I was looking for a battery replacement all over the place. Came up with this site that carries parts for the Boom 2:
Why is this set to difficult though? It doesn’t look THAT hard… And will this affect waterproofing of the feature?
Because you do not simply stick the plunger in and pop those tabs. They are a force of evil and I even bent my metal tools to open mine.
It isn't that hard if you've done a couple of repairs, although you gotta work slow and really make sure you got yourself like 3-4 spudger like items (butter knife) and look at reference images where the tabs are. Btw. You don't need to remove more than the bottom plastics and the plate with 4 screws to change the battery. Managed to change my battery while not damaging a single plastic tab
