Garmin GPS128 - Internal Battery

[BobnLesley]

Anyone know the precise model/type of that button battery under the soldered tag? Yes, I know that this information's already been posted on YBW (I remember reading it and making a note, I just don't recall where the notation is.) but I can't find it anywhere.

You need a CR2032 with solder tags fitted.

Lots of different tags available.

Anyone know which one of the choice given in Dipper Too's link?

Looking at it, my guess is the CR2032-LDY2 , but I'd like to be sure.

I have had a Garmin 128 since 2003 & like it a lot. Just out of interest, may I ask how long your original battery has lasted
I am wondering if my one is going to need replacement soon. Once you have had a satisfactory reply to your query I may get a spare battery
thanks

Without looking at the original, I'd probably go for the T24 style. You'll probably need to bend the pins a bit anyway.

My battery lasted about 16 years.
I also have an old Garmin app which can update the date so it stops thinking it's 1999. Not tried it yet though.

The app worked fine on my Garmin 12
