Navigator V battery replacement

[SilverSurferToo]

Did they confirm which February ...?

I can’t speak for the lead time if you need a new battery but installing one couldn’t be easier. It’s a 5 minute job from the moment you put the new battery on the table next to the unit until you put the unit back in the travel case and bin the old battery.

I ordered one from Garmin 3/5/23 and was told they were in stock at the time of ordering.
A few days later got an email saying they were back ordered and it would be early June.
June comes and another email saying it will now be early October.
October comes and another email saying it will now be February...
I can see where this is going.

Me too! I emailed them saying that it was pretty poor and just to tell me if they weren't going to make them any more, it was, after all, only £13... and they seemed quite affronted by my tone! So I look forward to next February

I turn it off completely and still no better I just live with it

Bit of a while since your post, but have you tried the tweaking of the pins in the batteries plug to get some useful charge into the battery?

It does indicate full on the screen after charge. Never heard of the tweaking you speak of

I did this on my 590 and the time the battery lasted went up dramatically: https://www.zumouserforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=2

Ha! Good old Garmin! They have just cancelled my order and refunded my £13.

No why...no sorry....no customer support.

Very poor... At least they refunded me!

Me too! I questioned it and they just said order it again when it's in stock! Fecking idiots!
