Truly great service to Xvive owners. I was so frustrated with newly bought Xvive U2 signal dropping out after 2 hours. Then I observed that when connected to charger I would be fine. This video saved my wireless receiver... I was going to buy something else.. After replacing battery, per video instructions, I am now getting 6 hours+ play time ... Thank you, thank you.. .
Thank you for this, my friend! I have been having trouble with bad connections in the transmitters, probably from inserting and removing them a lot from my guitars. I could not figure out how to fix the problem until I watched you take the collar off of the shaft. Then I could see the bad connection, solder it, and put it back together. I thought I was going to have to throw them away (I had two bad ones). You saved me a lot of money...thank you! :) ~Clinton
Thank you very much for the instructions. My receiver was shutting down after 1 hour of use and now I installed a bigger battery. I managed to do everything without a problem. For those who intend to do this procedure, it is easy but really needs patience. My tip for removing glue from the battery is to use a guitar pick.
Thanks so much for this guide - My transmitter got knocked off the mixing desk straight into my pint! (After gig had finished!) Your guide helped me strip it down to enable me to clean the board and all the legs off the solid state circuitry. Once clean it fired up as normal! Thanks again!
I bought the same battery on your recommendation, works fine, buuuuut, the light never turns off after charging (even after 8 hours) and when it started flashing after a few minutes of usage, I thought it was not holding charge and flat already, but the unit seems to work for ages while flashing. Could the battery be a different capacity and is triggering the “low battery” warning immediately?
So, I finally got around to doing this. I had 2 Xvive systems where the receiver wouldn't last more than 10 minutes. So, I took the battery out of one transmitter and put it in the receiver. I was lucky as both sets had plugs for the batteries so no soldering. Also, as far as removing the battery with that glue, a piece of fishing line behind it working back and forth worked like a charm (if you've ever debadged a car, you know what I'm talking about). I did remove the circuitboard to do this as there was enough blank board on the bottom to get it in a vice to hold it steady. So, I made one more good set out of a 2 bad ones. In probably less than 20 minutes. I don't know how long it will last, but I'll be sure to report back. Also, both receiver batteries that were dead were puffy.. not a good sign. I had also tried draining them multiple times, freezing them, etc.. nothing worked. I am confident if I can find replacement batteries I could do it again in a few minutes. Thanks for the video!
your welcome and check places like wish and banggood for the batteries you need to take the measurements of your stock ones to match them up but you can do it
Thanks Kevin. As a diy-er you've probably considered cracking into you a cell phone to make a repair....There is a whole world of repair kits with pry tools are made of varying hardnesses of plastic, including guitar picks that are great for opening cases and protecting cases + delicate electronics inside. At 9:13 you even mention hard plastic object... Try a PICK!! Also at 9:15 that glue a heat activated goop. If you have a sample / old wrecked transmitter you might try a heat gun on it and post the results in a Part II to this vid.
i know Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Bentlee Fox i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Hello! Kudos to the super tutorial! I've these since Xmas 2019 and were working fine up to yesterday. Since then the units fire up but the blue LED flickers when they are apart not more than 40 centimeters. Furthermore if i place them in between my knees (really a small obstacle ;-)) , the blue LED goes out. They've been fully charged and i've tried all four channels with the same result . Also turned off the home router with the same result. Really appreciate the community to help me out before i start something invasive 😊
likey the batteries need to be replaced even a weak battery will take a full charge so it says but it really is not fully charged after 4 years it is time for new batteries for sure , how ever you can try a test and go away from the home bring a mini amp with you if you have one other wise just the units and a guitar and plug the transmitter into the guitar and turn on both and see if it still happens when your not at home or near to many people .. my boss system is getting interfeared with at home right now we have fiquired its the new interenet system we have becuase this never happen untill then and one iam at our chuch or any where else they hold a solid connection, the last set of Xvives I had also would not hold a connection at home only at the church now we do have internet at church and other guitar gear and mic gear thats all wireless and none of that stuff interfears so its something to do with out current interent provider here at home which is totally different then our chuch internet , now that being said weak batteries can also do the same thing to you, so its one or the other so you need away from home and away from alot of people testing to be sure what it is if it does it at home and ever where else then it likey is the batterys,, there is also one othert possibility if you droped them one to many times that can also screw them up..
Thanks for the video. I’ve just changed the batteries in my old u2s. Reassembly is fiddly but everything now works fine. I used 700mah batteries which are slightly longer than the factory 25x25mm 650mah and they went in with no problems. If anyone else tries this be aware a crushed or punctured battery may start a fire so be careful.
@@theID2 You do realize the 700 mAh is a measure of battery capacity and has nothing to do with the physical dimensions, right? You'll find 700 mAh batteries in a variety of package sizes to fit different applications. You have to check the dimensions.
I just changed the battery in my XVive U2 transmitter. It was no problem at all. I could only find the battery in China, so the shipping took a little longer, so I bought 5 of these batteries for $14.99. I bought 3.7V 700mAh 802535 Li Polymer Rechargeable Batteries and they fit and work perfectly. I simply cut the wires close to the old battery and soldered the new battery wires to the old wires and plugged it in. I figured I can store the other 4 batteries and be prepared the next time I need one. I did learn that you shouldn't run Lipo batteries completely dead, but charge them while they still have juice left over. Just do a gig, and charge them up again. Don't run them until they are dead, or you'll shorten the life of the batteries. Just my 2 cents. I never have any issues with the Xvive U2 wireless unit performance, just a dead battery of my own doing.
i run the sinlge cell lipos dead ones a month and i get longer live that way you just dont leave them dead for long so once they are dead i leave them 1 hour then charge them even lipo batteries can hold a memory and the only way to clear them is to run them till they are dead once in awhile i do the same with my phone as well
Thank you. Mine are used and I had opened them up once before to do some cleaning and lubrication of the switches, but now I fear the battery in the transmitter is going. I had forgotten how fiddly they are.
thank you for this video. I changed both of mine today, so far so good. I used 800 mah just the simillar dimantion ( I live in Taiwan, very easy to find these batteries )
I installed the 3.7V 700mAh 802535 Li Polymer Rechargeable Batteries in both units now. The receiver battery began to act up, just like the transmitter battery had done before. Charged up they would go into "low battery blink mode" and die within an hour or two. With both new batteries installed, I charged up the units, then turned them on and let them stay on... for like 8 hours and they never went into "low battery blink mode". 8 hours! So, perhaps when you look for new batteries, and you will have to at some time, find the 802535 3.7V 700mAh if you can. I keep them at storage voltage, controlled temperature, so I should be good for a year or two of storage. I don't know if they would hold up for 8 hours while playing, but 8 hours is a long time even just turned on and hanging out in my music room. I don't know how long they would have actually stayed on, if I left them alone for a longer time. I had to go to bed!
