Won't last forever
5 of 5 found this helpful These are good when they work. Unfortunately, they have rechargeable LiFe or LiPo batteries that will balloon and cease working when left unused for so long, including the bulk ones you see on this site that have been sitting in a warehouse for who-knows-how-long. Even if they were maintained and still keep a charge, these batteries will still need to be replaced at some point.
While it it _is_ possible to replace the battery, there are a number of caveats. First, these glasses were not designed to be disassembled. There are 6 screws, but the plastic is mostly held together with clips and glue, with the two central corners at the nose having clips that are glued (these are the worst to separate).
On top of that, you have to be very mindful not to pull too hard when separating those two joints, because the battery is adhered to the inner plastic, while the PCB is adhered to outer/front plastic. In my case, the battery leads ripped cleanly off the PCB; however, if they don't, you could risk ripping the solder pads off the PCB or ripping the PCB off of the front plastic and damaging the connections to the LCDs. If at all possible, I recommend holding open the plastic at the top just enough to reach in with some slim snips and cut the battery leads before attempting to pry off those two glued clips.
Now comes the fun part: finding a replacement battery and soldering it in. I wasn't able to find any exact replacements after a day of searching, but the TinyCircuits ASR00011 (as recommended to me on AVS Forum) appears to be close enough. I have one on order and will update this review once I've attempted installation.
