Nice job. Working on small things can be a pain. I had to replace a mic / charging port on my Samsung phone. The hardest part was mini parts / screws, big hands. lol
@@trench01 I've been winding down a bit. UA-cam hides my videos way down in the search results, as a result I have less enthusiasm to produce videos. That said, I'll still be producing videos, but less frequently. Thanks for watching!
Why did you want to swap the protection board? I probably would have left the board in place but swapped the old connector to the new battery (ideally just the housing if the contacts were the same, but most likely move the connector and wires to the new battery's protection board or worst case cut and splice the wires mid-way).
Hello. I have an idea for a new video. I have found an inverter on eBay called "MillerTech EDISON 600W Makita 18V Power Tool Battery Inverter". It is an interesting concept for someone who does not have extra 12v lead acid/LiFe batteries around, but has some power tools batteries. 600w with pure sine wave seems to be enough to power a fridge or a freezer in case of an outage. I would be personally interested in detailed inverter review.
You do understand who owns Garmin products right? People that own airplanes and boats. They like to show off all those expensive homes, automobiles, boats, RVs, airplanes, jewelry, etc. But ask them to spend a little money fixing their Heat Pump or GPS and you’d think it was the end of the world.
@@USA-GreedyMenOfNoIntegrity Yes, Garmin does make high end products, but that doesn't mean you take advantage of your customers and rip them off when they need to replace a battery that would only take 15 minutes to replace if you have the exact replacement on hand. Thanks for watching
@@electronicsNmore Garmin CEO net worth $51M. He didn’t get there by charging $50 hourly rate. As long as Americans keep buying their high dollar outsourced junk. The suits are going to keep buying their corporate jets to take on family vacations. We all have the money for what we want to spend it on. Not everybody has electronics skills. Most will go buy a new one, just like their cell phone every two or three years. Isn’t it great to be handy.

You are the MAN! Great video, I will keep it handy in case my Garmin In-reach battery goes bad, I'm sure it's very similar.
I had a 64st handheld once. My phone w/offline maps connects quicker and is more reliable + it has better battery life.
Great job!
That was a spicy pillow!
a shame you dont make much videos as you use to but you got to do what u got to do.

Check the charger as well. Im sure you knew that, just a reminder.
👍👍

@@Sylvan_dB 3 wire vs 2. Old board had temp sensor, and you never know, they could've designed it to only work using their battery.
Garmin sucks they don't stand by their lifetime update policy.
