Very clear directions with excellent photo accompaniment. Battery shown is not the 1500 mAh recommended by manufacturer.

I have linked it in the instructions but here it is, https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07K1J4…. The key is to find a battery that fits the headset.

Remember to reorient the wires, Step 5. For this battery, I had to swap the yellow and black wires.
