@dsp1971, welcome to the community! Feel free to introduce yourself on the [welcome thread](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/welcome-introduce-yourself-here/145).

I am thrilled that you joined the site! G5 battery replacement appears to be trickier than G4, and it is GREAT to have somewhat of an expert in the community.

What do you find hardest about the battery replacement process in the G5, and how do you deal with it? Do you have any advice for those who might want to have a try at it?
