Is there a way you can change the Omnipod PDM batteries without having to change your pod?

I remember being told how to but it was years ago and I don’t remember what it was.

Just pop the batteries out and change it. If it’s forcing you to change the pod when you change batteries, that means your PDM has a bad internal battery and Insulet will send you a new PDM at no cost.

I’m a 13 year omnipod user and the only time mine deactivated my pod when changing batteries, I called and got a replacement.

I have this same problem. I’ve been using omnipod for over 2 years and I never had this problem til like a couple of months ago. If I need to change the battery and the pod I make sure to do the battery first then it’ll deactivate my pod.
