Koji,
Thanks. I'd like to know how to replace the battery. I think I saw somewhere it works with the same type of battery as is in the Nokia 6600 but that this battery can be a fraction too big. (Am I thinking of someother equipment, or is this correct?)
Anyway, I would very much like to know how to change the battery because sooner or later I will need to do so. As my receiver was second-hand last year, I expect to havef to replace the battery fairly soon, hence some of the thinking behind my original question.. 

Thanks for any further information anyone can give me on this.

Carol,
Great that it worked for you.  When I received my GPS about a month ago, I
remember reading that the battery used in the receiver is the kind that is
often used in cellphones.  So we can buy it anywhere I suppose.    When I
got mine, the battery was not installed so I had to do it myself.  It was
easy though.  If you need step by step instruction of how to replace the
battery when you come to that point, let me know, I can dig out the
odocumentation for you.

Thanks, Chris. I now have managed to get in but it took rather longer than 
usual to acquire my position.  Due to a problem recently with my PK, I had
to pair from scratch after re-installing software, so that maybe accounts
for the delay.  I just didn't expect to wait so long.

Hi Carol,
You can do a test to see if it's the battery or not.
1. remove the battery.
2. connect the receiver to power.
3. try and acquire satellites.

Have you also re paired and activated the receiver lately.  perhaps
there's something strange going on just with that and it's not a
hardware battery issue.

Hi all,
I have a Holux GPSlim 35 receiver and think the battery (batteries) are on 
the way out.  Although I have charged this again ready for use (after a
few
months of inactivity), although the receiver is recognized by my PK, I am
unable to acquire satellites. Is this likely to be a battery problem? If 
so, could you please advise if there is one or are there two different
batteries about which I should be concerned and can replace, or do I have
to
purchase a new unit?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
