Part numbers & guides

Pebble Time Round

Moderate

LSSP301618AE

58 mAh · 3.8 V

Tiny springs under the bezel — don't lose them. Outer ring adhesive is one-shot; many folks say Round repairs are high-risk for the battery size you get back.

Pebble Time Steel

Hard (soldering)

LSSP551923AE

250 mAh · 3.8 V

Prefer 3.8 V cells so capacity % reads correctly. Display is bonded — don't separate glass from LCD. Site PDFs cover Steel teardowns too.

Pebble Time / OG / 2

Moderate–Hard

Community equivalents

Varies by shell

Watch our embedded DIY video. Measure the old pack; swollen batteries are common on decade-old watches.
