Thank you safauoc! I am going to look into the matter of replacing the battery on the now discontinued and very expensive Plantronics 590a.
It came as a very big disappointment to learn that this headset is not compliant with Bluetooth V2.0 and the Blutooth Handsfree Profile. To get it to work with Skype, I had to purchase the Plantronics BUA-100 dongle - which was also very very expensive.
I do not think that Plantronics has managed this device's roll-out in a competant manner.
With all the folks offering batteries for the Pulsar 590, you'd think someone had figured out and shared how to replace it, once you've purchased one!
I disassembled the literally molded plantronics 590 headset after it stopped charging after 19 years. There doesnt seem to be any battery but i guess just condensers? Any way i could disassemble and rescue the female socket minus the wires from the end of the charging port with major reconstructive surgery. Now i intend to fit it inside the head phone if space allows. Otherwise outside at the cost of aesthetics to recover a $ 120 in 2005 headset. Small sacrifice i think when you have expensive headphones.
Sorry read fourteen years of plantronics 590 ownership. Not 19.

Start with the headset powered on. Press and hold down
the call control button while also rotating the multi function dial
upward (away from the light) until the indicator light on the headset
starts flashing red then green. When prompted for passkey, enter
0000.
For the Plantronics M1000 (discontinued):
Hit and hold the volume/mute switch in until the indication light starts blinking.
For the Plantronics M1500 & A500 adapter
(discontinued): Turn the headset on and the adapter off. On the headset
push in and hold the mute/volume dial until the indicator light begins
to flash. On the adapter press and hold the blue power button for 10
seconds. The light on the adapter will flash once after 3 seconds-
continue to hold the power button for another-7 seconds until the
light flashes red. If the pairing is successful, the headset will
sound a tone and both the headset and adapter lights will turn off.
For both the Plantronics M1000/M1500 (discontinued):
If you remove the battery cover from the headset and then remove the
battery itself. On the Green PC board itself there will be a letter
followed by 4 numbers. These 4 numbers are your personal PIN code.
