So I have a bad cell in my gps and need to replace it but after googling the part numbers that are on the battery I can't find the exact replacement. I need to have a battery that's the exact same because the spot that the battery goes in is small and so far all the batteries I've found are too big and won't fit in place of this one. Pics are attached to this thread. Could someone suggest where I can find this replacement please.

Measure the size of the original battery and/or the size of the space it has to fit into.

Then find one with the same voltage (what's the bet it's labelled as 3.7V) that will fit into the space available.

I had to do this for a device that had the battery fail. Unfortunately I had to get a battery that is about half the size of the original and I was worried it might have a short service life. However, it hasn't been a problem.

Feel out the batteries . . . as to their being 3 cylindrical cells side by side..
That seems to be three series arranged AA Ni MH cells making up the unit.

No, it's a single LiPo cell.

Must be a flat pack Li Ion then and I haven't had very good luck with them.
At least on the Rasbperry photo you can see the small charge power controller board on the very end.
