This guide only fixes a dead battery, and only on new-style transponders with rounded edges. Old square transponders with four corner screws use different batteries. Use a heat gun to heat the white glue so the dead battery comes out faster, but do not apply so much heat that the plastic casing melts. After soldering in the new battery, check that it fully charges, which can take up to 24 hours or more depending on capacity, then tape the yellow casing piece you cut off back onto the transponder. Fill empty space around the battery with a hot glue gun, refit the black end-cap, glue it together, and hold it with clear tape or duct tape until it cools, then remove the tape and check that it looks and works. Be very careful not to cut yourself with the Stanley knife and not to burn your fingers on hot glue. The author takes no responsibility if you damage the transponder or it does not work afterward. New-style yellow TranX 160 OEM is NiMH 1.2V 1250mAh, replace with NiMH 1.2V 2200 mAh AA for extended use. New-style red TranX 260 replace with NiMH 1.2V 2700 mAh AA for extended use. Old-style yellow TranX 160 OEM is 3.6V 400mAh NiCd (3 x 1/3 AA 300 mAh with pins), get 3-NH1/3AA_pin. Old-style red TranX 260 OEM is 3.6V 450mAh NiCd (3 x 1.2V 450mAh prismatic cells).
