Clarisonic Mia Battery Replacement Part 1: Replacing with the Eneloop

Part 2 video -    • Clarisonic Mia Battery Replacement Part 2:...   This video shows how I crack open the Mia (same for Mia 2). Replacing the original battery with Eneloop battery, which is IMO - the best rechargeable battery at its price range (last up to 10 years with up to 2100 charge cycles). You can use any rechargeable AA but I just want this sucker to last longer time before I fix it or toss it. The BEST and FASTEST way to open the case, is to use a Rotary Tool like a Dremel or Black & Decker RTX-B with Dremel #409 Cut-off Wheels. It's fast and safe, trust me! But if you don't have it ready and don't want to spend that $50. A knife and 30-45 minutes will do the work. Notice I didn't use glue to seal the gap. Instead, I used Silicone Tape alone. So if anything goes wrong, I won't have to go thru the painful cracking process. For complete sealing (PLEASE DO!), I recommend first using Hot Glue gun with Precision Tip (clamp it while you are doing it). Then apply Silicone Tape like I did for the best sealing result. $5 Silicone Tape: X-Treme Tape TPE-XZLCLR Silicone Rubber Self Fusing Tape 1" x 10' Link: http://www.amazon.com/X-Treme-Tape-TP... $11 Eneloop AA (4): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JHKSN76/r...
