How To Access Google Nest Thermostat 3rd Gen Lithium Ion Battery TL284443

[@_mazf_productions3147]

Why make the video of you're not going to replace the battery lol Killin me smalls

[@hkn2718]

To show people like you how to access/replace the battery

[@jorjegerges6966]

But you didn’t 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@celticgodsoriginal]

What a waste

[@noah_will]

I know right, I was waiting for him to show how to remove the battery. Then he says that and I’m like ”fuck”!

[@urbanturbine]

Jeez you just pull the pins and replace it. If you can't do that without mommy holding hands than maybe just don't even touch it. No one owes you anything.

[@Karm007]

Change the title to how to almost replace the battery 😂

[@ryanmoore7927]

😂😂 I still gave it a like 😁

[@gasdrink]

Give him some credit. This is the only video that visually demonstrates the disassembly procedures with accurate instructions. I too wish he also showed the actual replacement procedure though. Anyway, I was able to successfully replace mine thanks to your video and some other KZbin videos, and now the low battery warning is finally gone!

[@nita1stunna1]

Yes and I have been looking all over the internet

[@metro7films]

My thermostat fell off the wall and was slightly dented. I didn't know how to remove the white plastic circular panel at the back in order to remove the dent...until I saw your video!! Thank you sir!!!

[@tomgerwatowski2311]

The funny part is i never had to change the battery on my old thermostat in 20 years!

[@tgrobelny23]

I ended up wiring my Nest for constant power. You don’t need the battery unless you lose power in which case your heats not going to work anyway so you’re just losing the temp reading. If you have an extra t-stat wire in the wall or can snake a new one just tap into 24V DC power off the transformer. They also sell kits for a C-wire, but I didn’t have an outlet nearby and wanted a clean look/setup, plus the rewire was free for me to do.

[@anthonysandoval965]

I would be intrested in seeing this. Can you make a tutorial video sir?

[@Metal27928]

I just did this myself. At about the 5:20 mark you can see a little black and white flimsy tab to the left of the battery. Pull on that slowly and it will remove most of the sticky keeping the battery on the board. The plug snaps down. It does not slide in. So just pry it out up. Stick the new battery down and push the plug down into it.

[@EitaFox]

true hero here, I’ve just followed your instructions and it worked, so thanks for sharing

[@luistorres-qf6ku]

Thank you just changed the battery on my nest 3gen although the video didn’t show exactly how to replace the battery it was still very helpful. I took my time and read a lot of the comments and was able to get it done in less than 15min. Just want to say thanks for the video and thanks everyone else for their input it was super helpful.

[@dougnbodie]

Nest is famous for this and other issues on their thermostats.....and if you bought your Nest over 2 year ago, then you are Shyte out of luck as they will not replace any unit over 2 years old. My Nest just turned 4 years old by about 2 days and the new OEM battery I bought still will not fix the internet issue. So I have a $250 non programable and non internet thermostat. Even the cheapest thermostats last at least 10 years and NEST refuses to warranty these units for any respectable period. NEVER AGAIN!!!

[@lionelschotter4914]

The key with the battery is that it clips in and doesn't slide in - i.e. You have to lift it up to remove and you have to press down to plug it in

[@fordyford6725]

Hi, how on earth did you manage to disconnect the battery?

[@DEADIKATED]

I can't get it to stay. Is there a way you can glue it i? Crazy Glue?

[@elpilonvideo]

Double tape it

[@WEI-tf3nw]

Hi guys! We don’t have to change the battery, we can recharge it. I was lucky to watch another video before I am going to buy a new battery.

[@elpilonvideo]

How? 🙃

[@SoundOfYourDestiny]

No; eventually the battery is worn out and you can't recharge it. But the no-name replacements are a fire risk. Just trash this shit product and buy a $30 thermostat that you can program. The Nest sucks.

[@Neopulse00]

This was helpful regardless you swapped it out or not. That ribbon cable is what I feared damaging and this video shows it well. Thank you!

[@JG-kb6pz]

Helped me go all the way

[@deejiii4567]

I tried this and end up calling Nest for replacement. NOW MY DEVICE CANNOT BE REPLACED SINCE NEST IS NOT ADVISING TO DO THIS STEP> YOU CAN ONLY TRY TO DO IT IF YOUR DEVICE IT OUT OF WARRANTY SINCE IT IS A CHEAPER OPTION THAN GETTING A NEW ONE. call to check if your device is still in warranty.

[@dwaynej4320]

No only if you have a bad battery. This one battery in this video 1.41Wh. but this other battery has a higher capacity 2.22Wh lasts longer during power outages. HQRP 600mAh Battery for Nest 3rd, 2rd Generation, Nest-E Thermostat KAR1-284449 600mAh at 3.7V= 2.22Wh

[@txxrxxx1221]

Looks like a pain in the butt. I have a new HVAC install and wanted Nest for thermostat. But after watching this video I’ve decided to have an Ecobee installed instead.

[@TheGizmoGarage]

The battery shouldn't go bad if the charging voltage is constant, mine was not properly maintained and I bought it used.

[@Yoromo77]

Great explanation but how Doni actually take the battery out?

[@Ja-ti2eg]

I will appreciate it if just go to the point without unnecessary info. Thanks

[@andrewrowe8740]

Agree with other comments. You should take down this video since it doesn't show how to replace the battery itself. Deceptive title!

[@annabethmm]

What this video doesn’t show is how it’s almost impossible to load the new battery to the prongs. I broke the new battery by holding it with tweezers. It’s so tiny and delicate.

