I'm experimenting with alternative batteries replacement but, have to be careful with these Li-Ion batteries as they can explode when over charge or heated up. The chances are good to find suitable replacement. Wish me luck.... cheers!

Just a follow up on the battery change for my Nuvi 300. I have successfully replace the 300 battery with a Nokia mobile phone Li-Ion battery (BL-5C). The operating time is about 2.5 hrs (>one year old used battery) compared to the 4 hrs from the original. The battery is a 900mA (1250mA original) that fits perfectly into the unit. I'm now testing the safety aspect of the modification by charging and discharging it repeatedly to see if it really work. Once this is confirm good I'll get a new battery to be installed and report back my findings....

This reduces the battery replacement cost tremendously... a little good news during this trying times.... cheers!
