just recently replaced the battery on my HS70 Pro and i gotta thank u for making this tutorial as quick and straightforward as it can be. took about 10 minutes and everything went smooth

[@CentralSound]

Glad it helped!

[@BB-jw6iu]

Great Vid, easy to follow. swapping polarity was a little tricky. At testing, ICUE software remained unable to recognize the battery. The Charging indicator remained Red and panic set in since this is what the old dead battery status was. checked all connections, went inside pc to verify everything. all ok. so to the forums i went. Someone indicated a hold down for 10secs on the power button clears the software. So sure enough, it worked and all is fine. Charging and working Great.

[@CentralSound]

Great to hear it’s working !

[@CowWarrior]

Thanks for the video! FYI: if the light blinks Red and Amber it means the battery is not connected properly. Once properly connected it is solid amber while charging.

[@CentralSound]

Thanks for weighing in!

[@drujo25]

My Headset blinks. Will the replacement done in this video fix that? Or is it a different issue?

[@zantm8152]

Warning (please upvote this comment): YOU CANNOT FOLLOW THIS METHOD FOR HS75 even though the website says you can. The battery housing is much more complex. Also the battery in the hs75 is soldered

[@Mrdirtysanchezstick]

You're doing gods work man. Saved me the hassle of thinking i should replace the headset entirely haha😅 this is what i get for leaving the headset to charge overnight excessively for multiple nights

Thank you for this video. I also went up to a 1500mAH battery. I didn't have the exact tools you have, but I used my plastic car trim tool which worked just as well. edit: My old battery was so swollen. I disposed of it properly. ;)

@@CentralSound I am not afraid of modding headsets. I had a set of Sennheiser PC350s that I drilled holes in and stuffed with cotton to improve sound. Modding my headset to make the 1500mAH fit was easy and a no brainer.

It was very helpful for me. I've just changed my HS70 Pro battery. Battery was very sticky to the body, I needed to use plastic trim remover. I inserted the trim remover from side of the battery from right side and twisted the trim remover and battery came up easily. If you use screw driver it can damage battery.

[@CentralSound]

Hello, yes that battery can be punctured if not careful removing.

Do I have to keep them off while they fully charge for the first time after replacing the battery or can I use them while charging? Great tutorial!

[@CentralSound]

You can use them if you want to. It’s best though to let it charge completely.

[@panther2311]

Battery life on my HS70 pro is currently about 4-5 minutes (do I win anything for lowest battery life? :P ) and as its well over 2 years old now Corsair support just advised me to buy a new headset so I'm really glad I found this easy to follow guide. Just ordered a 1000mah battery and am looking forward to being to relax with it unplugged again.

[@CentralSound]

Glad we can help you relax while playing. Our battery is a 1500mAh upgrade, even more time between charges. 💯👍

[@luckgrip252]

Battery life on my HS70 is non-existent. A little over a week ago it was 30min, but each day the charge dropped by 10min, currently the blown battery serves as a buffer because without it the headset only plays for 5seconds and abruptly shuts down and doesn't turn back on until you disconnect and reconnect the USB

[@CentralSound]

Buy one from us 😉😆

[@debate420]

Awesome. Upgraded thanks for the video saved me 200$

[@CentralSound]

Great to hear!

[@CircuitDaemon]

Thanks for the video, replacing it was very easy. I do notice something weird though, while the duration overall is definitely longer, the iCUE and other third party apps always report the battery level at 86% or so every time I unplug them after charging. My guess is that it has something to do with the firmware being programmed for the original battery size, is there anything else to do here other than the physical replacement?

[@CentralSound]

Hello, thanks for your question. If the battery life is longer and everything is working as it should then let it be. Honestly, we couldn’t tell you 100% why the 86% is showing on 3rd party apps.

[@CentralSound]

[@shirosuzzi]

Do you know if the sound of fast popping in one earpiece while charging/wired is also part of the battery dying?

