Garmin Edge 530 Battery Replacement

Introduction

This guide will show you how to access, remove, and replace the battery of a Garmin Edge 530 device.

It may be necessary to replace the battery if the device is not turning on, or if the device has been damaged. You should troubleshoot to determine that the screen is operating properly before resorting to battery replacement.

The Garmin Edge 530 operates using a lithium-ion battery. This battery part can come as an individual battery or pre-packaged in a back case. If the part you order includes a back case, you should refer to the back case replacement guide for further instruction.

In this guide, you will have to pry up the glass panel with a metal spudger. It is important to note the potential broken glass hazard when prying the screen from the back cover. After this step, use ESD-safe tools to avoid damage to the rest of the device and protect it from electrostatic discharge.

A punctured battery can cause a fire. If the battery is swollen, it should be handled properly.

Before beginning, power down the device and disconnect from any external power sources.
