When to Replace Your TENS Unit Battery

If your TENS unit turns off unexpectedly, takes longer to charge, or delivers weaker stimulation, the battery may be nearing the end of its life. Regular replacement helps maintain consistent therapy sessions.

Most lithium-ion batteries last several hundred charge cycles, but actual lifespan depends on usage and care.

Step-by-Step Replacement Guide

Power Off the Device: Turn off your Balego TENS unit and disconnect any lead wires or electrodes to avoid accidental stimulation. Always power off before opening the compartment.
Locate and Open the Battery Compartment: Find the battery compartment, usually on the back or side. Slide or gently pry open the cover. If it resists, check for screws or a latch. Do not force the cover open; look for hidden locks.
Remove the Old Battery: Carefully lift the old battery out. Note the orientation (positive and negative ends) before removing. Never use metal tools that could short-circuit the battery.
Insert the Replacement Battery: Place the new lithium-ion battery in the same orientation, ensuring it sits flat and the contacts align. Check that the battery is fully seated before closing.
Close and Test: Close the compartment securely, power on the unit, and test it with a low-intensity setting to confirm it works. If the unit doesn't power on, recheck the battery orientation and contacts.