[@NothingOverHere1]

I'm a novice to this kind of stuff so I'm not sure if this is a basic question or not. Doesn't adhesive heat up and loosen if it's used on a battery? Isn't it better to use double sided tape? I know the OEM uses adhesive but I'm not really sure if there are any differences from what they used compared to Central sound

[@CentralSound]

Hello, you can use either one.

[@zipzap_1822]

just would like to make sure, the battery is located at the right side of the headset correct?

[@CentralSound]

Yes that is correct 👍

Good video, but my HS70s did not have the clasp....the wires were soldered directly to the board, and this did not work as demonstrated. Must be a newer (or older) version.

[@las3589]

Thanks for the video. Bought the battery from your shop too 😉

[@CentralSound]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ScreamingSturmovik]

very useful would a 1800mah for a "hs70 pro" fit? and would double sided tape be good instead of adhesive?

[@luckgrip252]

From my measurements, as long as you're in the range of these dimensions: Length - 52mm; Width - 35mm; Height - 10mm Going off my research the 1800mAh batteries are slightly below that dimension range in every aspect. You should be good to go with that one. I myself am looking for a solution to replace my blown battery with... It's impressive that it has gone from stock 5mm thickness to 9mm (even then it fits pretty well and there's no pressure against the speaker + 1mm extra comes from the adhesive strip)

[@CentralSound]

Hello and thanks for your question. It depends on the size and type of battery. You should be ok with double sided type.

[@WOG-WrathOfTheGods]

I have a set of corsair hs70's and wanted to replace the battery because mine was completely finished , bought a new battery followed all your steps only to be met with the fact that the battery in my model is soldered directly to the board :/ this swap-out is gonna be a lot more involved than i expected

[@godoglove115]

Is it a bad idea to heat up the adhesive under the battery so that it is easier to removed and possibly keep some adhesive on the case? also is there a possible way to make the charging usb-c without major problems?

[@CentralSound]

You could most likely apply some heat at a very mild temperature to loosen it, I would not recommend it though.

[@bikester4295]

I have an 1800 mAh battery and I’m struggling to fit the connector into the battery. Does this battery have a connector that’s too large? I have the hs70 headset. I’m also wondering if you can only use plastic pry tools to separate the wire holders? Thanks.

[@CentralSound]

Hello, thanks for reaching out. The connector on the battery might not be compatible, they’re not all the same. It’s important to get the right battery with the right connector, if not you can damage your headset.

[@Kkorkykatt]

Excellent vid, tyvm, i have one question though (excuse me if it seems obvious) my battery ,like yours says 60-34-50, yet your replacement battery says 50-40-50. oes this make any difference? I seem to recall that those numbers have to do with the battery's size if i understood correctly & since your replacement battery fits just fine, then i need pay no mind to those numbers-am i correct?

[@CentralSound]

Hello , that's a very good question and observation. On some batteries (like ours in this video) you are correct. On the OEM battery on this video it is not relevant because those numbers are not referring to the size on the OEM battery.

I just did mine. Clipped the plug off the new bat, carefully soldered them in place. I have a slight feedback hum though. Only notice it when nothing is playing.

Yeah, the HS70 normal (non-pro) version is like that. I have both at home (pro is mine and "normal" one is my husband's) and opened them to try to exchange the batteries cause my pro battery has been dead for months and my husband has another headset and is not using his "normal" anymore. Nasty surprise. Even the battery capacity and tension are the same, it's ridiculous that the said pro version does not carry any improvement on that... it's barely better just for its ease in swapping batteries. Oh and my pro original battery is swollen like it's about to pop 4 babies out of it (of course it's not going back in my headset). And it came directly from Corsair RMA to replace my HS70 normal. Total bummer.

​​​​@@jodawgsup You have to clip the plug from the new battery, and the wire from the old one and solder the leftover wires and the new battery wires together.