you have to fully change them and store them that way when not in use, there is no way toput them into a storage mode once installed into the units , you got 8 hours of no use run time thats different then auctal run time doing their job but i would make a test to see what the playing run time is for sure
@@KevinMillard68 I'm not talking about storage of the batteries in the units, I'm referring to the extra batteries I purchased. And yes, I know how to charge and store Lipo batteries. I'm fully aware that there could be a difference between the units simply turned on, and how they might perform while playing, but I don't think I'll be playing my guitar for hours and hours just to see how long they last. LOL It was just an observation, since the normal batteries would have died out before 8 hours, simply sitting there turned on. I won't be doing a play test for hours and hours, and I don't think anyone else will either, unless you fancy doing it yourself... Pick up some 700mAh batteries and let me know how it goes! For me, the 4 - 5 hours I normally perform, including sound check, brief rehearsal, playing, break time and playing again, I'm pretty sure I can simply leave the units on for the entire process and not run into a low battery situation. I used to turn them off after sound check, rehearsal, then turn them on for the first set, off again until the second set. Problem arises when I forgot to turn them back on a time or two. Kinda frustrating to start the set and notice my guitar was silent! Bend down, turn on the receiver, turn on the transmitter and I was good to go, all though a little embarrassed. LOL
Hey man, my unit falls on the floor, and the red LED stop working, I was wondering if it was the battery, so I open the unit and for my surprise It was only the LED, when I was closing the unit the power button switch broken, I managed to put two wires in an on off button switch and it worked, anyway thanks a lot, your video helped me a lot!
Thanks. I had a transmitter that was intermittent, as I disassembled it I saw the black wire was not soldered to the plug's collar. Soldered it back on an all is well.
i dont get any noise from mine so guess thats a matter of opinion on the ground wire, if there is noise its the pups in the guitar or some other problem but not the wireless unit
Hi Kevin, thanks to your video I changed the batteries of my XVive U2 system. The problem I had was that, from time to time, on the receiver, the blue button would flash and vibrate the sound, a bit like a tremolo. I thought it would go away by changing the batteries, but the problem is still there. Do you have any idea where this would come from? If anyone has had this problem and resolved it, please let me know how to do it. Thanks again for this video.
got it all apart per your vid -thanks much. but after I pried off the batter from the circuit board I was able to unplug the white connector -the newer units must not be a solder connector. Now I'm off to order my replacement batter -fingers crossed ;-}
Hi, Kevys RC & Music,,, very good video that is helpfull and well demonstrated.A piece of advice though...........I have been an electronics engineer for many years.It is NOT recommended to remove what you referred to as a "Ground tap wire". You were most likely correct in your 2nd description of "Ground shield". Many GHz transmission and reception circuits require protection from themselves and other external sources. That shield is "most likely" there to shield OTHER circuits in this device from the transmission/reception of the GHz frequencies,,, or to protect certain circuits from ambient frequencies coming from external sources. I would replace that piece back into the unit and for those that watch this video, I recommend you not remove it.Again,,, nice job on your video.
THANKS, I learned how to open it. My U2 just went mute and just has a very low digital buzzzzz and the signal is very thin, low. Wonder what there is.... it does not work anymore. You can mend a cable!
Would a piece of fishing line work to get out the battery... sort of like removing badges from a car? Hold it on each end and go behind battery and sort of saw down with the fishing line.
How to change the charging pin of the receiver because my lead singer step on it ,..arrgggh....what is the type of the pin to replaced it thanks in advance sir ....
you cant you buy a new set how evcer you might find parts some where on the internet but its more trouble then its worth to do so id just get a new set and make your singer pay them
Hello and thank you for this video. I am going to change the Xvive U2 receiver battery. In the comments, some people put 700 mah batteries instead of 500 mah as you point out. Is it good or not. THANKS
Thanks a lot. Terrific tutorial - one of the best I have ever seen! Keep it up. Do you know if this unit also works with a piezo pickup on a classical guitar. Thanks for any advice
yes it will work on all acoustic preamp pickups as a far as i know so far i have had not issues with takamine or fishmans even someof the no name sytems have been fine only problems so far are active pups on full electric guitars and bass guitars with active pups all passive pups have been great
@@KevinMillard68 I found out this unit will not work with an active microphone pickup like the LR Baggs Lyric - it sets up a squeal that you can't get rid of. I contacted Xvive and they confirmed this.
@@reoguy43 i have used these on Fender cc60 sce martin DRS1 taylor 114ce 110e takamine gd-30 taylor 314ce and a few others with no problems at all i have also tested them with a few chinese no name pickupsystems as well no prblems. they do say they dont work with activer pups but any pickup system that uses batteries to power the pups is consider to be active how ever in all the acoutics i have mentioned i have used them with an no probelms its possible your LR braggs also has no ground lift sytem in it which can cause problems that or your preamp output is to high of output again that can cause problems as well with any system ,, i just put a fifine wireless headset in my new yamaha dgx660 and had to turn the keyobards preamp control way back in order to use the headset with out feed back problems and it works perfect.. i have tested wireless guitar kits of many sorts on keyobards as well and not one of them that said you can do it ever worked on them so there is some advertizing that was no right they said it would work well it didnt not everthing is a 100% gaurntee to work or not
@@KevinMillard68 The Lyric uses only a microphone pickup (no under saddle PU). I have the Lyric in a Martin D1R and a Yamaha FG-830. The squeal I get is not feedback - guitar is silent. I have tried several other wireless systems (Rowin and Nady) with the same results. I contacted LR Baggs support yesterday, but have not heard back from them. Also, where can I find the battery? Email is reo43@aol.com
@@reoguy43 well then id ditch it and get a real pickup put in no offence but microphone pickups are garbadge noting but problems and sound bad as well they cause alot of low and hi end hum and are just well in my opinion junk. i have messed with alot of pickup systems over the years and any that had a micorphone were horriable. they are so picky to get just right and most times it still does not help them out properly .. you problem is the mic its acting like an active pickup but in the wrong way if you know what i mean .. you need and under saddle pickup system that or go back to a cable on your guitar and i know you dont want to hear that but its how it is ,, now that i know what your running these are the soloutions..the only other soloution that might and i say might help is Boss has a wireless system that works specificially for active pickups but will cover all types and they have a set that is made for reguial guitars with passive and also works with all the guitars i mentioned eairler that have undersaddle system only .. i can not guartee that your system with even work with bosses active wireless system but its worth a shot to try and see what happens ..
Thanks for the video. I was hesitant to buy these before knowing the batter can be replaced. One question. Why not find some mini connectors for the battery wires (such as a screw down terminal block)? Unless there's no room for this, it seems like this would save on the solder work for future battery changes. Thanks!
Xvive won't tell you anything about size batteries the u2 takes, they told me they're not supposed to be replaced because of the danger.. my u2 has 3.7v 650 mah with a plug to plug in. Can't find the correct one
check aliexpress and banggood under rc batteries,and when i was with them they told me batterys can be reoplaced under warranty or they have a place for off warranty as well how ever this it seems has changed from what your telling me but you can get thrd party batterys from chinese websites and do it your self
Thank you for posting this. I just received a different brand but they have the same profile as yours. I wouldn’t be surprised if all these things are made in the same factory. They are defective but are sending a new set and told me to keep the old. It charges and pairs fine but there are random fluctuations with the sound. My only hope is to take them apart and see if there is an obvious abnormality. Could that third wire be an antenna? I was hoping there might be a trim pot on the board, but I guess not.
