Use this guide to replace a worn-out or dead battery in your Galaxy Buds Live. The photos for this guide were taken with the left earbud, but the procedure is the same for both buds.
Galaxy Buds Live are rated IPX2 for ingress-resistance, meaning they are splash resistant. After this repair, they may lose their water protection.

Thanks!!! This works great to clean the felt earwax filter underneath the metal grate as well!
Graxias. Podrías indicarme la referencia de la bateria?
Thanks for the guidance.
It was easy to open the bud and to take it apart.
Just notice that there's no marking for + or - anywhere, to know on what side to put the battery. and the new one that I've got was wider then the plastic circle on the original battery.
I have a question. I can see that there is a battery contact point under the battery but that should be one of the terminals, right? Where is the contact for the other terminal? Is it part of the motherboard that sits on top of the battery?
