http://www.powerstream.com/non-magnetic-lipo.htm
The LiPo battery cannot be shipped with the kit because of international
shipping restrictions for Lithium batteries.
Alternatively the DistoX can be used with standard AAA batteries but this is not
recommended because of the limited performance (see appendix).
- Tools:
A Torx T6 screwdriver
A Soldering Iron and solder
Solder Wick or another solder removing tool
Kit Contents
- A DistoX replacement board (replacing the main board of the original Disto).
- 9 inox replacement screws.
- A micro-USB socket breakout board and a pin header.
- Four adhesive pads to fix the battery.
Assembly
1)
To get rid of the magnet in the endpiece, you either have to remove the magnet or the whole
endpiece. To remove just the magnet it is easiest to drill a small hole up to and slightly under
the magnet using a Dremel like tool and a small drill (I am using a 0.8mm ball-drill). It can
then be levered out using an ale.
To remove the whole endpiece look at point 8).

- Page 2 Solder the Lipo battery to the large pads on the bottom of the board. Choose the length of the leads such that the battery can be mounted on the upper side on top of the parts. Place the adhesive pads on both sides of the battery as shown. Be careful: connecting the battery with wrong polarity or shorting it destroys the battery and/or the board.
- Page 3 Remove the mainboard screw and the whole board. If you like to remove the endpiece it is now time to do it. The two parts of the axis are glued to the case on the inner side below the main board. If the glue is damaged during removal you have to replace it to keep the device water proof.
- Page 4 10) Connect the sensor and Laser module cables. The corresponding connectors have sliders which must be pulled out and bend up. 11) Replace the two LCD display screws by the provided inox equivalents. 12) Insert the keypad cable (no slider). 13) Insert the LCD cable.
- Page 5 14) Close the case. Make sure the keypad cable is placed sideways below the board. Take care of the correct placement of the rubber seal. 15) Use the provided inox replacement screws, keep the original washers in place. 16) To get a charge connector, solder the USB connector breakout board to the battery contacts in the battery case.
- Page 6 Appendix: Using the Device with AAA Batteries Using Alkaline or Lithium primary batteries is not recommended because they largely influence the compass. You have to calibrate the device at least after each battery change. If you like to build a device powered from non-rechargeable AAA batteries anyway, follow the instructions in this document with the following exceptions: - Do not connect a rechargeable battery to the board.