I changed the batteries in my Xvive with 700ma batteries. Note that the JST connectors on almost all the batteries you can buy have a connector that's too big to fit into the Xvive's JST slot. (Xvive wouldn't sell me replacement batteries). After putting in the new batteries splicing them to smaller JST connectors, the units work, but the red "on" indicator light does not come on when the receiver is turned on. It comes on if the receiver is charging (so the light itself isn't broken), but it doesn't turn on when the unit is on. The red light works fine on the transmitter. Any idea what could be causing this problem or how to fix it?
@@KevinMillard68 Thanks for the reply. Before I changed the batteries, the red light would be on when the receiver was on. The blue light is on when it's linked to the transmitter. If I turn the transmitter off, there are no lights illuminated on the receiver, so you can't tell it's on. So if you forget to shut it off you wouldn't know it was still on without the red light on. Mine wasn't like that before (if I forgot to turn it off, the red light on the receiver would be lit to remind me). There'll also be no flashing low battery warning light if the red light isn't on. Is that how all your Xvives work? You have no indication the receiver is on when it's not linked to the transmitter?
@@KevinMillard68 Just noticed at 14:45 in your video you say that the (red) light on the transmitter won't come back on. This happened on the receiver only for me (the transmitter red light still turns on). Why would changing the battery disable the red light from turning on when the unit is on? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.
take them apart get the batteries out order new ones same size from aliexpress or ebay or banggood etc, unsoder the old ones and solder in the new ones
Thanks for the video. I changed my battery as you showed, all is ok it works but the red led is always blinking, even if the new battery is fully charged. do you have a tip for this? thanks
Hey just want your opinion on this,the transmitter won’t hold any charge and keeps flashing red when it’s in the off position connected to the charger.it still works connected to the charger though.Just wondering if it’s a battery problem maybe,but it’s a couple years old so definitely out of warranty so just thinking maybe take it to the local guitar shop and see if they’d be able to change it if that’s the problem
Hi Kevy, you're a brave man undertaking that :-) Thanks so much for the informative "how to" guide, very useful. I've got a unit that is "going off the boil", batterywise, and I'm keen to swap out my batteries too. With a little googling I've found a replacement but I'm not sure of the battery form factor. Could you please measure your battery for me. Also, the ground plane should probably be left intact as my guess is that it is there to reduce radio frequency interference. I think you'll find that a clever little engineer spent a bit of time designing that and would be horrified to hear you say it is serving no purpose and throwing it out :-) Thirdly, clearly your "broken" unit still operates. Have you considered 3d printing the broken part? I've had good success with this, although I'm an electronics engineer and have all the CAD software I need to achieve a result, it costs nothing in the grand scheme of things to have a tiny part made :-) Cheers for being brave enough to dive right in.
thanks and i think i still have the battery ill check and ill do a video on just the replacment battery size for these units,, so stay tunned to the channel ill get it uploaded very soon for you
Hi Kevy. I'm good to go now with the battery order as my unit is down to about 1.5 hours battery life now. if you could just rat around for that old battery and just post the measurements here, don't worry about the video, just the numbers will be fine. I'd really appreciate it. If you can't find the battery just let me know and I'll dive right into my one and find out myself. I was just hoping I could order the batt before pulling the unit apart for the repair to save down time. Cheers :-)
Cheers Kevy, I've ordered new ones. I'll let you know how I get on. Also, just for fun, I ordered some 800mAh units as well. They are slightly bigger but I reckon they'll go in :-)
@@KevinMillard68 Thanks for the courtesy of a reply. That explains why I have seen some that say won't take a charge after 1 year and others say 2 and three years. So the answer is pretty much depends how much you use them.
are these hex screws? They are so small i can't tell :) My transmitter will no longer charge, not sure if it's a problem with the battery or connector?
Hey man GREAT video! I've encountered a problem when I use the system after a charge they connect but theres no sound. If i plug them back in to charge and turn them on whilst charging for a bit then unplug the charger the units work. Do you think this is to do with the batteries? Or do you have any ideas. Much appreciated!
I have a similar problem on one of my sets. LEDs light and units pair. But no audio. Or more correctly very weak & noisy audio. Since I have multiple sets, I tested with transmitter from 2nd set and it worked fine. Thus in my case it’s only the transmitter unit failing and that doesn’t work with a known good receiver. Could be battery or something in the circuit. I’ll probably try to replace the battery. Did you ever try to fix yours?
im guessing you could upgrade it to a bigger capacity battery with the size similar or smaller to the default battery. can i ask the dimensions of the battery
you will have to take it apart and measure it your self as batterys are not always 100% the same measurments and i cant help you any how i no longer have these anymroe sence i upgrade to the boss wireless
sorry, but this video has too much comments. can you put the battery type or even a link to which battery type should we buy to make the repair? at the video description i say... (sorry for any english mistakes, not my language haha) i'm afraid to buy one and doesn't make a fit to the units... great video by the way!
i would love to do that but i think it only fair that people can just take there stuff apart their self which they will; be doing anyhow then take the measurements of it then search all the Chinese places like banggood aliexpress and so on i cant not justify giving all the answers to people
I got 2 batteries £22.78 inc vat and p&p that fit from Ebay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194001010017 3.7v 800mAh 1S Polymer Rechargeable Battery: GPS Camera Speaker - 802535 -Size: 8*25*35mm
no one has that answer no 2 batters are egual for this and then again we also dont know how long you are using the set for and the one battery always loses moire power then the other one its how Tx and rX systems work the one with the heavery load dies sooner we also dont know what the charge state is per unit for each said use so there is not anwer other then to say couldbe alot could be not alot to many variables to give you a real answer
Hi. I have this wireless unit and today I went to use it and the sound is very faint. They are fully charged and LEDs are fully lit but I do not know what happened. I have also cycled through all the channels. Is it possible my pedalboard has fried the receiver? Thanks
could a a problem on your pedeal board or even your amp did you tray going back to a guitar cable to make sure your gear is fine also keep in mind if you have active pickups these are not made to work with active pickups
my unit after few seconds stop it frezzes , need to run out battery to see if it works again , anyway to reset unit or update? it´s my receiver its crazy , need to push on and off button but only last 2 seconds
thats because you pull out what in there now take the specs and measurements and find same thing online and thats what you order thats why i never told you all
I bought the 700 mHz Chinese Guitar Wireless System. After a year, & just in the last day or two, they started to go flakey. Dropping signal, sometimes the power LED indicates as lit up that it has adequate power. Not sure whether it's the TX or RX unit though, although. Could be a bad battery or the actual PCB circuitry ? With those, it's just cheaper to have a spare handy or just buy another & recycle them.
