Got my GPS back from Hema, (
well past warranty) they reflashed it and provided a new charge lead but did not replace the battery. It holds no charge at all, only ever held a few minuites when new.
Since the GPS is next to useless anyway I decided to open it up and have a crack at replacing battery myself. Nothing with that part number came up on google so I bought a TomTom v2 v3 1200mah replacment battery, $10.99 from ebay. Orig bat was 1700mah and larger in dimension.
The tom tom plug dosent fit so cut & soldered color for color of the 3 battery wires & voila - works better than new. Holds charge over an hour !!
