How to change the battery in FLIR ONE PRO LT 3. Generation for iOS iPhone
This is my 10 Years Anniversary on KZread, I started 10. April 2011 and did not at all have any idea that my chanel would be a chanel for other people in the repair community, and now this is my video number 587, so I think it should be something different.
I would also like to say THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU around the World, who have supported MY KZread chanel during the many years :-).
And there will be more videos to see sooner, stay tuned :-) and take good care of you!
In this video I will show how it's possible to change the battery in the thermal camera, FLIR ONE PRO LT 3. Generation for iOS iPhone.When I buy this camera new and unused and the box was proper sealed from the factory, it had a very short battery time and would only last maybe 5-8 minute, so I needed to use a power bank to get it to work as it should, it was not good.But it's not that "hard" to change the little battery, just take good care of the circuit board because the components and specially the camera section are a little fragile, keep that in mind!I use a flat dentist tool and a Torx TX5 to open the camera, and also a JIS 2mm crosshead screwdriver to unscrew one screw inside the camera.Here is the link to the battery I have buy at Aliexpress:

The dimension of the original battery in My FLIR ONE PRO was:
Thickness: 3,6mm
Long: 36,5mm
Width is around 19,5mm - 20mm
3,8 volt
1,97 Wh

Thank you so much for the very informative video. I successfully replaced the battery in my FlirOne Pro, which never worked well at all (max 15 minutes run time). I had to buy a T5 torx, and plugging in the new battery was quite challenging, but all good now! Thank you!!
Very very good tutorial! It seems I am doing the work along with you. Bravo!
Thanks a lot for making this video :)
If you try this yourself you have to be very carefull disasembling the connector from the board. Mine broke of... And I guess that it was kind of broken allready. That explains the irrattic behavior since day one. The camera worked fine if I connected a powerbank to it, although this was officially not allowed by the instructionmanual. (It said: "don't charche and use the camera at the same time"). Since the wires are quite long I will try solder them directly to the board. I hope this wil work fine. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the video anyway. Update (14 hours later) I sharpened by solderiron and that did the trick. The wires are now directly soldered on the main board. It worked. Happy with the result.

WOW, that's great to know that it worked for you. About the charging, it also worked for me when connected to my iPhone, even if they said it will not work.
Perfect!!!! Thx so much... It did help me to open the cam and i will try to change it with a new one. The flir support is very bad. I had a lot of problems and they want to change vs new one for 300€ :-(
I tried this and it worked.
The old battery suffered from expansion. Nice video and congratulations on 10 years! Cheers!

Thanks :-) and yeah that's true Scott, I thinks this Lithium battery was some of the cheaper battery type, or it has been stored in a wrong place. But the new battery works so much better.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Wondering if you could have shorten the new battery wires as the additional length will put pressure on the components?
great, thanks 😊
Hi! what is the connector model on the new battery
I enjoyed your video because it was very informative Would it work with a power brick connected to your female charging port without the battery being instal
Would you know when charging how many watts is it pulling?
you could run a larger battery on the outside and simply make a little holder or use some Velcro to hold the large battery in place. then you can have hours of use. thanks for showing how to remove this!
where can I buy the battery? Many thanks ang great video!
Hi! Do you have battery dimensions? Thanks
Olá! Sou brasileiro e não entendo bem inglês. Onde comprou a nova bateria? Teria o link?
Thanks a lot for this tutorial! It is interesting to see what will happen if both inside screws are removed... It seems like connecting battery with just one screw removed is a certain headache. So it looks like flashing small green light (not under button but inside the small hole) does not mean the battery is dead? red light seems to be indicating that device is starting, flashing green light under the button should be indicating that device is running normally.

