But, at this point, who knows? It took a while for it to charge up. It was designed to work with the Garmin nuvi 40. Hopefully, it will last for a long time. br>Note: This isn't a simple installation if you don't have the proper Torx bit screwdriver. To make it work, I used a jeweler's screwdriver with a flat blade and did some light grinding. If your Garmin is like mine, the plastic is brittle, so take care prying it apart; it cracks easily. Once you've removed the old battery, try to save the double-sided tape that was holding it in place, as the new battery will not come with any. It started with a knife under one corner, and then it was just a matter of patience as it worked its way free of the old battery.
This installation necessitates the use of specialized equipment. It's just a battery. Get this battery if you already have the tools and have a lot of experience with electronics and mechanics. Other vendors sell a kit that includes the battery and the tools needed to open the unit, which requires a special tool and a wedge. The customer service is excellent; when the first battery was lost by the Post Office, they promptly replaced it. The vendor is trustworthy.
However, there is no Date Code. So far, the battery has served me well. It quickly charged and stayed charged all night. There is no date code on the battery, so it's a guessing game as to how long it's been on the shelf and how long it'll last. A date code would instill some confidence, unless they don't want you to know it's been sitting around like a puppy dog in a shelter, waiting for a poor old soul to buy it. I'm not sure what happened to it. The only way to find out is to wait. If there's any bad news, I'll let you know, but for now, assume everything is fine.
I bought this battery and put it in my Garmin Nuvi 52. For the past three weeks, the new battery has been in use. The battery was slightly bigger than the original, implying that it had a higher capacity. It fit perfectly in the case and required no additional effort to secure. This battery, on the other hand, will not hold a charge as well as the original. I could store my Nuvi 52 for a month and pull it out to find a 90% charge from being stored with a 100% charge. Within 2 weeks, the replacement will fall to 60% after being stored with 100% charge. Short-term use without a power source has yet to be tested, and the procedure for replacing a battery is delicate, and I believe that splitting the case and moving the ribbon cable around increases the risk of ribbon cable failure. I'll probably have to replace this battery in a year, and I don't want to split the case again. Will keep looking for a replacement battery because this one is 50% better than the 3 year old battery I took out. It's difficult to say how long this battery will keep the Nuvi running, but mine worked better at two years than this one does brand new.
To remove the screws, you'll need a Torx 5 bit, and then I used a to open the case. Between the two halves, a 98 cent plastic putty knife from Home Depot slid in. Because the new battery is larger and has a higher capacity than the old one, you'll need to remove a small piece of plastic from the battery's wire exit. A pair of needle-nose pliers came in handy. So far, everything has gone smoothly!.
Separating the case halves and peeling the original battery from the double-sided tape takes a little time and effort. a piece of sticky tape Before you begin, look for videos on YouTube that will serve as a tutorial.
Was exactly what I needed to replace a faulty battery in a Garmin 50LM for a customer. The setup is straightforward, but there are a few tricky elements to be aware of. br>br>A 5 Torx bit is required to disassemble the unit, which not everyone has. br>Be aware that the OEM battery is held in place by some VERY strong double-sided tape, so proceed with caution and patience when removing it.
Beyond that, it works perfectly, charges exactly like an OEM battery, and I'd 100% recommend it.
