Xvive U2 Wireless Guitar Kit How To Replace The Batteries 

your welcome and happy to hear things worked out for you

your welcome

That's cool but if they were "newly bought" why didn't you just send them back for replacement under warranty? There's a 1 year warranty on new units.

wow , good to hear they are fixed tho great job

Same thing happened to mine…battery is fine but the connection drops when the stupid thing moves around on the hinge.

Glad it helped

your welcome and ya they dont like drinking and playing

cool stuff so how are the units working for you now

What battery did u put in? Looking for 1

@@Bmxmusikian me too! Did you find one? I’d appreciate a link if so. Thanks!

@@alexstchur254 I've got 1, 800 mah, not put it in yet I'll let you know if it fits :)

@@alexstchur254 So, it fits! All back together and works fine

Excellent!

i know Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!

@Asher Jose Instablaster =)

@Bentlee Fox i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

@Bentlee Fox It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much, you really help me out :D

Glad it helped

your welcome and congrats

based on this BAD advice i went ahead and ordered 2 700 mah batteries. they're too big and by a LOT! thanks PETER!

@@peekayboo7183 now there's a dumb ass reply. he said they'd fit! they didn't! and yes, that's his fault!

Hi were did you get your 700ma battery from I can’t find any on the internet

@@theID2 You do realize the 700 mAh is a measure of battery capacity and has nothing to do with the physical dimensions, right? You'll find 700 mAh batteries in a variety of package sizes to fit different applications. You have to check the dimensions.

no problem now i just need to get a new Xvive kit stuff can happen so be carefull first time i have ever had a problem but it can happen

Glad it helped

lol yup

cool stuff

Filippo, where did you find the replacement battery? Can you share the part number? Thanks.

@@donfreeman686 HI!www.ebay.it/itm/2pcs-3-7V-700mAh-Li-Polymer-Rechargeable-Battery-For-MP3-Recorder-GPS-DVD-802535/263739906163?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

I bought the same battery on your recommendation, works fine, buuuuut, the light never turns off after charging (even after 8 hours) and when it started flashing after a few minutes of usage, I thought it was not holding charge and flat already, but the unit seems to work for ages while flashing. Could the battery be a different capacity and is triggering the “low battery” warning immediately?

@@danstone4075 Hi! It's very strange... I installed the same battery to my friend... Without problems.

thanks

likey the batteries need to be replaced even a weak battery will take a full charge so it says but it really is not fully charged after 4 years it is time for new batteries for sure , how ever you can try a test and go away from the home bring a mini amp with you if you have one other wise just the units and a guitar and plug the transmitter into the guitar and turn on both and see if it still happens when your not at home or near to many people .. my boss system is getting interfeared with at home right now we have fiquired its the new interenet system we have becuase this never happen untill then and one iam at our chuch or any where else they hold a solid connection, the last set of Xvives I had also would not hold a connection at home only at the church now we do have internet at church and other guitar gear and mic gear thats all wireless and none of that stuff interfears so its something to do with out current interent provider here at home which is totally different then our chuch internet , now that being said weak batteries can also do the same thing to you, so its one or the other so you need away from home and away from alot of people testing to be sure what it is if it does it at home and ever where else then it likey is the batterys,, there is also one othert possibility if you droped them one to many times that can also screw them up..

Thanks Kevin for the details. I'll need to source the batts. kindly share the battery model please?

good stuff

your welcome and check places like wish and banggood for the batteries you need to take the measurements of your stock ones to match them up but you can do it

@@KevinMillard68 And I need to find one with plugs (if possible) with the right polarity.

cool try out the boss systems they are freaking outstanding

thanks i do my best

thanks man its ok stuff happens i have a spare set so iam ok

i do all my own stuff on cell phone and ipads and have the tools for it as well same as the imacs to i have been an apple tech sence 1990

Excellent!

give it a go and see is all i can tell you it just might work but be carefull either way

it could be yes

your welcome

its cheaper if you mess up if you dont then you save if you get them to do it its also cheaper then getting a new set

try to reset your channels on each one to make sure they are on the same channel

likely you just need a new batterie get both units done same time

could a a problem on your pedeal board or even your amp did you tray going back to a guitar cable to make sure your gear is fine also keep in mind if you have active pickups these are not made to work with active pickups

not enough room inside

i run the sinlge cell lipos dead ones a month and i get longer live that way you just dont leave them dead for long so once they are dead i leave them 1 hour then charge them even lipo batteries can hold a memory and the only way to clear them is to run them till they are dead once in awhile i do the same with my phone as well

i have not had to replace the batterys as of yet but you can take the mesurments and check all the chinese dealers for RC stuff online for batterys or just contact Xvive for replacment batteries they should last thoe for along long time before any replacement is needed my other sets have over 200 +++charges each on them and still going strong , once every month or two i run them till they shut down then let them sit for about 1 hour then recharge them this will help keep the batteries in great shape for along time..

