Step 2

  • Use a spudger tool to disengage the power ribbon from the main board. Once the ribbon is disconnected you can separate the bottom piece of the housing that holds the battery.

Step 3

  • Use the spudger tool again and wedge it in between the battery and the housing, pry until the battery starts to separate from the adhesive holding it in place. Once you have the battery disconnected you are ready to replace it.
  • Despite the fact that the metal spudger is shown being used in this step, make sure to use a plastic opening tool or nylon spudger to pry up the battery. The metal spudger has a much larger chance of puncturing the battery, and thus should not be used.

Look for: RouteJD Inc PD3032 3.7V 200mAh - I found one on Ebay

Are you certain that’s the proper battery? Garmin’s website says the Fenix 2 has a 500mAh capacity.

After some research on eBay the correct battery size should be PD3555 3.7V which is 500mAh.
