DIY Garmin GPS Internal Battery Replacement

It has been over 10 days since the battery swap out. Went flying over
the past weekend after the GPS sat for nearly a week. The clock was
spot on to the second. The unit acquired in the usual 30 seconds. I
was a bit concerned that the heat required to solder the wires onto
the battery may cause some harm (I used a temperature controlled iron
with a thin pencil tip). I will have to see if the battery hangs in
there. Given the replacement I used was 20 times the size of the
original, maybe it will last longer. Seems the original made it about
2 years.


Good Job Mike! Glad to hear it worked out....
