Save ~$85 by fixing your Bontrager ion 700



My Bontrager ion 700 died recently, but instead of buying a new one, I did a DIY project, (see the link below) to replace the old battery with a new one. So, instead of spending ~$100 on a new light, I fixed the old one for ~$15.

It's been a little over 2 years since I did this DIY project and the replacement battery is still going strong. The light even serves as an emergency flashlight occasionally.

It's now been almost 6 years since I did the DIY battery replacement and the replacement battery is still working. The case is starting to look a little worse for wear, but the battery life is still good.
