 |
|
After 3 years the battery in my GO300 had finally had it. Looked on web found good price and ordered it, duly delivered today complete with security bit screwdrivers. That was the easy bit - what a faff to install, you have to quite literally take the whole dam thing to bits and peeling back the tin foil without tearing it is nigh impossible. Anyway I did manage to change it without breaking anything but I can tell you it was more my luck than management. Next time it goes I think it will be time to upgrade.  |

| Given the lack of replies do I take it no one but me has had a struggle changing one of these batteries, or has no one had a GO battery fail yet? |

I can't recall many users reporting the need to change the battery.
On a personal level the Classic GO, that has now passed to another, is still working fine everyday.

Well my TT1v2 battery life seems to have declined a lot, and I was thinking of replacing it.

You needn’t have bothered, just cut it all off, the unit does not need it anyway. |
