Do you know where we can find replacement batteries that fit?
Also looking for a replacement. Have a failing pack that has bulged the case. Currently talking with support. G713140AJ does not seem to be sold anywhere.
So far it appears the battery was made specifically for FLIR. Their Tech support says they do not recognize the battery as a user replaceable item and recommends the unit be sent in for repair. Hopefully as time goes and more of these units fail the battery vendors on ebay and other places might begin to carry them. Until then this camera will be an expensive paper weight as it will not setup with its internal battery unplugged.
Interesting note, I took an xacto knife and carefully relieved the bulge in the battery. Some liquid came out and the battery went back to its normal size. I did plug it back in and believe it or not it actually worked. I dont trust it though as lithium Ion batteries have a tendency to catch on fire, I can just imagine what would happen to one that has been compromised.
I spent a number of weeks trying to locate this battery including emailing battery vendors that import into the US. I finally got frustrated and contacted FLIR. I spent an additional week with emails going back and forth, FLIR will not sell you the battery for this camera. You can send it in for repair (which is really not cost effective) and they will send you a replacement refurb. One other interesting fact is that FLIR is closing out this camera, it has been replaced with the FLIR Secure HD. Somehow I would bet they aren’t using the same battery, lol
It is very disappointing that Flir is not selling replacement batteries. I have multiple FX cameras with bulging batteries and they will not go into direct connect mode anymore to allow me to change the WiFi password. The new models do not have batteries and they cost more than the previous model. They have HDR support and 16 GB SD cards, but are less versatile since they are strictly indoor security cameras. Flir is still selling the old models. The warranty is only a year long and the battery started swelling shortly afterwards. I use to recommend the FlirFX cameras, but not anymore. There are other brands that cost less and have the same features with the exception of the RapidRecap, but there is very limited access to that feature with the free plan.
