The VX82 X530 battery is a replacement battery for the Pulsar watch. It is a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 3.7V and 530mAh. It is important to note that you should only use a battery that is specifically designed for your Pulsar watch, as using the wrong type of battery can damage the watch or be potentially dangerous. Always use caution when changing a watch battery.

Yyou can try searching for "VX82 X530 replacement battery" or "Pulsar watch battery replacement" on online retailers such as Amazon, eBay, or Alibaba. You may also check with the manufacturer of your Pulsar watch or a local watch repair shop for replacement options.

This is the serial number. It tells you that the watch was manufactured in April of the first year of a decade (e.g. 1991. 2001, 2011 etc). If it's a quartz watch, it's probably one of the example years shown.

If you will browse through my Tips and Tricks, you will find the link to Pulsar watch manuals.

There are many sellers offering capaciter kits on ebay. However, these can be quite difficult to fit especially if you have never done it before. I recommend using your local qualified watchmaker to fit it. Seiko (the company behind Pulsar and Lorus) have made Lithium-Ion upgrade kits for many of their models so the upgrade should be beneficial. A good watchmaker should be able to fit it for you within 10 minutes (depending on how busy they are).

Pulsar are made by Seiko and support can be obtained from their web site. (The number your quoted is a Seiko number- all Pulsar models seem to start with two or three letters).

Put "www.seiko.co.uk/support/instructionbooklets" into you search engine and you should come to the Seiko instructions list. Scroll down to find your watch and download the instructions.

You have to find your nearest watch repair shop and ask to replace CAPACITOR. This is a short name for Kinetic E.S.U. used by watch professionals. After replacing this part your watch will run as new and will keep power reserve as described in this manual:

P.S. I would recommend to charge the watch as described in manual first, and only if it does not work, go to the repair shop.
