One XL (Classic) Battery change

[mikealder]

This is probably one of the easiest TomTom devices to swap out the battery as there are no ribbon cables to disconnect and the battery is easy to get at without having to strip down the device in to every last little component.

If you don't know how to handle taking electronics to bits please leave this well alone as you could damage your device.

Lay the unit screen side down and remove the four Torx size 8 screws



Use your thumb nails to pry apart the two halves of the case



Separate the two halves take care as there are still the wires between the two parts holding it together



Disconnect the speaker plug and the battery plug so the two halves can be separated.



The battery is held in place with a small amount of glue, use nothing more than finger pressure to ease the battery away from the rear portion of the case.



The Battery is made by Maxell part number 553450ARX/S with a capacity of 1100mAh

Re assembly is the reverse of taking it to bits - Mike
