After many cycles of charging and discharging, batteries become fatigued and lose their capacity to hold a charge. Manufacturing defects and improper storage can also lead to your watch battery not being as efficient as it once was. This straightforward guide will walk you through the steps of replacing your battery whatever the cause of its failure.
This procedure will fix any current problems you have with your battery. We also recommend you take the time to learn about proper charging and storage techniques to get the maximum life cycle out of your battery. Some of the basic steps points include:
- Store the device in a room temperature space out of direct sunlight
- Charge the device daily or at least every other day
- Do not let it discharge below 5%
Otherwise we hope this process goes well for you, good luck!

Thank you. The repair worked out very well. The tools made it possible. I had cracked the screen and now it is back to being a touch screen.

where to buy battery?
Does anyone know where to buy the 3.7 V, 150 mAh Li-Polymer type, battery.

Same question…
same question…
I have the same questions as everyone else and that is where can you purchase the battery. The Garmin part number 360-00033-00 (taken from the photo) cannot be found anywhere including the Garmin site. The number US332029 A9H (also taken from the photo above) cannot be found anywhere. The specification of the battery is 3.7V 150mAh and is a polymer Lithium battery. I attempted to find other batteries which meet these requirements on Aliexpress and I found a number of batteries which are close (3.7V 140 mAh P Ion). They look identical to the photos above and are 30m x 20mm x 3 mm. The only problem is that they will not last as long as the original Garmin battery and the connector on top of the Garmin battery would have to be removed and somehow attached to the new Aliexpress battery. The battery to search for on Aliexpress is 302030 and the cost (including shipping) is roughly $10.00. I am not sure if these are identical to the original Garmin batteries but the dimension appear to be correct.
Same question as everyone above. Where do you buy the replacement battery from?
Anyone found a battery solution?
nobody know where to buy this battery?
$99 for Garmin to replace the battery is all I could find…that sucks.
Same issue here. I contacted garmin support and they want to charge me almost 80 euros to replace the battery. My watch has 2 years and 5 months. What a waste of money. I will never buy garmin again.
So let’s say you DO find a battery (or a replacement screen) these “detailed” directions simply state that “to reassemble your device follow the directions in reverse order”. How does one “reverse the order” of warming the watch cover and levering off the screen? Does the adhesive need to be replaced? If so, with what?
Smavtronics claims to have the battery for $20.00. Who wants to be first to try it?
hi, can someone help me with the polarity + - for the Garmin Vivoactive Smart Watch , thanks

Google "360-00033-00", you will find plenty of shops (including ebay, aliexpress).
How to proceed for the vivoactive HR
After reaching step 11, you have to assemble the watch by reversing the steps. But how do you reverse step 3?

Just ordered my Garmin Vivoactive battery on https://www.smitacn.com/
The cost is $30 USD or $41.39 CAD (Dec 2nd, 2019)
Takes 3-4 weeks from China (E-Packet)
Garmin in the UK do not sell battery or replace the battery on this Vivoactive. This guide is excellent but can’t find an exact match. This one below is very similar and only £6 but 2mm thicker and not sure if this watch could take this extra thickness. Be great if someone who has done this could comment on my comment!
What is the best adhesive to use to reseal? I would like the watch to be at least water resistant after I change the battery - is this possible?
J’ai trouvé une batterie, elle dure longtemps, sauf qu’on a oublié le vibreur sur l’ancienne batterie ! Sur ebay :https://www.ebay.com/itm/224196564297?_t...
I was lucky on AliExpress, and it seems to work
Here is the battery with the back cover for $30 (USD) https://www.smitacn.com/back-cover-with-...
Or go to Amazon and search, Garmin 360-00033-00 There are many batteries listed with the above shown ribbon cable and connector from about $15 to $18 USD. The delivery time for most appears to be 10 to 14 days except for the few coming from China. For the reassembly, if you were careful in opening the watch and didn't damage the adhesive, you may be able to just put it back together and maintain water resistance. Or, look for adhesive remover and Tesa tape on https://www.ifixit.com/Tools/Consumables.
