Looking for a video of replacing the 9" HF coil battery on the Deus

[Cherry Picker]

I'm replacing the battery on my Deus with the 9" round HF coil and would like to find a good how-to video. I have seen some showing buying a new 9" coil and installing the battery, but I won't have the kit just the battery I believe. I need a video showing how best to replace the current battery on a Deus with the 9" round HF coil. I got the battery ordered and on the way from Big Boys.

Or is it a matter of simply lifting out the old, unscrewing it, screwing in the new, and set the battery back in?

Thanks.

Yep. Simple. You’ll have to stretch the wiring harness just a bit to get enough room to screw on new battery. You let go of it. You’ll have to pull it back up using something.

Cheers.

Looks like I just need to make sure the connector does not slip back down the shaft.

Easier to do if someone else will hold new battery and hand it to you when you are ready to connect it. Solo it can be sorta tough.

My plan is to make a wire holder so that when I pull the connector out I can wrap it and hold it from being pulled back in the shaft until I screw on the new battery. Sound possible?

Gott love the USPS. I still haven't gotten my battery replacement, Big Boys sent it out quickly, but it got to Wichita KS, 155 miles away, 5 days ago, and now they don't know where it is. Just says in transit to the next facility.

Woot. Got my new battery, thanks Bart, and piece of cake to install. Charging now.
