Thanks for the guide - can you advise what what type/model/of replacement battery is required and whether they are readily available?

I need to know as well. What kind of battery is it? PD…????

Just look at the last picture. PD2430C1

Well, is that really a photo of a Forerunner25? There is no identification of the watch in the photo. Also, the markings on the battery are faded. Does anyone have more info on this?

Stephen Miller -

That’s not the forerunner25. The correct battery for forerunner25 is PD2032C1

La bateria del Forerunner 25 grande (rojo o azul) es PD2430C1, exactamente la misma que en el Edge 20/25

I just replaced the battery in my Forerunner 25. It was as easy as described in the above instructions. I bought the special screwdriver and pry tool from Ifixit, and bought the exact battery that was listed in the picture (While some other batteries are interchangeable, the original battery has a greater capacity). I bought the battery from another vendor and paid about $20 for it so if Ifixit sells the battery, I would buy it from them to save on shipping. The replacement took about 5 minutes, and after the initial charge, I have run over 16 miles without recharging, and it is still showing that I have about an 80% charge. Before replacement I couldn't complete 8 miles on a full charge without getting a low battery warning. When I called Garmin support about a year ago to find out if they would replace the battery, they said no, that I should buy a new watch. I am ecstatic that I didn't take their advice. My recommendation: Buy the two tools from Ifixit and the battery, either from them or someone else.