@@KevinMillard68 Just dismantled the RX unit. Since the TX seems to be signalling the RX and it intermittently functions properly, then it cuts out is the reason why I chose to dismantle the RX unit. Anyway, the battery markings are indicated, the + & - leads are marked, PN I is ZY 702535 and specs are 3.7V 600 mAh & last is the 2019/04/24 date stamp. DC voltage read is 4.05V after a full charge. I'm certain the RX unit is defective rather than a bad battery with that reading. During operation, it seems to drift thru the channels for reception trying to lock on to the TX signal. Regardless of the systems 4 channels it makes no difference what channel I select on the TX or RX units, it's still the same intermittent play & cut out. It was fun to take it apart and see the guts. I first thought it may have been broadcast interference, but I haven't introduced anything operating in the frequency range that would disrupt or even outright take that frequency like a 2.4/5 Ghz computer router and wifi would. No microwave interference either, since the 700-730 Mhz frequency is what operates in that range. The units were always a little hissy & loud regardless of where I played. I was hoping there was a tuner/trim adjustment inside that might eliminate that noise, similar to a AM/FM radio tuner trying to lock onto a bandwidth frequency with a weaker & more distant transmitter & radio signal. I need to remove the PCB to see if that's the case for adjusting the unit ? If there is adjusting screw, I can use a pedal amp to tweak that. I'll take photos and probably find a forum or put them on Facebook or Google Images so that someone else can assess whether a $ 20 Chinese wireless is even worth piddling with. Not sure it's a matter of getting what you paid for with such a simple device on a wafer of a PCB. Hunting down new guts appears to be a waste of time as would a battery swap. A battery is anywhere from $ 2-7.50 on line, but then you have to consider S&H and the labor involved. Anyway, back to learning more about these things.
Well, I did get the RX working again, it's a defective power switch and PCB mounting issue. Turning the power switch on & off has done something to the solder connection of the switch & PCB trace of the board itself where the switch is located . My permanent solution is to order & replace with a new RX unit. The temporary solution was to leave the RX unit in the "always" on position and charge it constantly. It's not really gig-able & stage reliable for sure at this point in the repair process. The warranty on similar A8 GWS is 6 months, 30 day returns and this GWS is a year old at this point, so they know they don't last very long anyway, especially when they sell replacement units for either the TX or RX. The way I have it temporarily operating, it's just a matter of time before the TX has an issue with the on/off power switch just the same ? But I can switch around the other 3 channels (4 channels in total) with either the TX or RX, as it works on all channels properly beyond the RX turning on & off properly. Definitely order another complete set and use the bad unit & set for parts or recycle it as garbage. They do have good & strong batteries in that regard. The PCB is tiny, pretty complex for what looks like inexpensive SMT parts. I doubt I can solder much more than a battery & wires, so the parts are really beyond cherry picking as a donor GWS.
@@jimcamp2423 you can always solder the power swich back in place if its broken off the contacts either way if you have a soloution then great.. i did goto the boss units and never had a problem ,, boss rules when it comes to effects amps and now wireless systems,, these tho are great little units the boss ones are so much better i cant complain to much on these ones tho but the boss does allow for 14 auto search channels to make sure no problems with any other systems and no power switches to worry about and 2 times more run time then these ones and boss has an awesome warranty as well on there stuff to and the build quailty of the boss is also way better then any other systems i have owned or used as well

My problem of my xvive u2 is range is not far now. Its only about 2 meters now. Please advice if you problem like mine. Any video how to fix the entenna?
i got no idea whats affecting your range if they are still iunder warranty you can get them replaced if not then buy a new set of get the boss wireless system i have the new boss system and love it longer run time auto channel searhing to 14 different channels range is also really good to.. and longer warranty from boss as well ,
I have the same problem with 1 of my 3 xvives. The range is now 3 meters line of sight. If I turn or some thing is in the way I get signal drop. I'm thinking of eMailing xvive to ask how much a replacement board would cost. xviveaudio.com/art/contact-us-a0045.html
i recently did my transmitter added a slightly bigger battery 650 milamp my transmitter did not have soldered wires to the board it was a plug in to the board and matched my replacement battery
take them apart take the measurements and the mah are written on them they are single cell lipo cells order batteiers from either xvive driect or go on sites like aliexpress or banggood under the rc parts area for batteries match up what you need and go from there
i have not had to replace the batterys as of yet but you can take the mesurments and check all the chinese dealers for RC stuff online for batterys or just contact Xvive for replacment batteries they should last thoe for along long time before any replacement is needed my other sets have over 200 +++charges each on them and still going strong , once every month or two i run them till they shut down then let them sit for about 1 hour then recharge them this will help keep the batteries in great shape for along time..
Not an X Vive owner but i own a Getaria system. I realized that the battery life dropped and i went to open it up an fix it. As it was, both wires were busted but still stayed connected to the head. I'm trying to clip it back on since i only have one screw to use on this but the clips on either side got busted when i opened it up (it literally popped open) and i need to fix it back so it can be closed. Can you guys help me on what i should do?
auctually no i have not its how these are made so ther is no way around it , if you in fact have a set of these xvives it will be the same processee unless they have changed the design which i have not seen any in canada even a recent set i reneted was made the same way and ihave owned several sets of these and rented 1 set recentally and all the same. so how long ago did you get a seto f these svives that have what your talking about id be interested in seeing a set that comes apart as you have said.
I need help ! When i turn on the kit, led turns on and it seems to be working but if i play guitar you can ear anithing! I mean that the kit seems to work in fact i can recharge it but in the moment of playing guitar i can't hear nothing!! What would be the problem?
@@valve4 if they are fully charged and they are bound to each other properly then you should be good to go, how ever its possible that a wire broke off in side one of the units youll have to take them apart to find out, unless of course you have the warranty in which case they get replaced so l ong as you dont mess with them
these are rechargeable units so they run off the battery and there is no way you could run them from a usb cable each unless it was really freaking long and you were really careful as well so iam going with no not off the cable
@@KevinMillard68 No, I mean, would it work if I took the battery out of the receiver, and kept it connected to usb? The receiver doesn't move around... The battery in my receiver has swollen and I'm wondering if I could just remove it and run it off usb, or do I need to replace it to make it functional...
i cant help you other then to say if its under 1 year old there is a warranty so you need to claim it... if your over the 1 year then buy a new set or go for a different brand like boss ,, i cant not tell you what the problem is with your unit when its not in front of me.. you can also try running the batterys in both till they are both dead then let sit for 1 hour then fully recharge them and see what happens..
