Polaroid i-Type Camera Battery Issues - Part 1: The problem with built-in lithium ion cells

My name is Jake and I overhaul and repair instant cameras! Got an i-Type camera with a dead battery? Get in touch! This episode of The Instant Camera Guy aims to be the first of what will be a multi-part series exploring the built in lithium ion batteries found in modern Impossible Project / Polaroid Originals cameras. Hidden inside the camera, and replaceable only after a partial dismantling the camera and giving your soldering iron a workout - these lithium ion batteries have a finite lifespan, and will eventually lose the ability to hold charge.

It broaches on the subject of right-to-repair, and should encourage the watcher to think: "If you cannot change the battery yourself, do you truly OWN a product"? I would like all watchers of the video to think critically about the subject, and avoid leaving heated, angry, defensive straw-man comments below. In my opinion, there is simply no excuse for making a camera powered by a battery that the average user cannot replace on their own. Only 20 or so years ago, replaceable batteries were the standard on just about ALL electronic devices. Laptops, phones, cameras all featured batteries that the user could swap themselves - even if the design was proprietary. These devices would feature a door, or a panel whereby the battery could be accessed and swapped. These days, more and more devices feature batteries hidden within the device itself, requiring disassembly and sometimes soldering to be replaced. The standard set of excuses for such behavior are "well it keeps the device slimmer", "its for waterproofing", "its too dangerous to replace a battery on your own" and many other examples that begin to fall apart quickly under even mild scrutiny. Lithium ion technology is not new. It is decades old. And decades ago we had batteries we could swap on our own. If you possess the ability to insert a new pack of film into your camera... you likely possess the ability to swap out a battery. Polaroid Originals / Impossible Project's decision to use non-user-replaceable batteries has left many users with a nothing more than a paper-weight after 2-5 years. My mission is to help revive these cameras and hopefully put a stop to this.