@@KevinMillard68 a.co/d/cLn3Qn8

charge them fully the leds go out when they are charged but make sure the power switches are off when charging

your welcome good to hear you got things going

could be a battery problem yes are your units still under warranty ?

I have a similar problem on one of my sets. LEDs light and units pair. But no audio. Or more correctly very weak & noisy audio. Since I have multiple sets, I tested with transmitter from 2nd set and it worked fine. Thus in my case it’s only the transmitter unit failing and that doesn’t work with a known good receiver. Could be battery or something in the circuit. I’ll probably try to replace the battery. Did you ever try to fix yours?

no idea whats going on there might email or call xvive on that one they would know whats going on

i cant recall but iam sure it was just a phillps head aka star tip and youll need the jewlers screwdrivers for this

the wires inside can be repaired if thats the problem your having other then battery

check for a screw or if there is none then pop it with a flat blade screw driver

I pushed in that tab first, then pried the seam and it popped right up.

yes it will work on all acoustic preamp pickups as a far as i know so far i have had not issues with takamine or fishmans even someof the no name sytems have been fine only problems so far are active pups on full electric guitars and bass guitars with active pups all passive pups have been great

@@KevinMillard68 I found out this unit will not work with an active microphone pickup like the LR Baggs Lyric - it sets up a squeal that you can't get rid of. I contacted Xvive and they confirmed this.

@@reoguy43 i have used these on Fender cc60 sce martin DRS1 taylor 114ce 110e takamine gd-30 taylor 314ce and a few others with no problems at all i have also tested them with a few chinese no name pickupsystems as well no prblems. they do say they dont work with activer pups but any pickup system that uses batteries to power the pups is consider to be active how ever in all the acoutics i have mentioned i have used them with an no probelms its possible your LR braggs also has no ground lift sytem in it which can cause problems that or your preamp output is to high of output again that can cause problems as well with any system ,, i just put a fifine wireless headset in my new yamaha dgx660 and had to turn the keyobards preamp control way back in order to use the headset with out feed back problems and it works perfect.. i have tested wireless guitar kits of many sorts on keyobards as well and not one of them that said you can do it ever worked on them so there is some advertizing that was no right they said it would work well it didnt not everthing is a 100% gaurntee to work or not

@@KevinMillard68 The Lyric uses only a microphone pickup (no under saddle PU). I have the Lyric in a Martin D1R and a Yamaha FG-830. The squeal I get is not feedback - guitar is silent. I have tried several other wireless systems (Rowin and Nady) with the same results. I contacted LR Baggs support yesterday, but have not heard back from them. Also, where can I find the battery? Email is reo43@aol.com

@@reoguy43 well then id ditch it and get a real pickup put in no offence but microphone pickups are garbadge noting but problems and sound bad as well they cause alot of low and hi end hum and are just well in my opinion junk. i have messed with alot of pickup systems over the years and any that had a micorphone were horriable. they are so picky to get just right and most times it still does not help them out properly .. you problem is the mic its acting like an active pickup but in the wrong way if you know what i mean .. you need and under saddle pickup system that or go back to a cable on your guitar and i know you dont want to hear that but its how it is ,, now that i know what your running these are the soloutions..the only other soloution that might and i say might help is Boss has a wireless system that works specificially for active pickups but will cover all types and they have a set that is made for reguial guitars with passive and also works with all the guitars i mentioned eairler that have undersaddle system only .. i can not guartee that your system with even work with bosses active wireless system but its worth a shot to try and see what happens ..

thank you as well.

direct from xvive for a stock battery or you can check amazon or wish or perhaps aliexpress

even the stock units worked the same way with the lights for me and i have had 3 or 4 sets of these so your good to go

@@KevinMillard68 Thanks for the reply. Before I changed the batteries, the red light would be on when the receiver was on. The blue light is on when it's linked to the transmitter. If I turn the transmitter off, there are no lights illuminated on the receiver, so you can't tell it's on. So if you forget to shut it off you wouldn't know it was still on without the red light on. Mine wasn't like that before (if I forgot to turn it off, the red light on the receiver would be lit to remind me). There'll also be no flashing low battery warning light if the red light isn't on. Is that how all your Xvives work? You have no indication the receiver is on when it's not linked to the transmitter?

