660 Battery Replacement
A word of caution. The 660 unit is one of the more difficult Nuvi's to replace the battery since it has a flip up antenna. If not careful you can damage the flimsy ribbon cables going to the LCD and touchscreen.
DON"T ASK ME HOW I KNOW
An alternative would be to send it out to a professional for repair. Although more expensive 29.00 plus shipping. you will have peace of mind and not a bricked 660.
Jim, a member of this forum has a reliable repair service and can do the job for you. You may treasure your 660 enough to warrant the cost of repair for such an old unit, that's a choice you must make.
Here is the link for Jims repair site:

660 and 680--
I've done battery swaps on our old 660 and 680 units. I have a set of jeweler's screwdrivers that are older than my son... I"m familiar with working on this kind of equipment.
There are some tricky bits to getting the 6xx series apart, such as the spring loading on the flip-up antenna -- if you're not careful, that spring will go flying and you will never find it again!
The flex connectors have to be handled carefully; make sure things are properly aligned.
Make sure the speaker is connected!
And don't fully secure the case again until AFTER you've seen if the thing will boot!
Or, a others have suggested, spend around $30 to have someone else do it, confident in the fact that you won't be looking in the mirror every morning at the person who screwed up your 660...
Also might be a good time to look at a refurb 2460 or that series; faster processor, more internal memory so it will hold maps, larger display.

Also, expect to recalibrate
Also, expect to recalibrate the touch screen feature, as if new. AMHIK!

Good advice, I sent my 660 out for a battery to a repair shop too when I owned it. Didn't want to damage anything.
