Premium X battery replacement

[R129]

Hi

My trusty premium x only lasts 10 mins or so if not plugged in to charge. I am looking to replace the battery. I’d be very grateful for any advice on (i) where to purchase a new battery (lots of options on the internet, not sure which is best !) and also (ii) how to remove the cover to swap the battery over.

Thanks very much.

Hello
A GPS that is switched on must remain permanently connected to the cigarette lighter socket provided with the GPS.

What battery reference? You must disassemble your GPS and check the reference.

Thanks for the quick reply.

It isn’t clear to me how to disassemble the device. There are no screws that can be seen. Can you advise how to remove the cover so I can get to the battery please ?

Try this video,

normally GPS devices are disassembled in the same way.

Thanks for this.
My tomtom (premium x) does not have any visible screws on its shell. The video shows the first step to be removing 2 tiny screws. My tomtom does not have any screws that are visible.
If someone could please help with accessing the battery I would be very grateful.

Look under the label if there are no screws, the shell is simply clipped, so take something flat to unclip the 2 parts.

Before disassembling your GPS, recharge your GPS with a phone mains charger for 2 hours, then plug your GPS into the cigarette lighter charger and test.
