MPF Products1250mAh ED38BD4251U20 Battery Replacement Compatible with Garmin Nuvi 1400, 1450, 1450T, 1490, 1490LMT, 1490T, 1490T Pro GPS Navigation Units

I have an aging Garmin Nuvi 1450 that stopped working due to battery failure. I discovered this when I tried to do an update to a new version of maps. Even though it was plugged into my computer, it wouldn't turn on.Since I have unlimited map updates from Garmin at no extra charge, I wanted to get this navigator operational again. That's why I got this battery.First, I watched the Internet videos that shows the process of replacing the battery with this one. Since this can be a risky process, I only recommend it if your device would otherwise be thrown out. In that case you have nothing to lose other than the minimal cost of this battery.I followed the replacement process and it worked. I am very happy about this. The battery even showed a full charge on startup. The tools that came with the battery are of minimal quality so I used my own T5 driver, plastic pry bars and guitar pick.After the battery installation, I updated the navigator to the newest version of maps and software. The update worked flawlessly.If you have a navigator that has a dead battery and is out of warranty, I highly recommend this replacement battery if it fits your device. It breathed new life into my Nuvi 1450.

Battery came promptly and fit perfectly. The issue is, like other reviewers stated, the plastic installment tools are cheap and break before I even got the GPS cover off.

Title says it all ;-) All you need do is follow the directions or look up how-to on You-Tube ;-)

Tools supplied with product not sufficient to replace battery. Plastic tool inadequate. Screw diver stripped screws. Could not replace battery.

Batteries came 1 full charged 1 3/4 charged..as others have stated the plastic tools are kind of weak. I found that inserting a small knife blade first to separate a small opening then insert the plastic tool and slide it around the edges seemed to work pretty good but you really can't pry with the tools. Be prepared to pry the old battery out as it is stuck very good with some kind of "nuclear" tape.. Don't use the outer edge of your case for leverage to pry on the battery as you will probably deform or break the edge of you GPS case . The one issue i wasn't completely happy with was the plugs. They didn't snap into position and one of them was quite loose I guess time will tell if they will stay in. Shipping was quick and packaging was good. Would buy again if needed.

Battery and accompanying tools arrived promptly. Prying tools were rather anemic and as a result, used my own flat head screwdriver for prying. Installed new battery, and Garmin did not respond. Reinstalled old battery and Garmin did activate with "Low Battery" warning. Obviously, replacement battery is defective. Also, battery leads from new battery are located on the opposite side from what was installed on the old battery. Will need to contact Amazon for replacement under warrantee.

The right battery but original was held in place with glue and was a pain to get out. I cleaned up and used double sided sticky tape. Opening case was a trick also as tools were plastic and I ended up using a home-made tool. It works - that what counts. If your not mechanically minded - have some do it that can so you don't get frustrated.

Garmin is up and running again. It is nice finding a replacement and being able to do this myself. Exactly as described.
