Elvie disassembly battery access dead battery revitalize procedure

- Elvie disassembly to get at the battery or fixing internals. You will need a T9 and a common screw drivers for disassembly. Cellphone disassembly tools work better by not marring the plastic shell. Go very slow when removing the retaining plastic ring only allowing enough give to slide it out. Once it is broke it is broke, no replacements unless within warranty. Putting it back together is in reverse and everything should snap back in place. Parallel charging to revitalize the battery brings up the voltage so that it is recognising that there is a battery to charge. You can look up "parallel charging" for more technical information. I used speaker wire and using enough strands to fit the plug and touch the positive wire to the positive side of battery and negative wire to negative side of battery for a few seconds. Any 3.7v battery will do. Then test to see if the Elvie charges. I have another video that bypasses the disassembly and goes straight to the parallel charging via mini USB attached to a 3.7v battery. Hope this helps. Comment if this helped you out.
This is for entertainment purposes only.
The raw video with your struggles in opening this is actually quite helpful! I can see what to anticipate.
another comment or said to use guitar picks or plastic pry tools I had none at the time.
Thank you so much just recovered the pump and I'm so happy it's charging
It’s videos like this that help fight planned obsolescence!!! 🙌🙌✨
Check out my battery replacement video.
You are a genius!! Worked the first time on both my wife’s Elvie pumps. Like some other folks said, I would suggest getting the Kaisi Electronics pry bar kit and starting with the opposing side on the plastic ring to minimize damage.
This worked brilliantly. I stripped an old USB cable (which worked great because the conductor is super thin and fits the pins on the battery connector easily) to get the 2x wires for positive/negative, and 'jumped' it via an AA battery. Waited a few seconds and then the unit charged as normal. Good man!
Thanks for posting this! I just revived one of our dead Elvie batteries using this method. I first tried the micro USB cable method to avoid disassembly, but the cable I used was of such low quality I couldn't get the wires stripped well enough.
I ended up taking the Elvie apart (surprisingly easy) and connecting to a 9V battery with a snap connector I had on hand. The snap connector has really sturdy pigtail ends that slipped easily into the JST connector of the battery. I disconnected after about 30 seconds, reconnected the battery to the Elvie, connected micro USB from Elvie to computer and the LED lit up indicating charging!
Wife and I are very happy we've resurrected this for our second child, and I'm happy I didn't have to mess around with a new battery and that 3-wire JST connector.
This saved me! Thank you!
YOU SIR ARE A GENIUS ! i bought 2 Elvie pumps for my wife and one of them was dead . i used the battery from the working one and revitalized the dead one and it worked . THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!
Saved my wife's second hand Elvie pump. Thanks for posting this video!
IT WORKED!!! I want to shout this from the rooftops! My children were born 2 years apart, so naturally just enough time for the warranty to lapse. Unfortunately the revitalization process in your other video didn’t work for us but I was able to reuse all of the supplies on this try. As others have mentioned, it’s definitely better to remove the hub clip from the thicker side first and not the one by the button as this helps prevent it from breaking. Secondly, the cell phone kit (Amazon: Kaisi Electronics) blue tool worked wonders to easily open the pump housing without marring it. I was able to use one of the battery trays I purchased for the revitalization process and use the pigtails direct from that to connect with the battery positive and negative ends here. Worked great and didn’t need to strip any cords. Thank you so much for posting this!
Thank you! My wife found this video in getting ready for baby 2 and our Elvie wouldn’t charge. Just did this and it’s currently charging. This is why I love CZcams.
Thank you so much for posting this. My wife's pump died in storage and this got it working again. The non-disassembly method didn't work but this did first time. All elvie would offer is a 15 percent voucher in spite of the pump being easily serviceable!
It worked!! I ended up using a 1.5V D battery instead. Just left it on longer than 30secs. Thanks for uploading this video. You just helped me save some money by not having to buy a new one. 👊🏼✌🏼🤙🏼
Thanks for sharing. Evie told us it was not repairable. We now have a working double pump rather than £450 pile of scrap.
OMG, it worked. You are a genius. Saved us $500 from buying a new Elvie.
2023 and it works 💁🏻♂️. Thanks so much
The battery trick worked really well, the plastic ring comes out a lot easier if you pry it out from the bottom side opposite the button
Thank you! Was able to fix my Elvie following your directions. I tried a 1.5v C Battery for like 20 minutes and it wasn't working but when I switched to a 9v it was charged to the point that it was fixed in about 15 seconds.
Wow thank you for the video. Worked perfectly. Bought a 3.7v battery. I didn’t want to use a 9v just incase it done any damage. 😊
Thank you so much for posting this! It worked on my pump when microcharging and trying different charging cables and plugs failed.
This worked perfectly. I would advise using plastic pry bars like those used to disassemble cell phones and tablets, rather than prying the case open with a screwdriver this will prevent breaking or gouging the case.
For the archives, I had a slightly different issue with a dead Elvie. Something else to check:
The ribbon cable connector to the button circuit board (adjacent to the battery connector plug) had corrosion. I removed the ribbon cable at the button circuit board, sprayed with electrical cleaner, reinstalled and it came back to life.
You can see the connector in question at about 4:15 in this video.
