Jack, I'm not sure that I'd go and wholesale fill up a battery compartment... yikes, what a mess that will make! A little grease on seals usually will do the job. If there's misalaignment on the cover and gaps that water can get in then maybe try some vinyl electrical tape or some of that silicone splicing tape. Just some thoughts as I've never actually tried any of this myself ;] FWIW, My Garmin GPS 12XL battery cover is designed so that a lot of water could get in quite easily... I'd prefer some sort of waterproof bag with a window... --allan On Fri, 1 Sep 2000 09:17:37 -0700, Jack Fu wrote: >>> A much better choice would be silicone grease, available from industrial >supply houses. > >Good point, thank you!
