230mAh 361-00097-00, 361-00098-00 Battery Replacement Compatible with Garmin Fenix 5 and Fenix 5X Multisport GPS Smartwatch

One YouTube video that last approximately five minutes, two clips that are durable and only mildly challenging to unclip and re-clip, I now have a running Fenix 5. This is far cheaper than any Apple Watch I was thinking about replacing it with and certainly cheaper than upgrading to a new Fenix. Placed back on the charger and it is charging slowly like it used to. I will update my review if I should sense the watch overheating or if anything malfunctions but for less than $20, I would encourage you to get out of your comfort zone and see if you can’t replace it yourself! I will tell you that a small hooked tweezers towards the edge made this much easier to replace!

Liked the tool set that came with battery. Over time had to keep charging at shorter and shorter intervals until is stopped charging completely. Didn’t notice in the description when I purchased that battery is lithium polymer not lithium.

My 3 year old watch battery finally died. I discovered Garmin wants no part in selling replacements and wants to sell you a new watch. I googled online and people have step by step how to videos. I wouldn’t recommend for beginners. Very delicate to replace but not too bad. I went in through the back of the watch. The hardest parts is removing the d battery. Charged it and lasts 7 days with tracking my daily workouts. If didn’t track them it would last 10 days. I did notice after you charge to 100% battery drop to like 85 percent in a few hours. Since I saved $500 bucks on a new watch really don’t care. If I get a year out of battery will just replace again

I just used this to replace my 6yo Garmin fenix 5 battery. It works. Please note that the original battery part no. 361-0097 that I removed is rated 255mAh. So this battery at 230mAh has less capacity. After charging to 99 percent it immediately dropped to 85 percent, which may reflect this differing capacity, but is now holding the remaining charge well.

I ordered the wrong battery, I thought the watch was a Fenix 5 but it's actually a Fenix 3 that takes a 290 mAh battery. This one is smaller and it physically fits fine but it starts dropping battery percentage very quickly in the larger watch. The battery is assembled well, the connector fits perfectly and the included tools work great on the micro Torx screws. Overall a great kit.

Battery is not the same thickness as the originalHad to add tape to it

Battery did not charge fully on first try. Had nothing to do with the battery. I needed to clean my charge points with rubbing alcohol. Worked like a charm!

My Garmin Fenix 5x went dead and would not charge. If I kept it plugged in, it would turn on, but the battery charge indicator would jump all over the place. 100%, 60%, back to 100%, down to 57%...just all over the place. As soon as I would unplug, it would go dead again.I figured it was the battery gone bad.After a few YouTube videos on how to access battery and replace...I figured I would give it a shot.This was the only battery that Amazon had that was listed under Prime and not 2-3 weeks out for delivery. Crossed my fingers and ordered.Package arrived and I went to work.Installing the new battery was a breeze. The battery comes with the correct sized screw drivers to remove the exterior and interior screws you will need to remove to access the battery. I do recommend buying a set of anti-static tweezers to make removing the pin connections on the internal board super easy...trust me, your fingers are not going to work for this part...New battery in and connections back in place...time for the moment of truth. Either this works or I'm out 12 bucks and it's time to start looking for a new watch for 200+ bucks...Eureka! I press and hold the power button and the watch comes to life with 53% battery holding strong.The one downside is this replacement battery is 230mAh...compared to the 400mAh battery that came stock in the Garmin Fenix 5x. Not sure how this will affect the watch as far as time between charges and drain from GPS function. Time will tell...Bottom line...this battery works in Garmin Fenix 5x. So if you need to replace the stock battery to prolong the life of yours, it's a win...especially for 12 bucks.
