with the plastic tips you used? The yellow plastic to remove the contact points internally and finally the cleaner in your red spray? Many thanks
Hello, could you provide a list of the necessary tools, required to perform this operation? Ideally - an iFixit set, with which one can execute this. :)
Those are the metal contacts of the positive and negative poles, which are raised a little higher to make the positive and negative poles contact better; but be careful, the metal is very soft.
if i mistakenly broke the negative pole you speak of, can I do a patch (replace the snapped off pole) with some fine copper wire, as long as it touches the pole plate and battery negative side?@@NightWarJET
Hi. 1 -What temperature should I set in the hotair? Can you blow with a regular heat gun? 2- Are these ZeniPower Z55H batteries from ali recommendable in your opinion? Great presentation of battery replacement.
Great video!! I have now done both sides. The biggest challenge is getting the ear buds open, once you are inside, it's pretty easy with the right tools. The big question. How do we extend the life of these batteries? I'm one of those who charges my iPhone and apple watch ultra to no more than 80-85%, to reduce the wear on the battery's. Unfortunately, I do not think you can set the charging time of the Sony ear buds.
Is it possible to supply VARTA CP1454 A3 The dimensions of CP1454 are 14.1*5.4MM, therefore the marking is appropriate. The fact is that the capacity of the VARTA CP1454 A3 is 40% higher than the original, and accordingly, theoretically, the headset should work longer! Will the VARTA CP1454 A3 fit into the connector, given that the height is the same and the diameter is 2 mm larger?
Question, at 2:10 there is what looks like an adhesive + insulation on the PCB, what can I use to replace that? I didn't force it but I kinda messed it up thats why i'm trying to look for replacement for it. Or would it be ok to install without that?
You need to use double-sided tape on that side, and there is a metal contact piece in the middle that needs to be dug a hole, which needs to be in contact with the underlying battery to form a path.
@@Xyanel The main thing is to be sticky enough, 3M commercially available double-sided tape should be sufficient. I myself use a specific 3M model: 9448 tape
Please tell me what temperature and what air flow were set on the hair dryer and the warm-up time? This is very important information so that everything is neat!
Bought a secondhand non original set (only realize when i got the set). Sony Service Centre in Johor, Malaysia says if it's original set, HQ does offer one to one exchange of the earbuds for batteries draining issue. I would have had to buy a new set if it wasn't for this video. Thank you so much.

Use a three-purpose voltmeter to measure the voltage of the battery. If it is above 3.5 V, it should be able to start the machine. Check whether it is reversed. The metal contact piece cannot be touched. It needs to be adjusted.

Heat the heat gun along the seam for about 7-9 seconds, use a relatively thin disassembly tool to pry it open, do not disassemble it forcibly if it is not heated enough.
Can I use a hair dryer ? Is this battery as powerful as its original battery and it is rechargeable ?? What happens if you use varta CR 2032 battery ?? Please answer me quickly . 😍😍🇹🇩💙
great job! I have a question, in the beginning I have battery drain issue and the battery life only can hold about 10 minutes in maximum, now it's overheating everytime I charge it, will my problem solved with changing the battery?
I suggest you ask for a replacement from Sony. Mine also had the same problem, battery drain extremely fast and getting hot when charging in the case, it also drained the case's battery down to 0% in less than 6 hours. After some research, looks like it may be caused by earlier batch of hardware coupled with a problematic software (firmware version 1.4.2 onward). If those really are the cause, I'm afraid replacing battery would not be able to resolve your issue.
1. You don't need to remove small ribbon from PCB on battery, just use heat and alcohol, carefully peel off PCB from battery and reuse adhesive (careful in case the battery is swollen as it may blow with heat) 2. In my experience using B-7000 glue, the repair didn't work long term as there was not enough adhesion and the buds opened over time, i needed to remove the old seal/adhesive (black tacky stuff) and put the glue in its place. 3. Please not this music 😂
"Bluetooth device 2 replaced" announce when i touch sensor function after I replaced battery for left. I tried factory reset but that announcement still occur
Clean the connecting seat of the upper cover and the lower cover with cotton dipped in a highly volatile detergent, and then re-connect it. I'm afraid that you broke some part during the disassembly process.
I replaced my battery, when i put the earphone in the case, orange light turns on then goes away. but when i take out earphone it doesn't turn on. what can I do?
@@NightWarJET i have the same problem, at first it turned on but now it doesn't and the battery is not reversed. I also tried making the contacts touch better to the battery but nothing happens
@@NightWarJET if you use T-9000 and would need to replace the battery again in the future would you still be able to access it? or would it work like super glue that once you use it you can no longer separate it?
Used a hot air gun to open 3 ear buds. First tried 100C but not luck in opening. Tried 150C which was too hot and started melting the plastic. Found 125C was about right. From experience be careful as easy to pull apart too far and pull the ribbon cables out of their sockets. Anybody experience of alternative types of battery to fit as the originals are quite expensive.
I've opened a few more since last post and would suggest lower temperature around 115C. Does anybody know the reason why Bluetooth not pairing is beginning to happen with these buds?
@@paulbowditch7511 I could see the bud I repaired but no audio so I did the factory resets (hold touch pads for 10 secs, and open and close case 10x until blinking red light and then kept it closed until it showed green)
Hello, I'm trying to solve the battery drain issue, my right earbud dies in 20 min. Do u know what caused this problem? And if I change the battery, Can this problem appear again? I'll wait to your answer Thanks for the video, I didn't see another video on yt explaining how do this.
Top work, good to see a proper battery replacement video. question, what kind of battery life are you getting with the varta? it has less voltage and less capacity than the Z55H, is it a significant difference?
@@NightWarJET which cp1254 battery are you using? the A4 version? Since the A3 version is not 77mAh, but ~60mAh. at 3.7v, the batteries might not last as long, not earbud listening time. but the actual life of the battery since you are overcharging it to 3.85v with the case. While it may not be that much of a difference, if a problem arises with 3.7v battery being overcharged too much, it might damage the battery and cause it to explode. Not ideal situation.

