Hi,

I have replacement Nano batteries in stock for $35.

It's not a meteorological phenomenon.

It's what happens when the battery in my Nano logger decided to swell up.

The case of the nano has been deformed for some time, but I thought it was
just sitting in the hot sun on top of the panel causing the case to distort.
A few days ago I heard a sharp 'crack' and noticed I could see daylight
through the nano on top of the panel. It pulled a screw head through a
mounting hole.

When I took the nano apart, the battery was swollen. Into the recycling with
that.

Lucky for me I've just started using the nano to provide GPS data to a Kobo
Mini. The nano works just fine on external power from the power/serial
adapter it came with. I'm running it from a 3C LiPo 1.3Ah battery as used by
RC aircraft. Nominally 11.1 volts, but it is over 12v off the charger and is
still over 12v after 2 days running the nano.

Here is a question. What happens to the official seal and calibration of a Nano when the case is opened and the battery is removed/replaced?

Hi,

Nothing. The Nano's battery compartment is separate from the sealed GPS
engine and logger section. Anyone can change the battery without affecting
the security seal.

I'd also add that the nano seems to work fine with no internal battery, just using external power. It retains the settings and the seal without any battery in the battery compartment. I've been using it daily with no battery for over a week with no problems.

Geez... I'm lucky to fly once on the weekend. Daily for a week.... Apparently I'm not doing it right...
