Unfortunately, we no longer repair or stock replacement batteries for the Original Sureshotgps, 8800, 8850 or 8850x models. However, aftermarket batteries can be purchased and will work in the 8800/8850. (they all use the same battery)

Replacing the internal battery on a SureshotGPS is an easy task that takes just a few minutes to complete.

1. The first step in replacing the internal battery is removing the three small screws located on the rear of the case.

2. Work your way around the case until the back is fully separated.

3. You’ll notice two cables that connect from the battery to the PCB. Carefully disconnect this cable.

4. Remove the battery strap, the rechargeable battery is held in place with some double-sided sticky tape. Simply pull the battery off the back of the case to remove it.

5. Put the new replacement battery into the back of the case and connect the battery cable to the PSB. With the new battery successfully installed the SureshotGPS is ready to be re-assembled.

Take care that no wires are sticking out of the base of the GPS when re-assembling it.