Flashing small green light means the battery is charging, and constant on means it's fully charged.
A common problem this has is the case, you need to cut a few mm away where the power button is as the case switches the unit on and you end up thinking it has a fault or a dead battery, since cutting the foam away my battery lasts ages, i use it about 2 minutes a day for a month on a charge at least, also cut away where the usbc or apple connector goes so you don't have to keep lowering the connector to get it back in the case, it's them ready at the right size every time
Can you send alli express link?
Kenneth I know this is off topic but I am assembling a 3.5 Rolliflex and I cant get the cocking lever to advance enough to cock the shutter any ideas, many thanks, regards Kevin USA

Well, it could be a loose shutter or the connecting arm that goes from the advance assembly on the side to the shutter assembly on the front, but of course there could also be some worn out parts in the advance mechanism. If you need to take off the front, Remember to set the aperture wheel to f/22 and the shutter time to 1/500 sec. BEFORE open it, and when you have open it, also set marks on the shutter for the aperture and the shutter time, it will help you when you assemble the camera again (hope it makes sense..).

I got my flir 12 months ago, in the 12 months I've only used it for about 60 minutes and I put it on charge tonight and only took 15 mins to top up to full, a lot of people say it's battery drains on its own or the unit switches itself on, the problem is the button gets pressed by the foam case, i cut the foam away where the switch is and cut the foam away where the connector is so I don't have to shorten the connector again to put back in the case, it never drains the battery now Flashing light next to usbc means charging, light constantly on means fully charged.
I'm so happy for you! But wasn't it hard to work with the gloves? Or does FLIR have Coronacoodies? Your notes and tags were absolutely BOSS!

When work with electronic boards the hands of the repairer must be grounded and isolated
i wish they sold the replacement for the USB assembly, mine broke and cant even find a broken camera for parts
Actual repair starts at 3:49
hello, when can you buy the battery pack for FLIR ONE PRO?

I am not 100% sure but it looks like standard Li-Pol battery (be sure to get Li-Pol not Li-Ion they are capable of huge discharge currents in contrast to Li-Ion, NiMh, Ni-Cd). You can try local RC store I think. Typically Li-Pol discharge current is proportional to capacity so any 3.7V battery having >= 1.5Wh should fit.
Hello Mr. It is possible to put new battery with more mAh?

it would require more space (not really an option if you want to keep the battery inside) or a more efficient battery (more expensive and might be hard to find). But it is possible to use a battery with more mAh as long as the voltage is somewhat similar
Appreciated video, thank you. You could improve on the tempo though, this video is so slow that I get sleepy when watching at 1,5 x speed, and at 1,75 x speed its hard to hear all words, so you might want to step up your phase of talking. Thank you again, the content is still good!
In your description the item# is incomplete. What is the complete # on the aliexpress website. Good video by the way.

You wouldn't happen to have battery dimensions would you? I'm thinking of upgrading to larger capacity.

The original one is about 38x20x6.1mm. I've just replaced mine. Personally i was already thinking about removing it completely and instead adding an external battery connector to the housing so i could add a larger swappable one from the outside. Maybe with a 3d printed case or so. But then it would make sense to use an USB-C extension cord between the unit and the phone ... otherwise it might get too heavy on the port.
I am not sure it would be fine, In most chemistries, a 3.8V battery (nominal) has a maximum voltage of above 4.2V, while a 3.7 battery (nominal) usually has a maximum voltage of 4.2V, if the charger is designed for the former, the later (New one) will charge beyond it's maximum capacity and might explode or gas, just my 2 cents, the amp hour or watt hour is a measure of capacity and is irrelevant, it's the voltage that is indicative of chemistry ;) please reconsider or at least, don't charge it beyond 90%, or better yet, fully charge it while the cover is still open and then measure the voltage of the battery when fully charged

Good point. I just changed my battery and double checked the charging Voltage. It charges at 4.22V. So slightly above what a 3.7V nominal battery should be charged with, but probably still in a safe enough range. I think many common overcharge protections trip at 4.3V (please correct me if I'm wrong)

anda hay que joderse ya se que camara termica no tengo que comprarme en la vida , para cmbiar una bateria todo un show es de risa señores de flir
Wow, I've used webcams for years and none needed to be ever charged. What's going on? And yes, I have 2 iPhones bulging like that because their dead batteries are tearing them apart. It's unbelievable how bad these disposable things are made that a normal person can't even replace a dead battery.
