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 did not buy a new HRM strap either. I use the one from another Garmin watch and it works just fine.

My experience was such that the heart rate monitor failed regardless of the fixes I tried to apply - shaving, changing the battery, wetting, deleting and re-installing the app (I used Adidas miCoach and MotionX-GPS and the failures were consistent on both). Jarv was great and gave me a full refund on both units I tried. I also had this problem with the Adidas miCoach HRM with the dongle. I'm wondering if this is a "me" thing or if it is endemic to monitors in this price point. I read plenty of reviews from people who say they work just fine for them.

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.

I just spoke with omron on the phone and it does not. Too bad. Does anybody know of a unit where you can replace the batteries and it tracks calories? (it would also be cool if it showed min, max, and average heart rate for workout, but lets not get greedy). Dave JacksonLogical Weight Loss Podcast

Yes! I own the 305 with HR monitor strap, and bought the 405 without the strap. The 405 immediately recognized my existing 305 HR strap monitor with no special actions.

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...

My 305 has shut down yesterday and now will not turn on. I have tried just about every reset combination refernced here and othe rplaces to no avail. I guess I should wait a couple days for the battery to discharge. I don't understand this. My unit does power up if I connect it to my computer via the USB port. Has anyone with the power up issue seen this?

It seems to me that the battery can be replaced. I wouldn't do it myself, though. At any rate, the instructions do not mention replacing the battery. About cadence, there is no cadence sensor. This is a very spartan, but functional, gps watch. If you want the frills, buy a Garmin. But if you are content with tracking yourself (mileage + pace), this is a great little tool for you. A Garmin costs $300, this is approx. $70.

I've owned my UL30A-X5 since the beginning of 2011 (original owner) and the battery is suddenly now failing (I am getting a message on my power meter "Consider replacing your battery"). A) I'm surprised that I've owned this computer for 15 months and the battery is now failing B) The reviews for the replacement battery ASUS sells indicate those batteries are not sold at full capacity (note, not full charge, but full capacity)Please comment and advise.Thank you,JK

I've heard that motionbased.com adjusts the elevation readings now to reflect more accurate elevations. I don't own one yet, but am looking to buying one and have heard this from a few friends who own the 305. This, from what I understand, is the 305's biggest weakness! However, I still want one above any other of its kind...

Here is a question you may know the answer to. I have been looking for a phone number for Garmin. We don't know who makes it, how to get a extended warranty, or if there even is a warranty. How good can a product be if the manufacturer won't even speak to us about their product. Whose pockets are we filling anyway? Will they, whoever they are back up their product?? Help, anyone! We bought 4 of these as gifts. Thanks. Dismayed!!!!

I've only used the battery that came with the computer and it has lasted almost a year! In fact, I just changed it out this past weekend! You can't really gauge how long the battery lasts with the one that comes with it, because you don't know how long it's been sitting! I'd say will heavy use, you should get at least a full year! It takes a CR2032 watch type battery! Just make sure that you write down your odometer number BEFORE you change the battery, or you will lose it!

i have it over 5yrs still works. i had to replace the watch battery. PITA to replace the watch battery but the voltage was too low and not reading the HR. the watch and the strap are 2 different batteries.(2025 & 2032) easy batteries to find at local pharm chain store. i replaced both at the same time and all good.

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.

I have a Timex Ironman (Trashman would be a better moniker for this $90 disappointment!) that has NEVER given me reliable performance and has basically just quit after 17 months of unreliable service. I'm reading enough negative reviews on the Polar F11, which had otherwise sounded promising, to dismiss risking money on that product as well! While I have little or no use for GPS, the Garmin 305 is starting to sound to me like the accurate, reliable heart rate monitor I'm looking for based on further reading!