@@KevinMillard68 Just noticed at 14:45 in your video you say that the (red) light on the transmitter won't come back on. This happened on the receiver only for me (the transmitter red light still turns on). Why would changing the battery disable the red light from turning on when the unit is on? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

make sure they are on the same channel ,, also check the volume knob on your guitar and make sure your amp is on and its volume is also on

@@KevinMillard68 I did. Everything is ok. Last using was ok like others. Then the other day i decided to play guitar and turn it on but i had no sound

@@valve4 if they are fully charged and they are bound to each other properly then you should be good to go, how ever its possible that a wire broke off in side one of the units youll have to take them apart to find out, unless of course you have the warranty in which case they get replaced so l ong as you dont mess with them

@@KevinMillard68 I solved the problem! I've opened the unit and close again and the problem is fixed. Maybe there was an electric problem

i got no idea whats affecting your range if they are still iunder warranty you can get them replaced if not then buy a new set of get the boss wireless system i have the new boss system and love it longer run time auto channel searhing to 14 different channels range is also really good to.. and longer warranty from boss as well ,

I have the same problem with 1 of my 3 xvives. The range is now 3 meters line of sight. If I turn or some thing is in the way I get signal drop. I'm thinking of eMailing xvive to ask how much a replacement board would cost. xviveaudio.com/art/contact-us-a0045.html

it's my same problem what we can do brother??

i dont get any noise from mine so guess thats a matter of opinion on the ground wire, if there is noise its the pups in the guitar or some other problem but not the wireless unit

you will have to take it apart and measure it your self as batterys are not always 100% the same measurments and i cant help you any how i no longer have these anymroe sence i upgrade to the boss wireless

no one has that answer no 2 batters are egual for this and then again we also dont know how long you are using the set for and the one battery always loses moire power then the other one its how Tx and rX systems work the one with the heavery load dies sooner we also dont know what the charge state is per unit for each said use so there is not anwer other then to say couldbe alot could be not alot to many variables to give you a real answer

cant help you on a product i have never worked on sorry

@@KevinMillard68 its cool. Imma just work somethin out... maybe make another shielding

@@zacbdeo6175 k

if i recall they are phillips aka star tip

you cant you buy a new set how evcer you might find parts some where on the internet but its more trouble then its worth to do so id just get a new set and make your singer pay them

take them apart take the measurements and the mah are written on them they are single cell lipo cells order batteiers from either xvive driect or go on sites like aliexpress or banggood under the rc parts area for batteries match up what you need and go from there

you have to fully change them and store them that way when not in use, there is no way toput them into a storage mode once installed into the units , you got 8 hours of no use run time thats different then auctal run time doing their job but i would make a test to see what the playing run time is for sure

@@KevinMillard68 I'm not talking about storage of the batteries in the units, I'm referring to the extra batteries I purchased. And yes, I know how to charge and store Lipo batteries. I'm fully aware that there could be a difference between the units simply turned on, and how they might perform while playing, but I don't think I'll be playing my guitar for hours and hours just to see how long they last. LOL It was just an observation, since the normal batteries would have died out before 8 hours, simply sitting there turned on. I won't be doing a play test for hours and hours, and I don't think anyone else will either, unless you fancy doing it yourself... Pick up some 700mAh batteries and let me know how it goes! For me, the 4 - 5 hours I normally perform, including sound check, brief rehearsal, playing, break time and playing again, I'm pretty sure I can simply leave the units on for the entire process and not run into a low battery situation. I used to turn them off after sound check, rehearsal, then turn them on for the first set, off again until the second set. Problem arises when I forgot to turn them back on a time or two. Kinda frustrating to start the set and notice my guitar was silent! Bend down, turn on the receiver, turn on the transmitter and I was good to go, all though a little embarrassed. LOL

take it apart and measure it i dont have these anymore

nope you take it out check the mah measure the size of the battery look for the same thing at places like aliexpress and bang good that or just email the company to sell you the replacements

no one can give you that answer it all depends how much you use them how often you recharge them and so on

@@KevinMillard68 Thanks for the courtesy of a reply. That explains why I have seen some that say won't take a charge after 1 year and others say 2 and three years. So the answer is pretty much depends how much you use them.

