For current modern G, Protrek and standard Casio Tough Solar models, at least 98% of current line up is using rechargeable CTL-1616, wheres for the earlier 90's and 2000's model is using either the ML-2020 and ML-2016. (But only using on Raysman or Frogman 200 series) For analogue model or either combi between analogue & digital is using either CTL-1616 or ML-920 rechargeable battery.

lokgotz is right, at least current battery powered models is powered 3 common lithium batteries: CR-2016, CR-2025 and CR-1220. However, when Casio release 2 models on last year, the GD-350 & GDX-6900, rules has been started to changed, now is powered by CR-2032 battery which mostly powered our computer's motherboard BIOS battery.

cheers.

And yeah, for rechargeable batteries, I'm basing on Raysman and Frogman GW-200 series because those are the two that I've replaced. I didn't know about CTL-1616 as I've not replaced the newer/current models yet. My bad there.

I'm glad they are slowly switching to CR-2032 as it's slightly easier to get compared to CR-2016, CR-2025 and CR-1220. However, that also means that G-Shocks are getting thicker than they are now, since the CR-2032 are much thicker than the other batteries.

Thank again lokgotz, glad to give you a helping hand. We are sharing the passionate about G since both of us are from the earlier generation for this famous resin watch . As a Casio nerds for nearly three decades, really happy to have senior's to share same passion. Got hit by G bug again in 2006 but now semi-retired already.

You're are right, by using the CR-2032 not only thicker but bulky also, as you can see on the GDX-6900, but also using the highest voltage 225 mAh, compares normal CR-2016 is using 90 mAh and CR-2025 is using 165 mAh. For CR-1220 is 35 to 40 mAh.

For rechargeable such as CTL-1616 (CTL stands for Cobalt Titanium Lithium) is using 18 mAh, CTL-920 is 5.5 mAh. Whilst for ML-2016 is the highest voltage 25mAh that is why Casio like to use it to powered the the older G such as the Raysman, Gulfman dan 200 series Frogman. (Note: ML stands for Magnesium Lithium).

Conclusion, that is why the the CR-2032 still rocks with the highest nominal voltage output for non rechargeable Casio watch models.

Just my 2 cent...

cheers

Quick update for ya. I replaced the battery and light now is all good. Guess I kena conned a little by the old fellow giving me a weak battery.

Got my first little G-shock (Tough Solar) Made a watch stand out of RM5 Daiso corkboard
Just cut, use toothpick & glue to join the parts.

Just take off, and place on the stand. Easy on/off!

BTW, do you guys know if the G-shocks on lamido.com.my (by lazada) are genuine?

Hi guyss, i m new here =) nice to meet you guys! I have a gshock ga110 blue black.yesterday i found out my watch gone black out and i think the battery is drained out. I went to gfactory in nu sentral mall and they said they dont provide service and ask me to go to service center in jalan segambut?is there the only place that i can change my battery and how much will that cost?

Any one know any new feature added to the new GA-1000-4 compare to the old model GA-1000?






Off topic. I m quit, bunch of G-Shock up for sales now. Feel free to visit my sales thread.

G-Shock for sales

Best is to change it yourself. Not too hard anyway. Glad you got it working.

Nice Kreyos you have there.

I use the 2x2 acrylic case from Daiso as well to store my watches.

Not too sure what "black out" means but if you think the battery is flat, just replace it. Don't have to go all the way to Marco at Jalan Segambut. Not a lot of watch shops do battery replacements these days but not too hard to find one that does.

If you're adventurous enough, you can replace the battery yourself.

I don't really have three decades of experience under my belt. I got my first G-Shock in 1996. Second one in 1997. Third and fourth in 1998. Then stopped and focused on other watches, until I caught the bug again in 2008 when Casio released the new (current) Riseman. So you're the sifu. Not me. Hahaha

I focused on collabs and models with plenty of features (for movements, I have my other watches. Never really liked analogue G-Shocks) but I find that the collaborations are going out of hand. There are new collaborations every month or so, couldn't catch up. In 2011, I decided to sell most of my collection and focusing in only one model, i.e. Frogman.

I'm semi retired now as well. I've been focusing vintage/older models these days. I prefer the good old days where one G-Shock is specific for one function, like Frogman is for diving and etc.

hey thanks for the fast reply, if i go for ordinary workshop, will the sifu be not skillful enough to replace the battery and affect the durability or waterproof ability of my gshock?also wat is the price will approximate be?

Anyone know where can I get genuine GA303B-1A? Bought a G shock last year and am hooked now! Is this seller reliable ie original and is the price ok?

Sorry don't know how to create link...

Gpeople is ok.. and the price is cheap i guess. let's wait for other sifus to comment..

Replacing a battery isn't really difficult. The sifu should be skillful enough. The battery should be less than RM10. Workmanship around RM10 (?) so you're looking at around RM20.

I always replace the batteries myself so I don't really know what shops charge for a replacement.

I've never bought from Gpeople but they are ok based on the feedback of other forummers.

Had bad experience in changing battery. Spoiled my screws .

so i buy battery from daiso and change myself. It is very very easy.