[@paulphelps2704]

This instructional video does not finish showing the viewer how to actually remove the battery itself which is tricky because it is taped in underneath.

[@benedictearlson9044]

It's very easy, just gently lever it up along the sides with something thin and wide, will take 10 seconds.

[@urbanturbine]

Excellent video. Dont worry about these self absorbed entitled idiots. Excellent video.

[@DC-nw3uc]

Ok so what if we need to actually replace the battery?

[@Matt_warren_photography]

Would this stop the heat link from working also? Mines got no power going to it and is completely dead... Plus how do you unclip the battery do you take that sticky pad off the connector? Gutted you didn't take the battery out I need that part 😂🤦

[@Nick-jz3ic]

Thanks for the info..

[@elpilonvideo]

Mine is 4 years old, not holding any charge . I have to wait for a whole day for the battery to get full charge after been off all summer

[@akaykha]

The video should have been called “How to get to the battery…”

[@TheGizmoGarage]

Thank you... Changing it now

[@DRCVideos]

Why can't you find a replacement mine is nor working

[@TheRealSkylineHD]

this was a long watch just to find out you got the wrong battery.

[@katefowle8432]

Li, I found this helpful until it came to replacing the battery, which I really need to do. I've bought a new one, and I have been having a problem. And I can't find anywhere else on the internet that shows the actual replacement. I believe that the battery is not only stuck down with double stick tape, but the little black box terminal at the end of the battery wires is also stuck down. I pulled on the wires and they came out of their terminal, but the box didn't come as well and I have no idea how to get it out so I can put in the new battery, which has its own terminal. Did you ever finally have to replace your battery? Wits end here... Thanks!

[@thisguy4341]

I just took my nest apart and the part was stuck down with double sided tape... Just gently and slowly pry underneath the battery itself and the battery will come off. Now the terminal block, it pulls straight up and out so get some tweezers and pull it out or even a small jewlers flat head and pry it out.

[@tgrobelny23]

Gently pry from under the 3 wires with a small flathead screwdriver and it will pop out.

[@btburbach]

@@tgrobelny23 This is the key. I've replaced the batter for 2 of them and one I had the same problem as Kate where the terminal did not popup but instead pulled a wire out. Second time was much more careful and was successful to pull the terminal off and yes its very hard to plug the new one in.

[@btburbach]

You should suggest to put it on a soft cloth so you don't scratch the front face. My friend inadvertently did this

[@TheGizmoGarage]

Good suggestion

[@nita1stunna1]

Omg thank you, you are a life saver 💗

[@shadricksimms]

I need the exact battery not a weaker battery that ill be changing again in a few months

[@TheGizmoGarage]

If your battery needs recharge, it means that your AC/Heater is not providing enough charge to power the Nest, the battery is only there to provide a short term boost/power in terms of short term power outtage.

[@artc8577]

​@@TheGizmoGarage Not necessarily. Mine won't even charge using a charging cable connected to the USB port.

[@DEADIKATED]

@@artc8577also it doesn't work period for me.

[@btburbach]

The Amazon replacement battery you list at the top is still the 1.41Wh rather than 2.1.

[@TheGizmoGarage]

Yeah, because they don't have an "Official" battery replacement, so only thing you can get is aftermarket one with smaller capacity

[@anthonysandoval965]

I was wondering the same thing and noticed the replacement battery for the Dre Beats is a bit smaller but it has a larger capacity can you please advise if I could actually use this battery in place of the oem battery thank you.

[@gafgaf1538]

Ok, don’t try to lift or pry or remove that little black part with 3 wires - it is attached to the panel. I just ripped mine of and I guess that’s it. Not sure if there’s even a possibility to change the battery at all.

[@rickwhite8694]

The little plug lifts up, from the wire end to disenguage, then pull to the right and out.

[@Icanttouchthis]

If I've blown my thermostat with 230V, what is likely to have gone in the thermostat? Would the battery be required for it to work or is it likely the PCB blown?

[@TheGizmoGarage]

Would be a instant fry... Don't bother with replacing battery... Just buy a new one to start. These boards run on very low voltage...

[@vayechijimenez8730]

There is a charger plug there. Has anyone tried that to charge nest? I got new nest and just browsing now.

[@danielcarroll3358]

Yes. As said, it is a micro USB connector. You can charge with any charger that has a type "A" USB connector. That is the standard connector you find on computers. You can charge it with a computer if that is all you have.

[@carlanderson798]

This is the Adriatic video. Make a video to show everything and then not replace the battery which is why we click on the video in the first place.

Sorry, I ended up buying a new Nest and returning this one since it is really defective.

I just did all of this, yet I just learned you are supposed to charge the battery through the USB….this was a complete waste of time.

[@TheGizmoGarage]

You can charge it using USB but if your ac/heating system is not properly wired you'll need to diagnose the problem there... But this video is to show you how to change a DEFECTIVE battery in nest that won't charge.

Li Fan. You need to delete this video because you did not replace the battery. If you did you would have broken the tiny pins that connect to the circuit. Why even make a video and not actually go through the entire process? WARNING!!! DO NOT REPLACE THE BATTERY, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT.

[@pamkessler5265]

I've done this also, but it last only a day or so & then have to charge again. I'm going to order a new battery & swap it out, as I can't keep taking it down to charge - which seems to take longer each time I do it

All the no-name replacement batteries have terrible reviews and present a fire risk in your wall. The Nest is a hopelessly incompetent and irresponsible product. Do yourself a favor and trash it. Then get a $30 programmable thermostat and go on with your life.