@@rcboals yup and your welcome

no idea whats causing that problem never heard of that happening my self id contact Xvive on that one they might be able to help

@@KevinMillard68 Hello, thank you for your response. I'm going to contact Xvive, I hadn't thought of that!

more mah is longer run time and if your taking the time to do one do them both with new batterys

@@KevinMillard68 Thank you very much for your answer. Yes I will do both.

if i recall it is Philips and just use on the fits perfect with out slop or hardly any slop at all

well stuff happens

i cant help you other then to say if its under 1 year old there is a warranty so you need to claim it... if your over the 1 year then buy a new set or go for a different brand like boss ,, i cant not tell you what the problem is with your unit when its not in front of me.. you can also try running the batterys in both till they are both dead then let sit for 1 hour then fully recharge them and see what happens..

@@KevinMillard68 cant i get your contact i will send the video to show the problem

@@jacksondkofficial you can show me what ever you want i cant help you if its not in front of me , if your units are with in the 1 year warranty just claim the warrantee otherwise get a new set as it would not be worth the money for you to even ship them to me to be repaired and thats if i can repair them

these are rechargeable units so they run off the battery and there is no way you could run them from a usb cable each unless it was really freaking long and you were really careful as well so iam going with no not off the cable

@@KevinMillard68 No, I mean, would it work if I took the battery out of the receiver, and kept it connected to usb? The receiver doesn't move around... The battery in my receiver has swollen and I'm wondering if I could just remove it and run it off usb, or do I need to replace it to make it functional...

try banggood.com or Xvive them self or aliexpress

the batteries can be changed buy the factoy or i belive also a dealer i know they have a place in canada that can replace them as for the USA not sure you can email Xvive about it

@@KevinMillard68 These are actually pretty easy to find ... uxcell Power Supply DC 3.7V 500mAh 602530 Li-ion Rechargeable Lithium Polymer Li-Po Battery, costs ... a.co/d/dGQVOQM

I have had this issue, I tried leaving the receiver plugged in to a charge source(laptop, or usb to electric plug adapter-like for a D. camera-), and the unit works all day, Much longer than five hours straight. So it appears one side takes much longer to discharge than the other.

direct from xvive or you can check the Chinese websites after you take yours out and do the measurments

its possible the battery is low your supposed to rechage them after each use and if you have not used them in sometime then you should top them off before use

@@KevinMillard68 thanks for replying. The batteries are fully charged, in fact the issue still happens even when the batteries are being charged 😢

@@himavangchhia your not supposed to use them while charging also your not supposed to have them turnned on while charging

@@KevinMillard68 okay i did that to be sure it is not caused due to low battery

@@himavangchhia well contact the company see what they say

take one out take the measurements then search the internet for new ones or contact xvive for new batteries

batterys do go bad

@@KevinMillard68 Just dismantled the RX unit. Since the TX seems to be signalling the RX and it intermittently functions properly, then it cuts out is the reason why I chose to dismantle the RX unit. Anyway, the battery markings are indicated, the + & - leads are marked, PN I is ZY 702535 and specs are 3.7V 600 mAh & last is the 2019/04/24 date stamp. DC voltage read is 4.05V after a full charge. I'm certain the RX unit is defective rather than a bad battery with that reading. During operation, it seems to drift thru the channels for reception trying to lock on to the TX signal. Regardless of the systems 4 channels it makes no difference what channel I select on the TX or RX units, it's still the same intermittent play & cut out. It was fun to take it apart and see the guts. I first thought it may have been broadcast interference, but I haven't introduced anything operating in the frequency range that would disrupt or even outright take that frequency like a 2.4/5 Ghz computer router and wifi would. No microwave interference either, since the 700-730 Mhz frequency is what operates in that range. The units were always a little hissy & loud regardless of where I played. I was hoping there was a tuner/trim adjustment inside that might eliminate that noise, similar to a AM/FM radio tuner trying to lock onto a bandwidth frequency with a weaker & more distant transmitter & radio signal. I need to remove the PCB to see if that's the case for adjusting the unit ? If there is adjusting screw, I can use a pedal amp to tweak that. I'll take photos and probably find a forum or put them on Facebook or Google Images so that someone else can assess whether a $ 20 Chinese wireless is even worth piddling with. Not sure it's a matter of getting what you paid for with such a simple device on a wafer of a PCB. Hunting down new guts appears to be a waste of time as would a battery swap. A battery is anywhere from $ 2-7.50 on line, but then you have to consider S&H and the labor involved. Anyway, back to learning more about these things.

