It takes a standard CR 2032 watch battery. You should be able to pick some up at any drugstore or big box retailer (or Amazon).

Any one know where to find a replacement cap (not the battery, but the plastic cap) on the back of the heart monitor for the Garmin Forerunner 305? Tried Garmin Customer support and some local shops with no luck. and

I have this same thermometer, and I think my battery is dead, i was able to open the compartment and take it out, it says it's a GP392 battery which costs about $4. might just buy another thermometer just in case it wasn't the battery that died.

Wow, that's a new one! I have purchased and installed half a dozen non-OEM batteries over the past 5 years, and never had a problem with rejection by the hardware. Call the computer manufacturer, and if they admit to this foolishness, please post it here, because I NEVER want to own that brand!

The strap. You pay more for the soft strap. The monitor/sensor is the same. Good luck after you replace the HRM battery.

Since I don't have a big yard, I have no complains like those other users, except that I cannot find a battery replacement, and I need one now. I checked at Sears but no one knows. I search all over the Internet but no result. I even wrote to American Gardener Co. but got no reply. If we cannot find a battery replacement I suggest DO NOT BUY this item. You'll just add garbage to the landfill in a couple of years. HOW COME NOT ONE REVIEW MENTIONED ABOUT BATTERY REPLACEMENT, AND WHERE TO BUY IT? AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE?

You need to make sure it is sync'd to your Garmin device. Look at the instruction manual (also available online) for how to sync the heart rate monitor to your device. If that doesn't work, replace the battery and try again.

According the manual p43:"The non-user-replaceable battery of the heart rate monitor has to be changed by a specialist or by Beurer customer service. Improper replacement will damage the unit and void the user warranty."You can however, change the battery in the chest strap on your own. The chest strap battery is accessible with a coin.

I have the same issue w/ my 305....not sure what is going on but I think I will break down and buy a new one since I need it to be reliable for marathon training.

I bought my backup battery on Duracelldirect.com. I have NEVER had a problem with it, nor can I tell any difference from my NIKON battery. It was priced right and it had a warranty. Completely satisfied.

The unit has a battery, as does the speed and cadence sensors and heart rate strap. They'll need to be replaced yearly, which is no big deal. I'd actually rather that than worrying if it needs recharging all the time. And, the unit will let you know when the battery is getting low. After 6 months, mine is still going strong on original battery.

I have the same problem. My battery lasted a year and now it is useless. I'm not real thrilled about it as I can also no longer find a battery replacement. I'd get a WORX GT unit but the reviews are all over the board on them as well. I'm thinking the Sears Craftsman C3 19.2 Volt model may be the way to go - it has a replaceable battery.

just bought a ZS1 and wanted a second battery, no one had them in stock. Bummer. Just got a note from Vanns that they have them in stock again for $49.99 with free shipping.

I would like to know if you can buy a replacment battery that has 4 hrs. run time.The computer sounds great except for the 2 hr. 25 min. battery time.Why such a good comp. with such a whimppy battery?

I don't think that it's a consumer replaceable battery. You must place it on the charger when it runs low. I'm thinking that when the battery no loner works then you must send it to Garmin.

I found one on Amazon..but that wasnt my problem..it was the part that plugs into the wall then into my computer...It made it look like it was my battery but acutally after replacing that part with a Dell (other types didnt work) everything worked fine....but about two months later my batter did in fact end up dying...couldnt find one on Amazon that was right voltage..just like you...went to a computer repair shop and they finally found one on line for 15 bucks and it work great ..good luck finding what you need...

I wish I had the answer, but I had my son set it up and change the time for me when necessary. I never had to change the battery before I lost and still not sure how and when as it hardly ever fell off and suddenly one day I saw it gone and it was nowhere to be found in my house so assume it happened when I was outside for a short while. I have not replaced it as I use an app, and did buy a heart rate monitor which I have never used as it came with a chest strap and I did not want one, and it is too much trouble to put on and complicated to use. I am still on the lookout for something simple and this one did just what I needed.
