Compatibility
This AOLIKES 3.7V 3000mAh Lithium Polymer Replacement Battery (Model: ST3004-3000, Scn-024) is compatible with the following Simplehuman mirror models:
- Simplehuman ST3004 Vanity Mirror
- Simplehuman ST3010 Sensor Mirror (5" Sensor Makeup Mirror, 10x Magnification)
Setup and Installation
Replacing the battery in your Simplehuman mirror requires careful attention due to the mirror's construction. The mirror glass is typically secured with double-sided adhesive. Please follow these steps:
- Preparation: Ensure the mirror is turned off and disconnected from any power source. Gather necessary tools: a hairdryer, a thin prying tool (e.g., a small flathead screwdriver or a spoon handle), and a small Phillips head screwdriver.
- Heating the Adhesive: The mirror is attached to the product with strong double-sided adhesive. Use a hairdryer to gently heat the glass mirror surface. Concentrate the heat on one section at a time, moving the hairdryer continuously to avoid overheating any single spot. Do not use a heat gun, as it can generate excessive heat and potentially damage the mirror or surrounding components.
- Prying the Mirror: As a small area of the adhesive softens and the mirror begins to lift, carefully insert a thin prying tool (like a small flathead screwdriver or a spoon handle) under the edge to gently separate the mirror from the base. Work slowly and patiently around the entire circumference of the mirror, applying heat and prying incrementally. If you lift a section, place a small wedge or keep the prying tool in place to prevent it from re-adhering.
- Accessing the Battery Compartment: Once the mirror glass is removed, you will gain access to the internal components, including the battery compartment. There may be several small screws securing the internal cover or circuit board. Carefully remove these screws and keep them in a safe place to avoid loss.

Locate the existing battery. The AOLIKES replacement battery features the correct connector for a plug-and-play installation. Carefully disconnect the old battery and connect the new AOLIKES 3.7V 3000mAh battery. Ensure the connector is securely seated. - Reassembly: Once the new battery is connected, carefully place it into its compartment. Reattach any internal covers or circuit boards using the small screws you removed earlier. Finally, align the mirror glass and press it firmly back into place, ensuring the adhesive creates a secure bond.
Operating the Mirror (Post-Installation)
After successful battery replacement, your Simplehuman mirror should function as expected. The new 3000mAh battery offers a higher capacity than the original 2000mAh battery, potentially providing longer operation time between charges.
- Initial Charge: It is recommended to fully charge the mirror after installing the new battery to calibrate its power management system.
- Normal Operation: Use your Simplehuman mirror as you normally would. The sensor and lighting functions will be powered by the new battery.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your replacement battery and mirror:
- Regular Charging: Charge the mirror regularly to prevent deep discharge, which can reduce battery lifespan.
- Storage: If storing the mirror for an extended period, ensure the battery is charged to approximately 50-70% and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing a fully discharged or fully charged battery for long periods.
- Cleaning: Clean the mirror and its base according to Simplehuman's recommendations. Avoid getting liquids near the battery compartment.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mirror does not turn on after battery replacement. | Battery not properly connected; battery not charged; mirror internal issue. | Check battery connection. Charge the mirror for several hours. If issues persist, re-open and inspect internal wiring or contact Simplehuman support for mirror-specific issues. |
| Battery life is shorter than expected. | Battery not fully charged; high usage; aging battery. | Ensure the mirror is fully charged. Reduce continuous usage if possible. If the battery is old, consider replacement. |
| Mirror light flickers or is dim. | Low battery charge; loose connection. | Charge the mirror. Check battery connection. |