This did the trick and save us a fortune thank you so much for sharing
You are a bloody Genius..!! 🙏🏼
absolutely fantastic ! just wanted to let you know that it worked also for me, I used a 9V battery
Worked for me too. I also used 9V battery for 1 min, plugged it in after and kept on charging! Before doing this, the amber light would kick in for 15 secs or so then turn off.
Thanks for the video!
I recommend an electronics spudger instead of the flat head screw driver.
I used a DC variable voltage power supply set to constant voltage and connected it Instead of the battery. Needed to bring the voltage slowly up to about 3.5 before current started flow and whatever protection circuit is inside the battery was reset.
If I’ve been to Tenerife you’ve been to Elevenerife 🤔
your step at 16s, do it the other way around, do not try to push in the press button (5-6mm thick), do the two opposite tabs (2mm), that represent much less stress on that plastic part!
Thanks!!
Gracias!!! Funcionó !!!
En México Conseguí la batería en mercadolibre ya que en Amazon MX no las tenían disponibles.
Al primer intento no resultó, dejé la pila conectada más tiempo a la batería paralela como unos 2 min y al probar con el cable encendió el led de carga!
Gracias por compartir!
Gracias!!
Hola … tendrás el link de la
Bateria ? Me interesa comprar una … Gracias
Thank you for posting this!!!
This worked for us!!! Thank you for this video
Worked like a charm
Dude this worked like a charm!! Thank you!!
You are a Genius..!! 🙏🏼
This worked!!! Thank you so much !
Thank you so much! I followed the process and was able to turn on the elvie pumps briefly. They pumped for a few minutes but the light remain red and the battery quickly drained. When i try to charge them the normal way they still wouldn't take charge. Any insights why it worked a bit and then still wouldn't charge?
Didn't work for me, but the video was helpful none the less. Thank you! We have two that both stopped working after going on a flight. I suspect these pumps have a mechanical or electrical design flaw.
Check out my other video where I installed a lithium ion battery I bought on Amazon. That worked for me so it may work for you.
Thank you for this really helpful video!
It worked thank you
First step. To remove the button plastic, it was easier from the other side (not the button side)
I figured that out later. There were no tutorials I could find on this prior to posting.
Con cual batería lo hizo? Cualquiera xa dar carga?
I see you’re using a rechargeable battery, would a regular duracell battery work just the same?
Thanks!!!
Thank you for this! Can you please explain what kind of wire was used?
Speaker wire, I got some from Walmart in the electronic section
Thanks for the demo on disassembly. My issue is the hub not turning on, even when fully charged. I had backflow of milk and and found dried milk inside the hub (yack). Apparently not a valid warranty claim. Any ideas on what I can try next please? Theres no obvious issue with connection from the on switch
Did you find a solution? got the same problem here.
is that a standard 1.5V AA battery (like energiser) you are using to parallel charge the internal elvie battery?
@@litoteh but in your other video where you didn’t open the Elvie you said you used a 1.5V battery. Is that also a lipo? Sorry I’m not familiar, but got a non-charging elvie and want to try this. Thank you for posting these videos.
Did you watch the video from beginning to end? I did mentioned the battery type I used and I corrected myself on the battery voltage @ 2:02 in that video. Any 3.7v battery will do. I do not know the consequences of using a 1.5v or higher voltage to parallel charge. You may be okay with 1.5v but not sure with a 9v battery. Good luck. Battery I used is a NiMh rechargeable battery. Search "battery revive" or parallel charging for more info.
@@litoteh ohhh sorry. I missed that part. Thank you I will get one tomorrow. I hope it works!
Our green light stays on... what to do? none of the buttons worked. plugged in/out from PC etc didnt work
Anyone know what capacity the battery is?
On the first step when taking that ring out go the opposite way it's way easier
I tried this on my elvie and even replaced the battery. Called the company and said it was a ghost hub because it doesn’t turn on but it makes a suction noise when I plug it in to charge it. The light turns on for a few seconds then goes off again. The company won’t replace it because I lost my receipt 🤦🏻♀️ got any ideas on how I can fix it?
Well it worked for both of my pumps but sadly I broke one of the plastic circle pieces :( I couldn’t find any on eBay... any other way of fixing or replacing it?
If your pump is within warranty, elvie will send replacement. You can tape the reservoir to the elvie when pumping.
@@litoteh it’s not within warranty but luckily they said they would send me a new one anyways. Awesome customer service. Thanks so much for this video! :)
Does this work if it’s water damage?
Water damage shorts out the circuitry, after the device is non-functional. But you can try or add another battery.
@@litoteh it is currently turning on but when I press the play button to start pumping it won’t pump. Is there anything I can do? I don’t think I need a battery because it’s coming on. Please let me know. Thanks
@@louveinaw maybe replace the valve! if any part is torn or there isn't enough suction/pressure it won't pump.
@@louveinaw did you find a solution
my Elvie won't go from orange to green! Help.
Battery is probably dead, try out the battery replacement video I posted recently.
@@litoteh thanks for your reply, it had charged for over 2 hrs and still didn't go green
Sacrifice an old USB cable instead of tearing it apart.
Coastal mall??
Wala diri. . .
