Subject: Garmin 305 Battery Replacement
My 4 year old Garmin 305 was becoming nearly unuseable because the battery would not hold a charge for more than an hour.

I called Garmin, and they offered a refurbished 305 for $99, or a $99 credit toward a new model.

I was deciding what to do when I stumbled upon this:

How to replace the battery in a Garmin Forerunner…: http://youtu.be/8vQTHF76B6A

I bought the ipod mini battery and did the replacement, and I now get about 10 hours on a charge.

If you have an older Garmin, you may want to give it a shot...

Hmm, worth a try. My 305 has the same problem, so at worst it will cost me the price of a battery and some time.

Thanks!

Thanks. It's good to know that this worked well for you. I've been putting this off but my battery life is getting really bad so I'm going to have to give it a try soon.
