FiveRoooooers Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 UPDATE: The batteries arrived Replacement of batteries, done!

NeylasMom Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Yay! Does your computer friend want to do this for a reasonable fee? I think there are several of us who would pay. I would especially pay if it could be converted so I could replace the batteries in the future.

RaineysMom Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 can you ask your friend if he just soldered the feet of the batteries to the unit?

Yenney Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I know this is a last years post but I would love for you to replace my batteries once mine dies. I am on a fixed income (someone donated the first one to me) it’s really helped my senior dog but I can’t pay 300$ for a new unit. Are you still offering to do this. I can pay for your time. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twocks67 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I have been waiting for our vet to get the order of new loops in for days now. We decided to try and change the battery ourselves and it worked. We bought the batteries at our local home hardware store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyi, you can buy your loops directly from the company. And they have sales periodically if you're on their mailing list. They've had a lot actually since covid.

If you are good with soldering and circuit boards, it’s not difficult. You have to de-solder the old batteries and solder new ones in. I’m willing to do this for you if you don’t want to mess around with that part. It’s a lot better than spending 300 dollars every time. Let me know if this interests anyone.

2HappyHounds Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hi All, I just received my Assisi Loop today for my 2 hounds. I didn't know that the this was a throw away unit-my fault for not reading the details. Like all of you, I don't want to spend another $300 for a new unit and toss the old unit if all it needs are batteries. It would be a while if I wait to do mine and then let all of you know how it went. I am up for the challenge of replacing the batteries. Just to be clear, I have not replaced the batteries in one of these units. I can't guarantee the outcome, but I will do the best that I can. I do have soldering experience. I would ask you cover the all the shipping and the cost of the batteries. If you are willing to take a chance, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueAssisiLoop Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) I opened the device and since the two batteries are soldered inside, I'm giving up and recommend that we file a class action against these thieves and purchase this instead (about $25 USD).

eanelson70 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Just successfully replaced the batteries in our loop. Had my engineering student son for support. Required cutting the heat shrink wrap, prying apart the 2 white pieces (breaking the seal), then had to use a solder gun to remove the 2 batteries, and solder on new batteries, used silicone glue to re-seal the device and heat shrink wrap to seal the wires. Works! <$10 fix including solder gun and batteries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time4ANap Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I haven't done a battery replacement but checked into it since we are considering buying one of these. When you buy new batteries, you want to buy them with the soldering tabs already installed. Amazon has them. There are multiple providers and the one I am linking here is just to show the picture, I know nothing about the seller and don't have a brand to suggest at this point. https://www.amazon.com/CR2032-Lithium-Battery-Solder-Tabs/dp/B00ES28AT4 Quote Camp Broodie.

Brokenwing Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Hey all. I just got the Assisi loop from my vet and they failed to mention that it will only last for ONE MONTH for my cat with pancreatitis, (they also sold me a SMALL 10cm one and I can't exchange it for a larger one meanwhile they had opened the box for me, I didn't even see the closed box so I'm angry about that!).. I was happy to spend around 600 Canadian on something that can help me cat's pancreatitis but, EVERY MONTH? That's INSANE and truly, they are thieves, to say the least! To ask people to throw these still functioning machines out after the battery dies is also polluting the planet. Things like this SHOULD BE ILLEGAL, truly. We are filling this planet with JUNK and garbage because of companies like these who only think about themselves. And who ever said that they had to make it like this so they can have it FDA approved, that is not correct. That is just an excuse someone came up with for marketing reasons. The ones they sell for humans is just 25$, think about it for a second. I'm not sure if it's the same frequency, can anyone find out? So anyone who has an Assisi loop, look in your neighborhood for a cell phone or laptop or any type of electronics REPAIR SHOP, go to them and ask them to change the battery for you and they will gladly do it and not charge a lot. If you get reachable batteries, (they don't have to be the same KIND) they have to be similar voltage and amp, yes but they can be different size, shop around, they can change them with rechargeable ones. The electronics people will know what to do. No need to ask people online. It might help if you open the cover yourself though and take it to them with it opened. They can change the battery for your while you stand. My father had an electronics repair shop for many years when I was growing up and he would have gladly helped anyone out in similar situations. So look for rechargeable batteries with the same amp and volt and change it with that. You can even make a new compartment for it if need be. There are types of Clay that you mix and you shape it into whatever you want and it hardens after.. Or you can get a piece of plastic from another device and fashion a cover. To anyone who has a LOOP with a dead battery that is larger than 10cm, (20cm and up) I would be interested in buying your loop from you. PLEASE DON"T THROW THEM OUT. Resell them online. Let those manufacturers know that they are doing something wrong! Put them on ebay or your local reseller website (I use Kijiji in Toronto). If you are in Toronto, I'll gladly buy it. lanahandal@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brokenwing Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The KT recovery + Wave which costs 25$ and gives more hours than the Assisi Loop has this frequency.. : The ActiPatch operates at 27.12MHz shortwave frequency, pulsing at a 1000 pulses per second with a pulse width of 100µsecs. The Assisi Loop is also 27.120 MHZ but I believe at different durations of 2mW average 50 OHM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
