Hello guys,
My D'lites battery just recently died out. Before I tinker with it. Is it possible to change the battery? If there is, how? I don't want to tear it apart meaning make a mistake and just end up destroyed. Thanks!!!

People have tried.
It's probably easier to buy (a) new one(s). |

They should last a while. My first set broke before the battery ran out.

I got a set recently that is just amazing...there are these plastic discs over the batteries and it just makes it so much easier to activate the dlites..
The only thing is I don't know where to buy more...they are soft TT's and just feel absolutely great. I wish I could buy a few more sets!

Yes, but are those the right type of d'lite (i've had some come that were hard plastic with just a wire loop over the battery for example)

Our local shop carries these. If you need some, let me know. I work there and can get you a couple sets. They are ALOT better that the originals.

Hi denzildon
You can replace the batteries in the new D'lites, however, the material costs are higher then buying a new one. You would need to buy the silicone and the individual batteries which are expensive. PM me if you would like a break down on how to. Hi alym The hard tip D'lites are the older version. The new D'lites are the soft tip. If you need more please PM me and I will get you costs in Canada dollars and shipping information. I usually stock the red, blue, and color changing D'lites. Take care and take cards Antony Gerard |

I have a soft TT d'lite. The hardest part is getting the silicone off the TT. The silicone is sealed to the TT and it's hard to remove. I used a very thin screw driver and kept working the edges of the silicone. Eventually I did finally get it removed but I ended up having to repair the silicone because I did mess it up. I just repaired the messed up silicone with new silicone. But now that I got it out and repaired it, I can insert it back in the TT with a nice fit and the next time I have to remove it, it comes out real easy with a pair of tweezers.

Thank you very much guys!!! I would try to change the battery for now. If it breaks, I'll get a new one for sure. The battery run out after playing with it in front of nephews. Oh, well it was worth it for the smiles in their faces!!!

You've bought the secret, make your own so long as you don't sell it. All the parts are readily available and maybe you'll come up with a design and thump tip that you like better.
