BATTERY FIX FOR THE G1 HAND REMOTE

Ok, so listen. The first time I heard of a customer having the hand remote turn on only when plugged in, (charge light flickering), when he came to show me, it was working so opportunity lost. The second one, I serviced and bent back the battery clips which were so bent out, I assumed customs during shipping did it and did not clue in yet. Now, today, this customer lived 40 minutes away from my house, so this was my opportunity.

I packed up everything I needed with enough understanding what was happening. All third party remote makers hard solder to the battery ends. I do. Just not the G1, until now. I flowed out two solder joints, reassembled the hand remote and it is good. It was a field fix so I didn’t need to drive back. The rest will be under microscope.

Now in retrospect, what should have happen is I should have bonded the battery to the board which would stop it from vibrating and pushing out the battery clip a sixty fourth or greater. We are past that and will hard connect it like the evoR’s

What does that mean for you. Any hand remote assembled or serviced after May 19, 2026, will be good to go. Any hand remote assembled before this date, will be serviced by me. We will come together, and arrange shipment when it suits your schedule.

In the meanwhile, I would suggest you always have your charge cord and charge plug on hand as the hand remote will work fine without the battery.

Again, what is the symptom, when plugged in, the charge light flickers and if you have the hand remote turned on, and then you unplug the charge cord, the hand remote turns off.

We will get it fixed. I’m relieved to find out a correct fix.
