Richard,
It is not very difficult to DIY the battery. I did Bob Harrison's Skymap 3C
for him with no great drama. The battery is a Saft 3.6V Lithium one with
axial wires - it is soldered in. Bob got 2 of the batteries from RS ( see

<http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduc
t&R=4364796#header> &R=4364796#header ). The procedure is in the attached
documents.
If you are not comfortable doing the job, send it to me with a battery, and
I will change it for you.
Regards,
Mike.

Subject: Europa-List: Skymap 111C battery
My Skymap 111C is telling me that it needs a new battery. I have done an
internet search and discovered that it is possible to DIY. Anyone done this
and if so which battery and what is the procedure?
