MyFi battery

J

JeremyAndrews

I just got my replacement (recall) battery in the mail this past week so I won't be needing to worry about it for awhile but:

Anybody know where I can buy a replacement battery for when this one goes out? It says to go to xmradio.com but I can't seem to find batteries there.

Thanks<P ID="signature">______________

You can go to http://www.myradiostore.us/ - it sells all things XM and is a licensed dealer.
 
> > I also got my replacement battery the other day, but I haven't switched the batteries. So far, I've had zero problems with my original battery, so I'm just planning on keeping the replacement to use when my original one finally dies. Any harm in doing this? What is supposed to be wrong with the original ones anyway? If I'm not having any problems with my original battery, should I change anyway?
 
Take it apart to find out who manufactures the battery. Find a distributor who deals with the public. Get part for much less.

Rinse, repeat :)<P ID="signature">______________

If you're not having any problems, then I guess you're okay.

Go to http://shop.xmradio.com and click on Accessories.

I popped in the replacement battery this weekend and had the MyFi lock up while driving to work. Popped the battery out, waited a few seconds, replaced it and it's worked since, but I lost my presets and recordings. I never had a problem with the old battery... I hope this doesn't happen again. <P ID="signature">______________

Yeah your just peachy till the thing breaks for any reason at all and you send it in for service. One overheated diode and I bet they void the warrantee. Especially if you aren't quick enough to switch to the other battery before sending it in.
