Hi
Could anyone tell me if it is easy to replace the battery on a tomtom one
please.
Thanks from Tim
It's not designed to be user-replaceable so the answer depends on how
happy you are to dissassemble the unit.

I've taken apart 3 cheap GPS units in Dec. 2007, and they all had LI-
ion/Li-polymer batteries, which looked easy to replace. But you've
gotta find a supplier of the right type of battery. And these
batteries are usually unmarked, so you have to guess their
characteristics.
And maybe a little soldering, which is easy enough. So long as you've
had enough experience doing electronic soldering.

Or maybe buy a faulty unit off eBay for spares. Could cost less than a new
battery. Plus you can learn how to disassemble the unit using the faulty
one before attacking your own unit. I did that to replace the backup
battery on my Medion PDA - which Medion wanted 50 pounds just to look at.
