+sabresfan Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 I just got a used M515 palm pilot from ebay, and it seems that the battery needs to be replaced. It hold a charge during heavy usage for 2 hours. Should they last longer than that? I was thinking that I needed to get another battery to replace the one that is in it now. The M515 has the internal battery instead of the 2 AAA's. Has any one else had to replace one, and if so where did they go. I live in the east side of the GTA. Thanks in advance. Quote
+chris-mouse Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 I was looking for replacement parts for a Handspring Pro, and found this site: Palm Medic Canada I ended up buying a new PDA instead of the replacement screen on the old one, so I'm not sure how good the company's service is. Judging from the price they want for a replacement M515 battery, replacing the PDA might be something you'd want to consider as well. Quote
+DNStephens Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 (edited) Keating Technologies in Markham are, or were, the official Canadian repair reps for Palm. http://www.keating.com/Palm/default.htm I've dealt with them in the past and they were great, fast and very thorough. Check them out and I'm sure they could help you. Edited May 3, 2005 by DNStephens Quote
+Chillibusher Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 I was looking into replacing the battery in my M130. There are lots of batteries available on Ebay. They seem to be pretty cheap online. Just search M515 batteries. Quote
+sabresfan Posted May 4, 2005 Author Posted May 4, 2005 Thanks everybody for you insight. I ordered a battery for the Palm M515for only 20 bucks Canadian from Vancouver from ebay including shipping. Thanks Quote

+Tidalflame Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 Yeah, the older models should hold a charge longer than two hours. Quote
+DBleess Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 You're almost as likely to destroy the older palms as get the successfully battery replaced on it unless you have excellent electronics skills. Anyone know if palm is coming out with a unit that has a user replaceable battery along the lines of their treo 650 phone? Quote
