Nav 6 Battery

Any way to prevent a Nav6 battery going flat - even when removed from the cradle and turned off via the power button?

Likewise my Zumo 660 battery will still show full after months of inactivity. (And I thought the Nav VI would be an upgrade) Oh well....... I guess I just have to live with it. milleplod wrote: My old Zumo 400 has been off the bike since last October - it was fully charged the day I brought it into the house. I've just fired it up to put a couple of custom routes onto it, it still shows fully charged. The battery was new last March.

That sounds like an old GPS unit, (launched in 2007), how long did the original battery last.milleplod wrote:My old Zumo 400 has been off the bike since last October. The battery was new last March.
I reckon it lasted around 9 years but tbh it was still going strong, I only replaced it as I spotted a genuine replacement on Amazon for peanuts.David. wrote: That sounds like an old GPS unit, (launched in 2007), how long did the original battery last.
