Have a gps speedo,lorvirsi,how do you change the batt,was told the top unscrews but can't get it apart any help would be great thnks

took mine to a Battery plus store last week and they changed it for me...$3.89 out the door...
or Livorsi will exchange your old antenna for the update antenna for $185.00 + shipping

Or, throw the antenna in the garbage and wire it to your GPS.

True

Does the unit come apart or is it sealed some how??

Great topic I just took mine out on Sunday I am pumped to see the replies on this!

Thanks Boatnt I am going to take it in this week I just hope we have on of those stores around us..... I heard they won't even fix the batterys any more at Livorsi

I had problems soldering the batt back in, ended up having a terminal loose and had to send it in.

yes the tabs are welded on the battery,batterys plus has a small welder and they weld the tabs back on.

And weld them on in the correct orientation!

There was a thread on this subject in Technical a while back. One guy said he just super glued a new battery in. I tried that method as it seemed too easy. Didn't work. Soooo, back out it came and went to Batteries Plus for proper repair. If this doesnt work I will wire it to my GPS.

What a PITA design!

there are 3 small indents in the bottom of the antenna i screwed 3 dry wall screws in a thin piece of wood to line up with them then unscrewed the top
