An excellent article except for one major problem but, why does iFixIt not sell theses batteries or direct you on where a person could actually buy one? This knowledge is pretty much useless with out a replacement battery to actually use.

Yeah I agree

Yousef Ghalib -

Thanks for this guide. This gave my Garmin 20 another couple of years! :)

BTW, I was able to buy the battery replacement from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KSR...

The problem I am having is that every time my Garmin 20 starts it goes right into the menu mode and does not automatically start recording. I was using this dash cam as my rear camera so I can't go through the menu every time I start my car. I replaced the battery with a new one hoping this was the problem but a new battery did nothing to help. Any ideas?