@@jacksondkofficial you can show me what ever you want i cant help you if its not in front of me , if your units are with in the 1 year warranty just claim the warrantee otherwise get a new set as it would not be worth the money for you to even ship them to me to be repaired and thats if i can repair them
Soo the batteries are not changable right? i have the same unit and my reciever seems easily drain faster than my transmitter.. damn im dissapointed with this unit by this issues.
the batteries can be changed buy the factoy or i belive also a dealer i know they have a place in canada that can replace them as for the USA not sure you can email Xvive about it
@@KevinMillard68 These are actually pretty easy to find ... uxcell Power Supply DC 3.7V 500mAh 602530 Li-ion Rechargeable Lithium Polymer Li-Po Battery, costs ... a.co/d/dGQVOQM
I have had this issue, I tried leaving the receiver plugged in to a charge source(laptop, or usb to electric plug adapter-like for a D. camera-), and the unit works all day, Much longer than five hours straight. So it appears one side takes much longer to discharge than the other.
nope you take it out check the mah measure the size of the battery look for the same thing at places like aliexpress and bang good that or just email the company to sell you the replacements
Hi, i need help. The reception on my xvive u2 drops even when theres an object it between, like when i place it behind my back, what could be the problem? The blue light in the receiver keeps blinking, and the signal is really bad, could this be a battery problem? Please help
its possible the battery is low your supposed to rechage them after each use and if you have not used them in sometime then you should top them off before use
take it back if its less then 1 year or turn the volume on your amp down a bit see if its still there all amps have a hiss sound the more the volume is up the more you hear it if all else fails change channels on the kit or send back for warranty
take out a one of the battereis get the mesurments then goto chinese websites like banggood or wish and order them that way or get hold of the company and they should have a source for you
you have 2 Ways to get replacments 1 you go to the company and order the stock replacment ones or 2 you take out a battert do all the mesurments and check the MAH of the battery and hunt down replacments on the internet
At 10:30 you say "more hassle than it's worth". Right. Given our time value of money, and the years this cheezy little thing gave me service, I'd say you're right on that part. And I can blow up my shop if I poke it wrong? Ok, cool. So, in my infinite wisdom, being up there in years, with the patience of a hummingbird, I say smash that little phucker with a hammer, enjoy that emotional release of potential frustration and move on. Buy a better unit. Unfortunately I think this was meant to be another throw away product, which sucks... BUT - I commend you guys for giving this a rip. Maybe you could start a little custom repair business, that would clear almost $39 a day doing several of these an hour. Kyool. But I'm gonna go clear downed power lines for $900 an hour and probably have a little better risk/reward. AGAIN - you're a friggin stud for doing this work, but as you say, it's not your first rodeo, but it never will be mine. Thanks for the content - Best of luck to all of you who go down this avenue. Put a value on your time... Thanks Kevy, and Cheers to y'all!
li poly batterys can cause fires if you puncture them dont believe me ask people that have lost their homes in such fires. sure they are a throw away product what istnt if you dont want to rpeair them then they are if not you can fix them but you have to be carefull when messing with li poly and lion batteries in all the products they are in . i personaly would never get into fixing this stuff for a living the money would be great if i did but only if there wa s a call for it but there is not mainly because more and more people get into doing this them self once they see how to videos .. id rather work on computers for people my self and repair stuff that is comman to fix. these units will varly when they die and need new batterys .. I dont even fix alot my own stuff anymore i just get extended coverage for as long as i can this way i can go and do things that are more fun to fix or just have fun in life.
I completely believe you Kev, my point is just that I don't want to mess around with it. I could phuck up a rock, so I'd rather not mess with the kind of stuff you did in the video. It was a great watch, just not in my swim lane. Tks. @@KevinMillard68
@@KevinMillard68 :( I took out my finger with a flathead screwdriver trying to get the collar off...! bastards. Thanks for the video though it was helpful. Not sure what I'm going to end up doing, I might as well try to get them to do a warranty claim but I'm not holding my breath.
dont know take one out and check yours take the mesurments and order what you need there is no part numbers on the battery just the volts and mah so you have to mesure the size of the battery it self and go from there
you can have the battereis replaced or you can attempt it your self i have a video on this, one thing you can try that sometimes works is charge them up fully tune them on and leave them on till they die do this 3 times in a row one the 4th charge up test them to see how long they last and let me know how it goes these use lipoly batteires and even tho the science says thehy wont build a memory i have found this to be total BS give it a go and see what happens
I've had my Xvives for 4 yrs. and my battery on the receiver is gone. I see clearly what I have to do. Drop another $149.99 to save myself from the anger and frustration of trying this and failing, as I will inevitably do.
@@joeyguitarlo well you wont get your money back, but warranties are handy for sure.. i went boss in the end for many reasons the xvies are great but the boss ones have the extra edge over the rest of them including xvives

Would anyone wanna purchase my Xvive U2? It's now faulty, perhaps you can change the battery, or idk exactly what's wrong, but quite certain it can be fixed. Just that, in my area (Malaysia, Penang), no one is interested to fix it for me. So, please, anyone, offer me a small price, I'll send it to you. =)
its all about the clean alot fo cheap wireless systems have alot of noise which you dont want to have , these are really clean not as clean as the boss systems or other really expensive but you do get what you pay for when it comes to guitar wireless systems and not everone is made of money so there are those that will want to replace the batteries if they can this set sells for 200.000 cnd so not cheap for sure. and they work as well in most guitars out there due to the flexable shaft and again they produce really clean souind which people that care want clean sound
Truly great service to Xvive owners. I was so frustrated with newly bought Xvive U2 signal dropping out after 2 hours. Then I observed that when connected to charger I would be fine.
This video saved my wireless receiver... I was going to buy something else..
After replacing battery, per video instructions, I am now getting 6 hours+ play time ...
Thank you, thank you..
.
your welcome and happy to hear things worked out for you
your welcome
That's cool but if they were "newly bought" why didn't you just send them back for replacement under warranty? There's a 1 year warranty on new units.
Thank you for this, my friend!
I have been having trouble with bad connections in the transmitters, probably from inserting and removing them a lot from my guitars. I could not figure out how to fix the problem until I watched you take the collar off of the shaft. Then I could see the bad connection, solder it, and put it back together.
I thought I was going to have to throw them away (I had two bad ones).
You saved me a lot of money...thank you!
:)

wow , good to hear they are fixed tho great job
Same thing happened to mine…battery is fine but the connection drops when the stupid thing moves around on the hinge.
Thank you very much for the instructions. My receiver was shutting down after 1 hour of use and now I installed a bigger battery. I managed to do everything without a problem. For those who intend to do this procedure, it is easy but really needs patience. My tip for removing glue from the battery is to use a guitar pick.
cool stuff so how are the units working for you now
What battery did u put in? Looking for 1

your welcome and ya they dont like drinking and playing
Great! My receiver battery died ( 1 year) i bought a 700mA battery for both device. They work for 8 hour and half.
Thanks for the video!
cool stuff

Thanks.

I bought the same battery on your recommendation, works fine, buuuuut, the light never turns off after charging (even after 8 hours) and when it started flashing after a few minutes of usage, I thought it was not holding charge and flat already, but the unit seems to work for ages while flashing. Could the battery be a different capacity and is triggering the “low battery” warning immediately?
@@danstone4075 Hi! It's very strange... I installed the same battery to my friend... Without problems.
I’m glad they made this so easy.
lol yup
So, I finally got around to doing this. I had 2 Xvive systems where the receiver wouldn't last more than 10 minutes. So, I took the battery out of one transmitter and put it in the receiver. I was lucky as both sets had plugs for the batteries so no soldering.
Also, as far as removing the battery with that glue, a piece of fishing line behind it working back and forth worked like a charm (if you've ever debadged a car, you know what I'm talking about). I did remove the circuitboard to do this as there was enough blank board on the bottom to get it in a vice to hold it steady.
So, I made one more good set out of a 2 bad ones. In probably less than 20 minutes. I don't know how long it will last, but I'll be sure to report back.
