Garmin Fenix 3 HR "self made charging"

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

2

Time Required

30 minutes

Introduction

cut off the mini-USB, or micro-USB, or Thunderbolt and remove the isolation of the red and the black wires.

the red wire will go on the top of the 4 contacts.

the black will go on the bottom last of the 4 contacts.

be creative and fasten them to the fenix 3. I used a clip and insulted it with a piece of plastic. you can also use duck take or similar to stick the 2 wires to the corresponding contacts on the fenix.

plug in the USB to a USB port or USB charging plug.

on the display you should now see the charging %

Worked great thanks. The only hard part was that the wires are small.

Since the original charging connector plug is symmetrical and can be connected either way around, it's very likely that you can connect the + and - either way around. Just be sure to connect to pin 1 and pin 4 and you should be good.
