Just wondering if anyone has ever run across replacement switches for the Riva/eGo? I have not killed one of these batteries yet, but lately a couple of vapers have given me dead batteries in hopes of repairing them. A few of them were repaired by resoldering the negative connection at the base, but a few others obviously have switch problems. I'd love to find replacement switch assemblies for these.

Warning!
These batteries are manufactured and sold Not to Be repairable due to the Inherent Dangers of LiPo batteries! - You run the risk of fire, explosion, flying debris, skin burns, personal injury and the release of Toxic Fumes!
I do not recommend anyone trying to repair them!!

That being said, if you chose to continue..

Be very careful when rebuilding these batteries!

Pulling the compression fitting button segment out can lead to a short between the positive and negative terminal leading to the stated risks above. Do not twist out the fitting! The positive Lead tab off the battery is not heat shrink insulated and may short out to the Negative case body. The Positive lead is sandwiched through a foam insulator. Even the best and most experience techs have accidents! And again, I Do Not Recommended attempts at repairing Batteries!

Here is what you are looking for. Be Safe! Be Smart!
