You can replace the batteries yourself as long as you do it properly to avoid any
leakage of water into the battery compartment or computer. Always use original
battery replacement kits that include a new battery, battery lid, opening tool and O-
ring. You can purchase the battery kits from official Suunto retailers.
NOTE: Change the battery at your own risk and use the original Suunto battery
replacement kit. Suunto recommends you to have the batteries changed in official
Suunto services.
NOTE: When replacing the battery, also replace the battery lid and O-ring. Never
use the old ones.
To replace the battery:
1. Insert the opening tool or a coin into the slot located on the battery compartment
cover on the backside of your Suunto S6.
2. Turn the tool/coin counterclockwise until it is aligned with the open position marker.
3. Remove the battery compartment cover and the O-ring, and discard them. Ensure
that all surfaces are clean and dry.
4. Remove the old battery carefully.
5. Place the new battery into the battery compartment under the metal flap, with
the positive side facing up.
6. With the O-ring in the correct position, replace the battery compartment cover and
turn it with the tool/coin clockwise until it is aligned with the closed position marker.
Make sure that the cover stays straight while turning it. Do not use force or press
the cover excessively.
NOTE: Perform battery replacement with extreme care to ensure that your Suunto
S6 remains water resistant. Careless battery replacement may void warranty.
