Your sub-par tools broke when following the directions exactly. Last time I'll be purchasing any of your items, and Ill be disputing the charges on my card for this kit.

Thanks.

But before I get going, which model or type of battery do I need. Garmin does not seem to sell them separately as far as I can see.

Instructions very lacking. To replace the battery go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcoZC2Fk.... Much, much better instructions.