Well, I did get the RX working again, it's a defective power switch and PCB mounting issue. Turning the power switch on & off has done something to the solder connection of the switch & PCB trace of the board itself where the switch is located . My permanent solution is to order & replace with a new RX unit. The temporary solution was to leave the RX unit in the "always" on position and charge it constantly. It's not really gig-able & stage reliable for sure at this point in the repair process. The warranty on similar A8 GWS is 6 months, 30 day returns and this GWS is a year old at this point, so they know they don't last very long anyway, especially when they sell replacement units for either the TX or RX. The way I have it temporarily operating, it's just a matter of time before the TX has an issue with the on/off power switch just the same ? But I can switch around the other 3 channels (4 channels in total) with either the TX or RX, as it works on all channels properly beyond the RX turning on & off properly. Definitely order another complete set and use the bad unit & set for parts or recycle it as garbage. They do have good & strong batteries in that regard. The PCB is tiny, pretty complex for what looks like inexpensive SMT parts. I doubt I can solder much more than a battery & wires, so the parts are really beyond cherry picking as a donor GWS.

@@jimcamp2423 you can always solder the power swich back in place if its broken off the contacts either way if you have a soloution then great.. i did goto the boss units and never had a problem ,, boss rules when it comes to effects amps and now wireless systems,, these tho are great little units the boss ones are so much better i cant complain to much on these ones tho but the boss does allow for 14 auto search channels to make sure no problems with any other systems and no power switches to worry about and 2 times more run time then these ones and boss has an awesome warranty as well on there stuff to and the build quailty of the boss is also way better then any other systems i have owned or used as well

take it back if its less then 1 year or turn the volume on your amp down a bit see if its still there all amps have a hiss sound the more the volume is up the more you hear it if all else fails change channels on the kit or send back for warranty

you search google , but to shorten things a bit call the company for replacements or goto banggood or aliexpress or wish

thats because you pull out what in there now take the specs and measurements and find same thing online and thats what you order thats why i never told you all

check aliexpress and banggood under rc batteries,and when i was with them they told me batterys can be reoplaced under warranty or they have a place for off warranty as well how ever this it seems has changed from what your telling me but you can get thrd party batterys from chinese websites and do it your self

where ever you can find them in china aliexpress banggood etc, size them up order them and way you go

if you have a set then take them apart to find out , i dont have my xvives anymore all my sets are toast and i only use the boss sets now ...

Hi Kevy. I'm good to go now with the battery order as my unit is down to about 1.5 hours battery life now. if you could just rat around for that old battery and just post the measurements here, don't worry about the video, just the numbers will be fine.

@@LiveArtPresents Did these batteries work well?

maybe next time

alchohol and electroncis dont get along

you can have the battereis replaced or you can attempt it your self i have a video on this, one thing you can try that sometimes works is charge them up fully tune them on and leave them on till they die do this 3 times in a row one the 4th charge up test them to see how long they last and let me know how it goes these use lipoly batteires and even tho the science says thehy wont build a memory i have found this to be total BS give it a go and see what happens

auctually no i have not its how these are made so ther is no way around it , if you in fact have a set of these xvives it will be the same processee unless they have changed the design which i have not seen any in canada even a recent set i reneted was made the same way and ihave owned several sets of these and rented 1 set recentally and all the same. so how long ago did you get a seto f these svives that have what your talking about id be interested in seeing a set that comes apart as you have said.

watch the video a few times youll get the idea

li poly batterys can cause fires if you puncture them dont believe me ask people that have lost their homes in such fires. sure they are a throw away product what istnt if you dont want to rpeair them then they are if not you can fix them but you have to be carefull when messing with li poly and lion batteries in all the products they are in . i personaly would never get into fixing this stuff for a living the money would be great if i did but only if there wa s a call for it but there is not mainly because more and more people get into doing this them self once they see how to videos .. id rather work on computers for people my self and repair stuff that is comman to fix. these units will varly when they die and need new batterys .. I dont even fix alot my own stuff anymore i just get extended coverage for as long as i can this way i can go and do things that are more fun to fix or just have fun in life.

I completely believe you Kev, my point is just that I don't want to mess around with it. I could phuck up a rock, so I'd rather not mess with the kind of stuff you did in the video. It was a great watch, just not in my swim lane. Tks. @@KevinMillard68

@@joeyguitarlo well you wont get your money back, but warranties are handy for sure.. i went boss in the end for many reasons the xvies are great but the boss ones have the extra edge over the rest of them including xvives

fix it your self its not that hard to change the batterys they are not worth anything if not working properly

sadzzzz @@KevinMillard68

And thx for showing us the way to fix it without damage! Great vid, chum !

@@brunolevasseur your welcome

i went with boss in the end the xives are great and all but the boss rule over anything out there