Thanks! It is very help to me!!
Do i need to fullt charge the battery after replacement. My right earbud is not on but it has charging indicator when i put it on the case. Please help
Use a three-purpose voltmeter to measure the voltage of the battery. If it is above 3.5 V, it should be able to start the machine. Check whether it is reversed. The metal contact piece cannot be touched. It needs to be adjusted.
Thank you for the reply. Apparently when i glued the earbuds the motherboard was not properly intact so I had to open it again
mine is flashing when you put them into the case too but not turning on after i unplug them. so did you open it again and checked the connections?
@@burackbb yes i have to re open it and re aligned all the part and connection. Working like a charm now
@@nathanielangelojancamacam7584 ok i will try that
I already change mine, all is well but still it's not charging, it's the right earbud where there is no battery drain issue, I just switch the buttons on the app to make it have noise canceling now it's not even charging even I change the battery, please help
Excuse me, is it the left earphone or the right earphone that cannot be charged? What is the problem before replacing the battery?
@@NightWarJET before I replace the battery of the right earphone it's all okay, until I change the button of it to have anc because as we all know the left earbud have the anc button, I change it because the left earphone is already having battery problem, so back to the right earbuds I change it and now working I think I will be sending it to some third party fixer
thanks for the reply
Bro from where i can purchase battery for model WFLS900 N..and battery model pls?
You can find it on the auction website, keywords: model battery
Hello!! I saw the video you posted. And I'm a Sony wf 1000xm4 user. May I know the information of the glue used and the name of the battery?
Key words, Z55H battery
T9000 glue
can the old battery be taken out without (what i'm assuming is) the alcohol drop?
Heat the heat gun along the seam for about 7-9 seconds, use a relatively thin disassembly tool to pry it open, do not disassemble it forcibly if it is not heated enough.
謝謝分享
nice video, i ak stuck, i am unable to open them, doent matter how long i heat them (tryng not too long), any advise?
After heating, insert the flat blade into the gap to separate the earphones.
Found best temperature to be 125C
what did u blow on the contact on the battery before removing it ?
530 electronic cleaner👌
Can I use a hair dryer ?
Is this battery as powerful as its original battery and it is rechargeable ??
What happens if you use varta CR 2032 battery ??
Please answer me quickly .
😍😍🇹🇩💙
You are not able to charge CR2032 battery. It's standard lithium battery, you need lithium-ion battery (Varta CP1254 for example) to charge them 😉

Okay, I got it.
I gave it to a specialist and it was changed.
great job! I have a question, in the beginning I have battery drain issue and the battery life only can hold about 10 minutes in maximum, now it's overheating everytime I charge it, will my problem solved with changing the battery?
If the earphone gets into water or falls, it will also cause heat. Ten minutes is quite short. You can try to change the battery.
I suggest you ask for a replacement from Sony.
Mine also had the same problem, battery drain extremely fast and getting hot when charging in the case, it also drained the case's battery down to 0% in less than 6 hours.
After some research, looks like it may be caused by earlier batch of hardware coupled with a problematic software (firmware version 1.4.2 onward). If those really are the cause, I'm afraid replacing battery would not be able to resolve your issue.
can't open the shell,how can I do that without warming it ?
There should be a hair dryer at home, right? A hair dryer can replace a heat gun. But it can't be blown for too long.
@@NightWarJET yes done,with a little scratch here and there
How did you get it to open?? Ive been stuck for a day trying to pry it open but no luck
how u open it? Heated the ear buds and using a negative screw driver?~~
Can I get an Amazon link to the battery you used?
You can search with this keyword: varta cp1254

