Zoom2 Replacement Battery

[Akiduki]

Hi all,

I have encountered a problem for finding an appropriate replacement
battery for Zoom2, the battery has 4 external pins, instead of 3 which
is commonly seen in cell phone batteries. Does anyone here have some
related experiences and can offer some help for finding a correct
battery? Thank you.

Best regards,
Aki

The Zoom battery pack is semi-custom. LogicPD (manufacturer of Zoom) seems to have asked the battery vendor to take a Off the shelf battery, build PTC circuit, wire it up and shrink wrap it.

The best way to get a battery is send it in for RMA as they/Logic don't directly sell these batteries.

Incase, you figure other ways out of this -- please post on this thread.

Hi Goluguri,

Thanks for the info.

The motivation to find a replacement battery is the wires connected to the battery is broken after several times of re-soldering. Zoom2 seems not be able to boot if this battery is not connected to the device. So the only solution I figured out is to find a replacement battery. If there is any possibility that Zoom2 can boot without battery connected, can you offer some hint to complete that?

Best,
Yuanyi

Zoom should be able to boot without a battery. Have you connected the debug board?

I'm sorry, I mean without debug board, set bootenv as quiet console, detach the battery connection and apply power adapter directly to the zoom2 itself. I can't boot using the above way.

Best,

Hi Goluguri,

 

Thanks for the info.

The motivation to find a replacement battery is the wire...

Yuanyi,

You should be able to connect the zoom without a battery. You should also be able to boot with the zoom's debug board attached with no battery installed.

Hi Orb,

I think I have followed exactly what those pages tell me to do, since I can boot without debug board, while have the battery connected. Only when I didn't have the battery connected(and without debug board), I can't boot.

Best,
