I had a battery in a Navman that was not charging sufficiently in the car so cured it by fully charging it off the mains.

[TWR]

I'm afraid to say you are wrong there Zac, I bought one off eBay, seller said It was faulty, replaced the Battery, Works Perfect, just waiting for a Battery for a Tomtom Go 500, this is very difficult to do.

[Zacs-Master]

So what's your specific question then?

[TWR]

Would YOU attempt to replace the battery?

[Zacs-Master]

Depends what model and whether I could find some instructions on how to do it.

[Zacs-Master]

Such as this:

[TWR]

It sounds easy by the instructions Zac, doing the job is far more trying as the Location of this Battery needs a lot of patience the right Torx screwdrivers & a very steady hand.

[Zacs-Master]

I'm sure you won't let it beat you TWR.

[TWR]

I'll add to this on Thurs when I insert the battery, the reason for the post, people sell them just because the battery fails, they are cheap to bye, & with patience you can save youself money by doing the job yourself.

[TWR]

Success Zac.
