This is a solid battery mod for the Panasonic Q so you can swap batteries easily when it dies. The current method to desolder the old battery and use a like-for-like replacement; that's not ideal cause the pads on these PCBs are beyond fragile. One time battery removal, solder 2 wires to this mod and you're done. I tried to make it as easy as possible and cheap as possible by using a retail CR2032 battery holder, which has its own on/off switch. Hope everyone can enjoy the mod.
Required:
1 - retail CR2032 holder. I used these: https://a.co/d/fIHMsnW
3 - m2 threaded inserts, 4mm height or less.
3 - m2 countersink 6mm screws
2 - 28awg wires for the battery (I didn't measure length, but that's easy enough to figure out).
General Steps to install mod
- Desolder the old battery
- Print the 2 3d files
- solder the 2 wires to the CR2032 holder first
- install the threaded inserts to the brace
- put the brace on the battery holder. It should be semi-snug with it fitting over the switch.
- Place the battery holder into the base. The positive wire will route underneath (you'll see it in the print)
- install the 3 m2 countersink screws to secure the brace to the base.
- shove the wires into the wire guides as shown in the main photo. 28awg should be perfect (hopefully for everyone…).
- Place the completed holder over the 2 posts. You'll see how it sits in one of the photos.
- route the wires around and then solder to the 2 points. Make sure you get the positive and negative correct.
- install battery and make sure the switch is to the ON position.
- reassemble and reinstall. You are now done.
