    Good info in this thread. Going to finally replace my battery so won’t have to take the anker external battery every time. Just went with the 3600mAh. Seems easy enough.

        I purchased right from the nitecore website. No issues swapping it out.

          Did the 4000 battery work fine in your mevo?

          I am thinking on replacing and the extra charge would be fine

            This is the battery Flightscope suggested I use to replace the current one in my Mevo+. I think there are 2 different battery sizes for the mevo+, but I am not exactly clear on that.. Also, you can use "10off" coupon code on nitecore website for discount.

              Sorry for the slow reply but yes it's been working fine. Mine was one of the first Mevo+ units, the newer ones may support larger capacities.

                Thanks for info provided by other members for replacing the battery. I found it quite easy to peel back the rubber lining on the right of the Mevo+ and take the battery out. No need to open the unit up. The lining does go back in place easily.

                Regarding the battery options, I went to the Nitecore store and saw another variation of the battery that has a USB-C socket for charging. If you are using the peel back method to access the battery, it gives an easy way to charge using USB-C, and one one less cable / charger to carry around. This has been working quite well for me. I did notice that most of my smart chargers dont seem to charge though. Had to use an old dumb charger or my car USB-C charging cable.

                Another caveat is that this newer battery is about 2mm longer. I discovered quite accidentally that the extra length is because of a extra plate added to the base that can be easily removed with a sharp knife. See pictures below. This make it much easier to change batteries. I use two so I can easily replace when on the go.