Can I use varta cr 2032 ?
Please tell me
1. You don't need to remove small ribbon from PCB on battery, just use heat and alcohol, carefully peel off PCB from battery and reuse adhesive (careful in case the battery is swollen as it may blow with heat)
2. In my experience using B-7000 glue, the repair didn't work long term as there was not enough adhesion and the buds opened over time, i needed to remove the old seal/adhesive (black tacky stuff) and put the glue in its place.
3. Please not this music 😂
"Bluetooth device 2 replaced" announce when i touch sensor function after I replaced battery for left. I tried factory reset but that announcement still occur
Clean the connecting seat of the upper cover and the lower cover with cotton dipped in a highly volatile detergent, and then re-connect it.
I'm afraid that you broke some part during the disassembly process.
I replaced my battery, when i put the earphone in the case, orange light turns on then goes away. but when i take out earphone it doesn't turn on. what can I do?
If the circuit board is not damaged during the disassembly process, first check the battery, is it reversed?
@@NightWarJET i have the same problem, at first it turned on but now it doesn't and the battery is not reversed. I also tried making the contacts touch better to the battery but nothing happens

Is the glue conductive connecting the pcb to the battery?
That black glue is non-conductive
The glue you put around the earbud is non conductive too right?
Thanks bro another pair saved
Thank you very much. 🙏
What are you using to seal it back up?
Glue with T-9000 glue, pay attention to the amount, avoid glue overflow
@@NightWarJET if you use T-9000 and would need to replace the battery again in the future would you still be able to access it? or would it work like super glue that once you use it you can no longer separate it?
@Kenneth Ralph u can don't add glue but beware of waterproofing. The left over adhesive should be sufficient if u do not have glue
Used a hot air gun to open 3 ear buds. First tried 100C but not luck in opening. Tried 150C which was too hot and started melting the plastic. Found 125C was about right. From experience be careful as easy to pull apart too far and pull the ribbon cables out of their sockets. Anybody experience of alternative types of battery to fit as the originals are quite expensive.
I've opened a few more since last post and would suggest lower temperature around 115C. Does anybody know the reason why Bluetooth not pairing is beginning to happen with these buds?
@@paulbowditch7511 I could see the bud I repaired but no audio so I did the factory resets (hold touch pads for 10 secs, and open and close case 10x until blinking red light and then kept it closed until it showed green)
You are the best.
Thank you
What size battery can I use to replace this as well as the charging case?
Either cp1254 a3 or Z55H can be used on WF-1000XM4.

大哥，你太厲害了！ 在開外殼時你是用熱氣去除粘膠，但是在取出電池的蓋子時卻用Falcon，請問用吹風機而不用Falcon可以嗎？ 謝謝！
指的是開蓋還是取出電池的環節?
@@NightWarJET 電池的環節，你是用Falcon，但是我住在美國還真的沒看過Falcon，所以問用吹風機吹電池的環節會不會有同樣的效果。如果在兩個禮拜前有看到你的視頻，我就可以到你門市請你幫忙，可惜已經回美了！
@@oeshoe 其實只要拆機手速快，其實不用再次加溫，用撬棒就能把電池摳起來，因為不太建議直接加熱內部，有電池有機板，風險高
is it possible to do that without a heat gun? maybe with indirect heat from a stove?
You can also use a hair dryer
What kind of glue did you use?
T9000 glue
Freaking awesome music to go with this! What is it?

Wow excellent video thanks
Hello, I'm trying to solve the battery drain issue, my right earbud dies in 20 min. Do u know what caused this problem? And if I change the battery, Can this problem appear again? I'll wait to your answer
Thanks for the video, I didn't see another video on yt explaining how do this.
If the earphones have been used for several years and feel that they are prone to run out of power, you can try to change the battery.

Top work, good to see a proper battery replacement video. question, what kind of battery life are you getting with the varta? it has less voltage and less capacity than the Z55H, is it a significant difference?
Specification:
CP1254: standard voltage 3.7V, standard capacity 77MAH, diameter 12.1mm, height 5.4mm, weight 1.6g
Z55 (1254) 65mAh-75mAh
m.zenipower.com/cn/page.html?id=61
@@NightWarJET which cp1254 battery are you using? the A4 version? Since the A3 version is not 77mAh, but ~60mAh. at 3.7v, the batteries might not last as long, not earbud listening time. but the actual life of the battery since you are overcharging it to 3.85v with the case.
While it may not be that much of a difference, if a problem arises with 3.7v battery being overcharged too much, it might damage the battery and cause it to explode. Not ideal situation.
@@TheWalkmanBlog Most of the headphones I have repaired are A3 version, otherwise they are H55
@@TheWalkmanBlog Explosion should be unlikely, unless the charging overcurrent protection of the circuit board is broken
