Magic Trackpad 2 battery running down?

[Jonzjob]

I have had the Trakcpad 2 for about a year now. It's on our mid 2010 PBP 13 running El Capitan. Due to lazy/bad memory/old age (me that is!) we forget to turn it off, but even although that is the case the battery has been lasting for anything up to 3 weeks or a month. A few days ago I had an indication of 'low battery' and plugged it in to recharge. This morning I had an indication of 'battery empty'.

This is quite a sudden change and has anyone any idea if it's indicating a failing battery? If so, is it possible to change the battery?

Hey John, since you have a talent for repairing things, take a look at this ifixit teardown of the Magic Trackpad 2 to replace the battery:

Hi Chas and a very happy new year to you and all the other guys on here!!

I had a gander at that video earlier on and frightened the 'merde' out of myself! It seems that one step away from a chain saw (buzz saw to you lot that side of the pond?) to get it apart?

It's fully charged again now, so I'll see how it goes? Perhaps I screwed up the last charge, PLEASE!!
