Leikr modification
![Post Post](./styles/art_elegance/imageset/icon_topic_latest.gif)
Dear all,
A few months ago a used Leikr watch was donated to me . The battery only lasted a bit over two hours. So i decided to modify the watch so new battery would fit.
With the new battery i switched on watch and kept it with me with backlight on for 6.5 hours and only one stripe of powermeter was gone.
Removed cover and placed new battery

Cut out part of cover with lasercutter, but carefully with sharp knife wil work to. Printed new part for the backcover on my 3D printer that fits into the cutout part. This was needed to fit the 800mah battery that is slightly higher.
