So, the GPS only powers on while connected to the mains via the USB cable. My limited knowledge of electronics says the Li-on battery has given up. Which means it can be replaced right?

Fair play to Lezyne for using 4 torx screws to seal the device. Easily opened I've now released the battery from its gluey fixing.

The hard bit is finding a like for like replacement on the internet. The battery spec is:

Model: 753455
Type: Lithium
Capacity: 1400mah
Rechargeable: Yes
Voltage: 3.7V
Size: L 48mm x W 34mm x H 8.5mm

No luck enquiring with a couple of battery sellers in the UK I'm now contemplating taking a punt (batteries are only ~£7) on a eBay or Alibaba Xpress order.

Before I do that though, does anyone on STW have any ideas where I might be able to source a replacement?

Obvious question - have you contacted Lezyne? They might be able to point you in the right direction.

LiPo battery? I wondered if Mark/Smudge @ MTB Batteries could assist you?

How long have you had that Mega XL?

I've had my Enhanced Super GPS ~3.5 years, was thinking of grabbing a Mega XL for the offline mapping and rerouting.

dirkpitt74 - Already contacted Lezyne but I'm not the original purchaser (bought on ebay 2nd hand last year) so no warranty support there.

n0b0dy0ftheg0at - Battery says 2018/05 on it so assume that 2018 was year manufactured/assembled. Battery has packed in after 2.5 years.

benz & stevied - thanks for the tip, will check out Mark @ MTB batteries.
