This is a very practical solution to refurbishing your Nuvi 765T GPS. It comes complete with a screwdriver and lever needed to unscrew and pry the unit open. A double-sided tape would have been a nice add-on but I was able to use the one I peeled off the old battery from inside the GPS. There is also not much room for the battery to room around inside so I wasn't too worried. All in all, it took me 3 minutes to replace the battery.
Highly recommendable to make a low cost battery uplift to your used / battery depleted unit.I live in the Chicago area and leave my unit in the car all year around. Not good for battery life but if I leave it in the house, it will never be with me when I REALLY NEED IT! So my two year old battery would last about 5 minutes. I'm going on a trip this month and wanted to be able to search the area when away from my car. I researched replacement batteries and found the YouTube for the NewPower99. Looked easy enough ... so I gave it a try. I really took my time since I'm not a computer whiz. It took 7 minutes ... turned it on ... and it turned right on. To my surprise, the battery was fully charged. The tools that came with the battery were easy to use and great to have around for when I need to tighten the screw in my glasses. Don't be afraid of this ... just watch the video while you do it and your good to go.I didn't know what I was getting into when I bought this kit with a DVD to tell me how to install a new battery in my Garmin Nuvi 765T. I was very pleasantly surprised to see (by watching the enclosed DVD that ran without a hitch on my computer) that I just had to unscrew two small screws in the back, use the green shimmy tool to GENTLY pry open the case (and this was the hardest part took me probably about 6 minutes, but it wasn't awful...just had to be careful and patient the video made it look a bit easy), disconnect two circuits on the board which came out easily, take out the old battery (again, a little patience required because of the cement-like glue they use to hold it to the back of the Garmin's case), use a piece of double-sided tape which I had in a drawer (didn't come in the kit...sounds like some people get double-sided tape and others don't) to seat the new battery where the old one was and stick it down, then go in reverse!
Having the DVD helped relieve any anxiety about the "procedure" of opening up my GPS. It really was easier than I had expected. The battery showed 4 bars (full) on my Garmin when I booted it back up, which made me smile. :) Charging now for the heck of it and I plan to give it a shot tomorrow since I use my GPS several times a week. Now I can spend the money I saved on maps for life. Thanks, seller, for a GREAT product I'll definitely be back if I need your help again! :D CHEERS!I am not sure whether our Garmin is simply a lemon or whether this product is. It might well be the former but either way we have no functioning GPS. Installation was simple thanks to the accompanying video and our Garmin appeared to kick in with full power when we first charged it up. But, alas, it drained, displayed "Low Battery," and stopped working within 30 minutes just as it had prior to switching out the battery. Very annoying. I would make sure you truly have a battery issue before you purchase this because we obviously can't go back to Garmin now having opened the unit and installed this.After a couple of years use, the original battery on my Garmin 765T would no longer hold a charge and I was getting repeated "low battery" warnings, even after long drives and after charging with the AC adapter. The kit came promptly and included the necessary Torx screwdriver, a plastic shim tool, a tiny Phillips screw driver (not sure why that's included, as it's not needed), a piece of double-sided tape and a brief but very useful instructional DVD. If you follow the instructions, and hold the Garmin as it's being held in the DVD (in the same orientation, and with your fingers in the same position as the instructor's) it all works well and the job can be done in less than 10 minutes even if you are a bit clumsy. At first I held the Garmin in such a way that I was actually preventing the shim from opening the case, by inadvertently applying counter-pressure, but when I held it exactly as it was held on the DVD, the case opened quite easily.
All-in-all, I think this is a fine product, delivering exactly what was promised.
