And replacing the CR2032 internal battery before it getting flat causes you problems isn't a bad suggestion.

Hi,

The new Gemini GoTo do come with a Battery which is a CR2354 and they are sometimes really hard to find.

I would recommend to start searching for those batteries.

I was able to get some at a watch repair shop and each battery cost me about US $ 11.00 here in Mexico.

If you do not find them then you can still use a CR2032 but then you will have to add a washer into the battery compartment, because the CR2354 is thicker by about 2.2mm . The smaller diameter of the CR2032 is no problem.

CR2032 = 20mm in diameter and 3.2mm thick

CR2354 = 23mm in diameter and 5.4mm thick

They changed the battery size about 2 years ago because of the many complaints about the capacity of the CR2032.
