I'm about to embark on replacing the battery for my fitbit surge. After having it for over 2 years it requires a charge about twice a day which get annoying.
Does removing/replacing the battery require the moderate soldering skill?
Looks like it must.
The last photo I think shows the tool prying the force feedback motor, the battery is the white plastic covered slim brick on the top right.
You do not need to cut bands off
The replacement battery for the Fitbit Surge can be found here:
It also includes all of the tools (except soldering iron) needed for the repair.
