Cardo Packtalk Series Battery Replacement
« on: April 04, 2022, 12:14:35 pm »
Hello Fellow Riders,

If you own a Cardo Packtalk series device (Smartpack / Packtalk / Packtalk Bold / Packtalk Black) I found a very good video the you tubes that shows how to replace the battery:

Hope this is helpful,

That same UK repair shop just made another video to replace the USB port on our Packtalk series devices.

Mine is a little worn, would like to try this, don't know if my soldering skills/tools are quite there yet though.

Check it out here:

Thanks again!  So far so good with our units.  I’ve dropped a Bluetooth connection every once in a while but the intercom has been flawless.  The range is decent as well.

Wow!!  THANKS, 09FJRrider!!  I learned a lot on that little vid. 

I have several Sena's and a couple more Cardo units.  I've replaced batteries in several and several friends units, too.  When you know how to "read" the "part numbers" on the OEM batteries it's easy to purchase replacement batteries for less than $10 ea online.  Sometimes even get significant increases in battery capacity and run-time over the original, and for cheap, too.  Next time I'll install connectors on the leads so I can just plug and play.
