I realized I wrote weeks - the transmitter is good for 3 months and gets flaky in the last couple weeks.

I found some pictures of someone replacing the battery on the transmitter of a G6. This is.... not really practical. [1]

What would be interesting is if you could pull out the internals and 3D print a new enclosure that had an actual user serviceable battery.

The transmitter has a counter inside and will stop working after a certain day count. xDrip has a feature where one can reset the counter back to zero and I've been using them at least six months with no trouble.

Without changing the battery? Are you using G5 or G6?
