Everything You Need to Restore Your Hayward AquaPod 2.0 to Factory Performance.

Is your pool remote losing its charge before you even get to the spa? Don't spend hundreds of dollars on a whole new remote. The KEEPBATT DIY Battery Replacement Kit is the professional-grade solution designed specifically for the Hayward AQL2-POD2.

Why Choose Our Kit?

Unlike "battery-only" listings, we provide the specialized tools required for this specific repair. The AquaPod 2.0 uses 6 unique Torx screws and heavy-duty internal foam that can be difficult to remove without the right equipment. Our kit includes a custom-fit Torx screwdriver and an adhesive remover tool to ensure a clean, damage-free installation.

Protect Your Investment:

Pool remotes live in a high-humidity environment. When you open your remote, the original desiccant (moisture absorber) is likely spent. We include a new replacement desiccant pouch to ensure your internal chipboard stays dry and functional for years to come.

What’s in the Box?

• 1x 1500mAh Li-Po High-Capacity Battery 

• 1x Specialized Torx Screwdriver (Fits all 6 remote screws)

• 1x Professional Adhesive Remover Tool

• 1x Strip of Genuine 3M Double-Sided Foam Tape

• 1x Replacement Desiccant Pouch with Adhesive Backing
  

How to Revive Your Hayward AquaPod 2.0 in 5 Easy Steps

Step 1: Open the Housing

Use the Special Torx Screwdriver included in your kit to remove the 6 security screws on the back of the remote. Gently separate the front and back covers.

Note: Be careful not to pull the internal wires too hard when opening.

Step 2: Remove the Old Battery & Foam

• Disconnect: Gently unplug the white battery connector from the female receptacle on the circuit board.

• Clear the Residue: The factory battery is held down by strong adhesive. Use the Adhesive Remover Tool from your kit to safely pry up the old battery and scrape away any leftover foam residue without damaging the casing.

Step 3: Moisture Protection Upgrade (Crucial Step!)

• Out with the Old: Remove the old, expired desiccant bag.

• In with the New: Peel the backing off the New Replacement Desiccant Pouch and stick it inside the housing. This protects the sensitive chipboard from humidity and corrosion—a vital step often missed by others!

Step 4: Install the New 1200mAh Battery

• Apply Tape: Attach a strip of the included 3M Double-Sided Foam Tape to the back of your new battery.

• Plug It In: Connect the battery to the receptacle. It is keyed to fit only one way—do not force it.

• Secure: Press the battery firmly into place, ensuring the wires are tucked away and won't be pinched when closing the case.

Step 5: Reassemble & Re-activate

• Seal It Up: Align the covers and tighten the 6 Torx screws.

• The "Wake-Up" Call: IMPORTANT! The remote may not turn on immediately after the swap. Place the unit into the Charging Cradle to initiate the system and "wake up" the new battery.

• Full Charge: We recommend charging the remote for 4–6 hours before its first full use to calibrate the battery meter.
