Seems this might be a universal problem
I need to replace the battery in my Rider 400 and I can't locate one, has it been superseded?
Thanks for any info.

Being in the U.S., I've never dealt with these folks, but the price certainly seems right. For non-priority repairs, the service isn't all that much more than just the battery.

Thank you for your suggestions regarding my battery problem, good news and bad news.
Try as I might I could not get info on a battery replacement for my Rider 400 but as a last resort before I purchased a new unit, I replaced my charger and hey presto, my sat nav came back to life. I hope this might help anyone with a similar problem.
