You can install the replacement battery yourself if you're comfortable with basic repair work and have patience for the resealing process. The installation involves opening the coil housing, disconnecting the old battery, installing the new one with the clamp hardware, and applying the Max Repair sealant to reseal the housing. The mechanical steps are straightforward, but the resealing phase requires careful application of the sealant and adequate cure time before submerging the coil. If you're not confident in your ability to achieve a proper waterproof seal, have the work done by a qualified technician who has experience with XP coil repairs.