Also, both receiver batteries that were dead were puffy.. not a good sign.
I had also tried draining them multiple times, freezing them, etc.. nothing worked. I am confident if I can find replacement batteries I could do it again in a few minutes.
Thanks for the video!
your welcome and check places like wish and banggood for the batteries you need to take the measurements of your stock ones to match them up but you can do it
@@KevinMillard68 And I need to find one with plugs (if possible) with the right polarity.
Thanks Kevin. As a diy-er you've probably considered cracking into you a cell phone to make a repair....There is a whole world of repair kits with pry tools are made of varying hardnesses of plastic, including guitar picks that are great for opening cases and protecting cases + delicate electronics inside. At 9:13 you even mention hard plastic object... Try a PICK!! Also at 9:15 that glue a heat activated goop. If you have a sample / old wrecked transmitter you might try a heat gun on it and post the results in a Part II to this vid.
i do all my own stuff on cell phone and ipads and have the tools for it as well same as the imacs to i have been an apple tech sence 1990
Thank you so much. Couldn't have done it without your help. Was fiddly, but got there in the end and all works.
Glad it helped
Thanks! I was able to disassemble enough to see where my wire came loose. Soldered it back up and it works fine now. Thanks again!

Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
Hello! Kudos to the super tutorial! I've these since Xmas 2019 and were working fine up to yesterday. Since then the units fire up but the blue LED flickers when they are apart not more than 40 centimeters. Furthermore if i place them in between my knees (really a small obstacle ;-)) , the blue LED goes out. They've been fully charged and i've tried all four channels with the same result . Also turned off the home router with the same result. Really appreciate the community to help me out before i start something invasive 😊
likey the batteries need to be replaced even a weak battery will take a full charge so it says but it really is not fully charged after 4 years it is time for new batteries for sure , how ever you can try a test and go away from the home bring a mini amp with you if you have one other wise just the units and a guitar and plug the transmitter into the guitar and turn on both and see if it still happens when your not at home or near to many people .. my boss system is getting interfeared with at home right now we have fiquired its the new interenet system we have becuase this never happen untill then and one iam at our chuch or any where else they hold a solid connection, the last set of Xvives I had also would not hold a connection at home only at the church now we do have internet at church and other guitar gear and mic gear thats all wireless and none of that stuff interfears so its something to do with out current interent provider here at home which is totally different then our chuch internet , now that being said weak batteries can also do the same thing to you, so its one or the other so you need away from home and away from alot of people testing to be sure what it is if it does it at home and ever where else then it likey is the batterys,, there is also one othert possibility if you droped them one to many times that can also screw them up..
Thanks Kevin for the details. I'll need to source the batts. kindly share the battery model please?
Thanks for the video. I’ve just changed the batteries in my old u2s. Reassembly is fiddly but everything now works fine. I used 700mah batteries which are slightly longer than the factory 25x25mm 650mah and they went in with no problems. If anyone else tries this be aware a crushed or punctured battery may start a fire so be careful.
your welcome and congrats
based on this BAD advice i went ahead and ordered 2 700 mah batteries. they're too big and by a LOT! thanks PETER!
@@peekayboo7183 now there's a dumb ass reply. he said they'd fit! they didn't! and yes, that's his fault!
Hi were did you get your 700ma battery from I can’t find any on the internet
@@theID2 You do realize the 700 mAh is a measure of battery capacity and has nothing to do with the physical dimensions, right? You'll find 700 mAh batteries in a variety of package sizes to fit different applications. You have to check the dimensions.
I just changed the battery in my XVive U2 transmitter. It was no problem at all. I could only find the battery in China, so the shipping took a little longer, so I bought 5 of these batteries for $14.99. I bought 3.7V 700mAh 802535 Li Polymer Rechargeable Batteries and they fit and work perfectly. I simply cut the wires close to the old battery and soldered the new battery wires to the old wires and plugged it in. I figured I can store the other 4 batteries and be prepared the next time I need one. I did learn that you shouldn't run Lipo batteries completely dead, but charge them while they still have juice left over. Just do a gig, and charge them up again. Don't run them until they are dead, or you'll shorten the life of the batteries. Just my 2 cents. I never have any issues with the Xvive U2 wireless unit performance, just a dead battery of my own doing.
i run the sinlge cell lipos dead ones a month and i get longer live that way you just dont leave them dead for long so once they are dead i leave them 1 hour then charge them even lipo batteries can hold a memory and the only way to clear them is to run them till they are dead once in awhile i do the same with my phone as well
Thank you. Mine are used and I had opened them up once before to do some cleaning and lubrication of the switches, but now I fear the battery in the transmitter is going. I had forgotten how fiddly they are.
your welcome
thank you for this video. I changed both of mine today, so far so good. I used 800 mah just the simillar dimantion ( I live in Taiwan, very easy to find these batteries )
Glad it helped
I installed the 3.7V 700mAh 802535 Li Polymer Rechargeable Batteries in both units now. The receiver battery began to act up, just like the transmitter battery had done before. Charged up they would go into "low battery blink mode" and die within an hour or two. With both new batteries installed, I charged up the units, then turned them on and let them stay on... for like 8 hours and they never went into "low battery blink mode". 8 hours! So, perhaps when you look for new batteries, and you will have to at some time, find the 802535 3.7V 700mAh if you can. I keep them at storage voltage, controlled temperature, so I should be good for a year or two of storage. I don't know if they would hold up for 8 hours while playing, but 8 hours is a long time even just turned on and hanging out in my music room. I don't know how long they would have actually stayed on, if I left them alone for a longer time. I had to go to bed!
you have to fully change them and store them that way when not in use, there is no way toput them into a storage mode once installed into the units , you got 8 hours of no use run time thats different then auctal run time doing their job but i would make a test to see what the playing run time is for sure
@@KevinMillard68 I'm not talking about storage of the batteries in the units, I'm referring to the extra batteries I purchased. And yes, I know how to charge and store Lipo batteries. I'm fully aware that there could be a difference between the units simply turned on, and how they might perform while playing, but I don't think I'll be playing my guitar for hours and hours just to see how long they last. LOL It was just an observation, since the normal batteries would have died out before 8 hours, simply sitting there turned on. I won't be doing a play test for hours and hours, and I don't think anyone else will either, unless you fancy doing it yourself... Pick up some 700mAh batteries and let me know how it goes! For me, the 4 - 5 hours I normally perform, including sound check, brief rehearsal, playing, break time and playing again, I'm pretty sure I can simply leave the units on for the entire process and not run into a low battery situation. I used to turn them off after sound check, rehearsal, then turn them on for the first set, off again until the second set. Problem arises when I forgot to turn them back on a time or two. Kinda frustrating to start the set and notice my guitar was silent! Bend down, turn on the receiver, turn on the transmitter and I was good to go, all though a little embarrassed. LOL
Hey man, my unit falls on the floor, and the red LED stop working, I was wondering if it was the battery, so I open the unit and for my surprise It was only the LED, when I was closing the unit the power button switch broken, I managed to put two wires in an on off button switch and it worked, anyway thanks a lot, your video helped me a lot!
