Dexcom-G6-Mag-Recharge-

Rechargeable Dexcom board and steps

WARNING!!!!.

This is a DIY project that you will attach a LIPO battery to your body, This comes with risks and as such if you decide to build one for yourself you are doing so at your own risk and I will not be held responsible for any and all injuries or damages to you or your Transmitters.

Ok with that out of the way I have several test users that have had great success using their devices and figured it's time to share. There are a lot of teardown video's out there for removing the battery from your Dexcom device so please look around. There are a few differences in my design in the fact that we will be opening up the rear of the device and creating space for the battery. This will require patients, skill, and a bit of luck.

Parts Required:

• PCB (Link)
• 3.7V 30mAh lipo (Part Number 301012)
• MCP73831T-2 SOT23
• 2x - 10uf 0402
• Green LED 0402
• Red LED 0402
• 2x - 470k Resistor 0402
• 10k Resistor 0402
• BAT54SLT1G SOT-23
• Magnetic Connector (8MM)

Resources:

I will update this as I have time to include where you can get cables and parts, But for now the parts can be sourced on ebay,digikey,mouser and i'm sure other locations. I'll also attempt to build a wiki for this project but that will come with intrest and time.

Helpful Tools:

• Reflow station or Reflow Oven
• My reflow station was cheap (858D+ 220V Hot Air Soldering ReWork Station)

A Stencil for the pcb!!, not required but super useful!

I ordered mine with the pcb from Jlcpcb.com

• A Digital Microscope. Mine was also cheap (Andonstar ADSM302)

• Soldering Iron for the wires, Magnetic connector and attaching the battery. Mine is a simple TS100 iron.
