| Subject: | Garmin 396 Internal Battery |
Pulsar Friends,=0A=0AIt has been over a year that my Garmin 396 would not k
eep time between flights, so I bought the $2.17 lithium rechargeable batter
y from Digi-Key to get this function working properly again.=0A=0AI was a b
it surprised that getting the 396 open, screen, printed circuit boards sepa
rated and getting to the board mounted button cell wasn't all that difficul
t.- Anybody thinking of doing it, I think the only attention to detail th
at is needed is the delicate touch to desoldering to remove the battery, so
ldering the replacement battery and knowing how those board mounted ribbon
cable connectors work (release and lock).=0A=0AIf you got one of these GPSs
, for about $10 (they have to ship the button cell UPS) and around 20 minut
es you can give the unit's internal clock, new life.=0A=0ARonko -