your welcome good to hear you got things going
Great video Kev...you explained the procedure really well. 😀👌👍👊
thanks i do my best
Thanks. I had a transmitter that was intermittent, as I disassembled it I saw the black wire was not soldered to the plug's collar. Soldered it back on an all is well.
good stuff
The ground wire is there to help prevent noise, it's there for a reason, if you must try changing the battery , reconnect the ground wire .
i dont get any noise from mine so guess thats a matter of opinion on the ground wire, if there is noise its the pups in the guitar or some other problem but not the wireless unit
nice work bud.Sorry to hear about the broken one bud.. Thanks for sharing.. :)
thanks man its ok stuff happens i have a spare set so iam ok
Proud of Ya on this and thanks for sharing, but I will just buy a new set after 3 years.
cool try out the boss systems they are freaking outstanding
Hi Kevin, thanks to your video I changed the batteries of my XVive U2 system. The problem I had was that, from time to time, on the receiver, the blue button would flash and vibrate the sound, a bit like a tremolo. I thought it would go away by changing the batteries, but the problem is still there. Do you have any idea where this would come from? If anyone has had this problem and resolved it, please let me know how to do it. Thanks again for this video.
no idea whats causing that problem never heard of that happening my self id contact Xvive on that one they might be able to help
@@KevinMillard68 Hello, thank you for your response. I'm going to contact Xvive, I hadn't thought of that!
got it all apart per your vid -thanks much. but after I pried off the batter from the circuit board I was able to unplug the white connector -the newer units must not be a solder connector. Now I'm off to order my replacement batter -fingers crossed ;-}
Excellent!
Thanks for the tutorial man! Ive already changed the battery of my unit :)
Glad it helped
Hi, Kevys RC & Music,,, very good video that is helpfull and well demonstrated.A piece of advice though...........I have been an electronics engineer for many years.It is NOT recommended to remove what you referred to as a "Ground tap wire".
You were most likely correct in your 2nd description of "Ground shield".
Many GHz transmission and reception circuits require protection from themselves and other external sources.
That shield is "most likely" there to shield OTHER circuits in this device from the transmission/reception of the GHz frequencies,,, or to protect certain circuits from ambient frequencies coming from external sources.
I would replace that piece back into the unit and for those that watch this video, I recommend you not remove it.Again,,, nice job on your video.
👍
It's cheaper to buy a new unit, Thanks nice video !
its cheaper if you mess up if you dont then you save if you get them to do it its also cheaper then getting a new set
That ground tab eliminates an inherent buzz. I plugged into my Bass amp with and without it and it made all the difference having the tab.
well stuff happens
THANKS, I learned how to open it. My U2 just went mute and just has a very low digital buzzzzz and the signal is very thin, low. Wonder what there is.... it does not work anymore. You can mend a cable!
the wires inside can be repaired if thats the problem your having other then battery
Excellent video , great job !!
thanks
Would a piece of fishing line work to get out the battery... sort of like removing badges from a car? Hold it on each end and go behind battery and sort of saw down with the fishing line.
give it a go and see is all i can tell you it just might work but be carefull either way
Battery reference is 802530 3.7 Volt. 500mAH

yes it will work on all acoustic preamp pickups as a far as i know so far i have had not issues with takamine or fishmans even someof the no name sytems have been fine only problems so far are active pups on full electric guitars and bass guitars with active pups all passive pups have been great
@@KevinMillard68 I found out this unit will not work with an active microphone pickup like the LR Baggs Lyric - it sets up a squeal that you can't get rid of. I contacted Xvive and they confirmed this.

Thanks for the video. I was hesitant to buy these before knowing the batter can be replaced. One question. Why not find some mini connectors for the battery wires (such as a screw down terminal block)? Unless there's no room for this, it seems like this would save on the solder work for future battery changes. Thanks!
not enough room inside
Xvive won't tell you anything about size batteries the u2 takes, they told me they're not supposed to be replaced because of the danger.. my u2 has 3.7v 650 mah with a plug to plug in. Can't find the correct one
check aliexpress and banggood under rc batteries,and when i was with them they told me batterys can be reoplaced under warranty or they have a place for off warranty as well how ever this it seems has changed from what your telling me but you can get thrd party batterys from chinese websites and do it your self
Thank you for posting this. I just received a different brand but they have the same profile as yours. I wouldn’t be surprised if all these things are made in the same factory. They are defective but are sending a new set and told me to keep the old. It charges and pairs fine but there are random fluctuations with the sound. My only hope is to take them apart and see if there is an obvious abnormality. Could that third wire be an antenna? I was hoping there might be a trim pot on the board, but I guess not.
it could be yes
I changed the batteries in my Xvive with 700ma batteries. Note that the JST connectors on almost all the batteries you can buy have a connector that's too big to fit into the Xvive's JST slot. (Xvive wouldn't sell me replacement batteries). After putting in the new batteries splicing them to smaller JST connectors, the units work, but the red "on" indicator light does not come on when the receiver is turned on. It comes on if the receiver is charging (so the light itself isn't broken), but it doesn't turn on when the unit is on. The red light works fine on the transmitter. Any idea what could be causing this problem or how to fix it?
even the stock units worked the same way with the lights for me and i have had 3 or 4 sets of these so your good to go
@@KevinMillard68 Thanks for the reply. Before I changed the batteries, the red light would be on when the receiver was on. The blue light is on when it's linked to the transmitter. If I turn the transmitter off, there are no lights illuminated on the receiver, so you can't tell it's on. So if you forget to shut it off you wouldn't know it was still on without the red light on. Mine wasn't like that before (if I forgot to turn it off, the red light on the receiver would be lit to remind me). There'll also be no flashing low battery warning light if the red light isn't on. Is that how all your Xvives work? You have no indication the receiver is on when it's not linked to the transmitter?
@@KevinMillard68 Just noticed at 14:45 in your video you say that the (red) light on the transmitter won't come back on. This happened on the receiver only for me (the transmitter red light still turns on). Why would changing the battery disable the red light from turning on when the unit is on? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.
Good! How to replace the batteries with XVIVE U3 please!
take them apart get the batteries out order new ones same size from aliexpress or ebay or banggood etc, unsoder the old ones and solder in the new ones
Thanks for the video.
I changed my battery as you showed, all is ok it works but the red led is always blinking, even if the new battery is fully charged. do you have a tip for this? thanks
no idea whats going on there might email or call xvive on that one they would know whats going on
I put my unit to charge and after a few minutes it didn’t turn on or off, what should I do?
charge them fully the leds go out when they are charged but make sure the power switches are off when charging
Hey just want your opinion on this,the transmitter won’t hold any charge and keeps flashing red when it’s in the off position connected to the charger.it still works connected to the charger though.Just wondering if it’s a battery problem maybe,but it’s a couple years old so definitely out of warranty so just thinking maybe take it to the local guitar shop and see if they’d be able to change it if that’s the problem
likely you just need a new batterie get both units done same time
Hi Kevy, you're a brave man undertaking that :-) Thanks so much for the informative "how to" guide, very useful. I've got a unit that is "going off the boil", batterywise, and I'm keen to swap out my batteries too. With a little googling I've found a replacement but I'm not sure of the battery form factor. Could you please measure your battery for me.
