NP99spBattery Kit for Garmin Nuvi 2595LMT with Video Instructions, Tools, and Extended Life Battery from NewPower99

I carefully watched the video before purchase and read most of the reviews. I then ordered. Kit was as described and screwdriver with pry bar were quite well designed. Got the case opened with great care and took my time. Case snaps in place so get all four sides popped loose before taking apart. Noticed there was an "extra" wire/thin line holding the case together, and took a while to discover it was a "safety" line to keep you from separating the case halves too far. One end of the safety line pops into a spot on the other case half but isn't a power line, just to hold the case. It comes off and is then popped back in when you are done and securing the case.Now the negative. The only real thing one has to do is pry the battery loose and take off the connector. Prying the battery loose went OK, just go slow and work a blunt tipped plastic screwdriver or similar thing under the battery and slide it around until you get it loose. Its really glued in there, not taped, but the glue works to hold the new battery in eventually. The battery connection was the problem.The problem was the tiny connector, which has two sides which are different. Only one side will connect. It is so tiny its hard to tell one from the other. Take a look with a magnifier before you pry or lift off the old wire and you will see a "push" engraved into the plastic. That's the top. Once you pop it off, look at the new connector to identify which side goes in as there is no "push" engraved on it. As its so tiny, you probably will need to use a magnifying glass to see which side is which. Match it up with the old one and you will know which side is out, even though there is no "push" on it.Once I did that, it still took three tries of pushing the connector and trying the GPS to see if it would work. First two tries it worked on the charger, but showed a red ? on the battery indicator, as it wasn't connected right. Finally took a tiny screwdriver and pushed the top and sides of the new connector firmly enough into the plug area to make sure it was tight. Then it worked. Finally. Finger pressure did not do enough the first two times.Seems to be charging fine now and the battery indicator is showing it is charging. So all appears well.With a little better instructions I could have given it higher rating. That's bad for the seller.

We bought the New Power 99 battery kit to replace the battery that came in our Garmin 2595LMT.Totally shocked that it worked and saved us a from having to buy a whole new Garmin right away!Found the videos for our exact model from New Power 99 on YouTube which made it so much easier to install. It's not that it's easy to install because it really isn't, but luckily you don't have to replace the batteries in your GPS very often. Also, this kit comes with the battery and tools for opening the Garmin and removing the battery. Just do not rush through, make sure there are no distractions around and concentrate on what you are doing, be extremely careful with each component, and follow the video from New Power 99 exactly. You will also require good vision or a magnifier, and you will need to be able to work with really tiny parts because the ends of 3 wires where the plug connects have to be lined up perfectly and snapped into place very carefully without tugging on any wires or crushing the components as they are snapped into place.Our Garmin is working perfectly again. It charges normally and works exactly like the original battery did. Thank you for making such a simple fix!

Good instructions but device proved difficult to work with. Old battery almost impossible to remove and ribbon connector so tiny it was tasking to remove without damaging connection. It all worked out but much patience is required.

This adds to the other reviews. The battery works great and is a lot cheaper than sending your GPS back to Garmin. I used this battery in a Garmin 2595. The removal kit is just what is needed. I did not use a hair dryer to loosen the double sided tape that holds the battery to the case. The prying tool worked just fine but take your time and don't force it. Work around all 4 sides of the battery. When removed the and replaced I was able to replace half of the doubled sided tape back in the case to hold the battery in place so it would not rattle. One person had mentioned that a 2 wire connection was not described in the CD video that comes with the kit. That 2 wire connection is for the microphone on the left side of the unit for voice commands. I did not have to disconnect it; the microphone came out of the case so it did not have to be disconnected. ONE or TWO ADDITIONAL NOTES. The ribbon cable connection between the two halves of the case can come disconnected, because it is a snap clamp connector, if the cable is pulled accidentally too far. If it does, remove and replace the new battery before trying to put the unit back together. This actually made it easier to replace the battery. The snap connector has a light colored snap lever. When ready position the ribbon cable in the connector without bending any of the cable wires and snap the lever flat against the cable. A slight snap feeling might be felt and the cable should then not be loose. Start to put the to halves together but be sure the microphone fits back in the case if it came out like mine or reconnect the wire connector before closing the case. The battery connector just snaps in place, by the way and is held in place when the case is completely held in place by the 4 screws. Before putting the 4 screws back in, I powered up the unit to be sure it was now working. Before the battery change it was completely dead and would not power on. Like all electronics, take your time and don't force anything. If your eyes are not the best, you might need a magnifying glass to see what you are doing on the connectors.

Just Installed. Seems to work fine..

I received my battery for my Garmin 2595 LMT the issue I see is that the connector on the battery does not securely stay in place like the original connector.Also I notice that the replacement battery I received has the name Cameron Sino and not Newpower99.Sending battery back for a refund.

Worked great when installed, not stopped after 2 days.

Had a lot of trouble

Nice unit, working well. Slightly different fit from my 2555 so it doesn't fit my old RAM mount. Also does not support the range of alternate voices. Otherwise, a solid upgrade!

Was a quick installation

Battery was good but not as good of a charge as expected. New battery lasts for about an hour. I thought we may get 2 hours but it was better than the original battery which was only getting about 2 minutes worth after years of use. Good replacement battery overall.

Easy to install,

Worked perfectly and even came with a CD with a full instructional video and all tools needed to replace the battery. So glad I didn't have to buy a whole new Garmin!!!
