My PartnerMic died sometime ago and I was able to get a refund from Extended Warranty.
I did a “destructive” disassembly today to see if I could learn anything. The black cover seems to just be snapped in place in that other than damaging my original pry point it came out pretty intact. That exposes the circuit board. It’s held in place by two very small (Torx or something like that) screws. The battery is underneath that. It’s a Model IP461834 250mAh 3.7 volt battery and would appear to be replaceable if one were patient and could get a replacement. (Note: Phonak does not consider them replaceable)

Sorry, it’s in the trash. There’s really not much to it. There’s a black plastic top that snaps out. With proper tools one might be able to not do any damage, but it’s pretty soft plastic. Then circuit board attached by the two small screws and battery under that.

Those look like they would have done the trick. I still wouldn’t have been able to repair as I think it was something in the switch attached to the IC. It basically wouldn’t let me turn it off. I do think somebody with those tools, some patience could replace the battery of a PartnerMic.