Also, the ground plane should probably be left intact as my guess is that it is there to reduce radio frequency interference. I think you'll find that a clever little engineer spent a bit of time designing that and would be horrified to hear you say it is serving no purpose and throwing it out :-)
Thirdly, clearly your "broken" unit still operates. Have you considered 3d printing the broken part? I've had good success with this, although I'm an electronics engineer and have all the CAD software I need to achieve a result, it costs nothing in the grand scheme of things to have a tiny part made :-)
Cheers for being brave enough to dive right in.
thanks and i think i still have the battery ill check and ill do a video on just the replacment battery size for these units,, so stay tunned to the channel ill get it uploaded very soon for you
Hi Kevy. I'm good to go now with the battery order as my unit is down to about 1.5 hours battery life now. if you could just rat around for that old battery and just post the measurements here, don't worry about the video, just the numbers will be fine. I'd really appreciate it. If you can't find the battery just let me know and I'll dive right into my one and find out myself. I was just hoping I could order the batt before pulling the unit apart for the repair to save down time. Cheers :-)

Great video. How long can I expect the lithium batteries to last before they no longer fully charge up?
no one can give you that answer it all depends how much you use them how often you recharge them and so on
@@KevinMillard68 Thanks for the courtesy of a reply. That explains why I have seen some that say won't take a charge after 1 year and others say 2 and three years. So the answer is pretty much depends how much you use them.

My transmitter will no longer charge, not sure if it's a problem with the battery or connector?

Hey man GREAT video! I've encountered a problem when I use the system after a charge they connect but theres no sound. If i plug them back in to charge and turn them on whilst charging for a bit then unplug the charger the units work. Do you think this is to do with the batteries? Or do you have any ideas. Much appreciated!
could be a battery problem yes are your units still under warranty ?
I have a similar problem on one of my sets. LEDs light and units pair. But no audio. Or more correctly very weak & noisy audio. Since I have multiple sets, I tested with transmitter from 2nd set and it worked fine. Thus in my case it’s only the transmitter unit failing and that doesn’t work with a known good receiver. Could be battery or something in the circuit. I’ll probably try to replace the battery. Did you ever try to fix yours?
im guessing you could upgrade it to a bigger capacity battery with the size similar or smaller to the default battery. can i ask the dimensions of the battery
you will have to take it apart and measure it your self as batterys are not always 100% the same measurments and i cant help you any how i no longer have these anymroe sence i upgrade to the boss wireless
sorry, but this video has too much comments. can you put the battery type or even a link to which battery type should we buy to make the repair? at the video description i say... (sorry for any english mistakes, not my language haha) i'm afraid to buy one and doesn't make a fit to the units... great video by the way!
i would love to do that but i think it only fair that people can just take there stuff apart their self which they will; be doing anyhow then take the measurements of it then search all the Chinese places like banggood aliexpress and so on i cant not justify giving all the answers to people

Hi. I have this wireless unit and today I went to use it and the sound is very faint. They are fully charged and LEDs are fully lit but I do not know what happened. I have also cycled through all the channels. Is it possible my pedalboard has fried the receiver? Thanks

Where can i purchase a battery for my X Vive U2 Wireless Transmitter
direct from xvive for a stock battery or you can check amazon or wish or perhaps aliexpress
I bought the 700 mHz Chinese Guitar Wireless System. After a year, & just in the last day or two, they started to go flakey. Dropping signal, sometimes the power LED indicates as lit up that it has adequate power. Not sure whether it's the TX or RX unit though, although. Could be a bad battery or the actual PCB circuitry ? With those, it's just cheaper to have a spare handy or just buy another & recycle them.
batterys do go bad
@@KevinMillard68 Just dismantled the RX unit. Since the TX seems to be signalling the RX and it intermittently functions properly, then it cuts out is the reason why I chose to dismantle the RX unit. Anyway, the battery markings are indicated, the + & - leads are marked, PN I is ZY 702535 and specs are 3.7V 600 mAh & last is the 2019/04/24 date stamp. DC voltage read is 4.05V after a full charge. I'm certain the RX unit is defective rather than a bad battery with that reading.
During operation, it seems to drift thru the channels for reception trying to lock on to the TX signal. Regardless of the systems 4 channels it makes no difference what channel I select on the TX or RX units, it's still the same intermittent play & cut out. It was fun to take it apart and see the guts. I first thought it may have been broadcast interference, but I haven't introduced anything operating in the frequency range that would disrupt or even outright take that frequency like a 2.4/5 Ghz computer router and wifi would. No microwave interference either, since the 700-730 Mhz frequency is what operates in that range.
The units were always a little hissy & loud regardless of where I played. I was hoping there was a tuner/trim adjustment inside that might eliminate that noise, similar to a AM/FM radio tuner trying to lock onto a bandwidth frequency with a weaker & more distant transmitter & radio signal. I need to remove the PCB to see if that's the case for adjusting the unit ? If there is adjusting screw, I can use a pedal amp to tweak that. I'll take photos and probably find a forum or put them on Facebook or Google Images so that someone else can assess whether a $ 20 Chinese wireless is even worth piddling with. Not sure it's a matter of getting what you paid for with such a simple device on a wafer of a PCB. Hunting down new guts appears to be a waste of time as would a battery swap. A battery is anywhere from $ 2-7.50 on line, but then you have to consider S&H and the labor involved.
Anyway, back to learning more about these things.
Well, I did get the RX working again, it's a defective power switch and PCB mounting issue. Turning the power switch on & off has done something to the solder connection of the switch & PCB trace of the board itself where the switch is located . My permanent solution is to order & replace with a new RX unit. The temporary solution was to leave the RX unit in the "always" on position and charge it constantly. It's not really gig-able & stage reliable for sure at this point in the repair process. The warranty on similar A8 GWS is 6 months, 30 day returns and this GWS is a year old at this point, so they know they don't last very long anyway, especially when they sell replacement units for either the TX or RX. The way I have it temporarily operating, it's just a matter of time before the TX has an issue with the on/off power switch just the same ? But I can switch around the other 3 channels (4 channels in total) with either the TX or RX, as it works on all channels properly beyond the RX turning on & off properly. Definitely order another complete set and use the bad unit & set for parts or recycle it as garbage. They do have good & strong batteries in that regard. The PCB is tiny, pretty complex for what looks like inexpensive SMT parts. I doubt I can solder much more than a battery & wires, so the parts are really beyond cherry picking as a donor GWS.
@@jimcamp2423 you can always solder the power swich back in place if its broken off the contacts either way if you have a soloution then great.. i did goto the boss units and never had a problem ,, boss rules when it comes to effects amps and now wireless systems,, these tho are great little units the boss ones are so much better i cant complain to much on these ones tho but the boss does allow for 14 auto search channels to make sure no problems with any other systems and no power switches to worry about and 2 times more run time then these ones and boss has an awesome warranty as well on there stuff to and the build quailty of the boss is also way better then any other systems i have owned or used as well
