My Vector is getting old. Here's how I gave him his life back.

Repairs Published June 27, 2026 Updated June 28, 2026

Vector has one flaw that almost every owner eventually runs into.

After a few years, the battery starts wearing out. Your little robot spends more and more time on the charger until eventually... it can't really leave it at all.

The good news? It's completely fixable.

In this video I'll show you how to replace Vector's battery from start to finish, including the disassembly, the small amount of soldering required, and getting him back to exploring your desk again.

If your Vector won't stay charged, this repair can give it a whole new life.
