Dexcom G5 Transmitter Battery Replacement??

[donnac1968]

I saw on Twitter yesterday that you can replace the battery in a Dexcom transmitter! Anyone done this?? If so how and which battery?
Thx.

There's a good guide on youtube which includes a list of the items you will need.
I've tried changing one before and came very close to succeeding but failed towards the end when a pin detached. Its quite tricky. Will try again though in the near future.

Thanks. I’ll order a new one soon then play with this one

Have a look at the Facebook group "CGM transmitter battery replacement UK" It's non profit.
Craig replaced a G4 battery for £60. Worked well.
