Everyone and any one who has an Humminbird VHF5 handheld and battery has gone bad. Go to all-battery.com and order 10 tab-flat top AA batteries 1.2 V 1000mah, you get 1200mah battery it will just last longer. Gently pry open the battery case, starting at the bottom working up the sides. Charging it for 10 12 hours will probably loosen up the glue abit. You will need to assemble your new batteries in series. If you do not know how to. Just unwrap the old setup and follow it. You will need to solder the tabs. I used hot glue gun to connect batteries into a pack, group them as tight as you can. Then wrap with elec-tape (i was able to use the original plastic (shrink wrap). the new pack will fit in snuggly. be carefull not to pinch the wires. I recommend some elec-tape around the outside of the case. Just to keep it together if you drop it. Charge up over night and you have a new battery pac. and radio that should last another 5-10 years.
