Removing the Power Meter Battery (BT1)
1. Remove the A2 processor assembly as described on page 5-9.
2. Remove the A2J1 link to disconnect the battery from the rest of 
the circuitry.
3. Verify the battery protection circuitry by:
■ ensuring that there are no electrical short circuits across the 
battery terminals.
■ ensure that there are no voltages present which could apply a 
charging voltage.
4. Once the protection circuit has been verified remove the battery. 
The battery is siliconed to the assembly. It may be necessary to 
remove it using a scalpel.
5. Store the battery individually in an anti-static (dissipative) bag or 
suitable non-conductive packaging.
6. After replacing the battery secure it using a tie wrap. This should 
be secured from the top of the A2 processor assembly. The 
recommended tie wrap part number is 1400-1154.
7. Replace the A2J1 link.
WARNING   This power meter uses a lithium battery which may 
explode if mishandled. The battery should not be subjected 
to short circuit of the battery terminals or to excessive 
heat.
Do not recharge this battery or dispose of it by burning. 
Check local country regulatory requirements on the 
disposal of lithium batteries.
