Re: Garmin spares ...

Someone on pdastreet.com mentioned:

"It looks as if your best bet at this time is the Zire 71 battery.
someone has tried it and it works. But you have to remove the plug from
the old iQue battery and solder it onto the new battery.

Another option may be the Mitac Mio 168 battery, which also has a
bigger capacity. I am going to test it if you want to wait for a week
or two. But it is less certain that this will work."
