This nav batt is to be a spare while traveling/extended trips this summer. I'll put it in my nav4 and charge it up while riding, leaving it in the unit for 2-3 months, then swap back to the original battery. When I get the spare Nav 5 next week, I'll use it on my RS and charge that battery up while riding.

Having a spare battery for both units and the nav5 being a spare taken on trip with the spare batt., if my brothers nav 4 goes T'sU he can take my nav 4 and I'll swap the nav 5 into mine.

I thought the Nav V had some upgrades over the Nav IV.
You might want to use the Nav V as the main unit.
I think Garmin Express will copy all your Nav IV info to the Nav V.
Can anyone confirm this?

As it happens, I have a spare one of these batteries at home - came from my previous, broken Nav V. In order to keep the spare battery charged (or at least, to prevent it running completely flat and damaging itself)

How does that even happen? Granted, rechargeable batteries may take time to reach 0% from sitting on the shelf, but given the limited capacity it starts with, I’ve hit 0% just trying to do stuff off bike before the battery runs out.

I don't know.

I treat the Garmin as if there is a constant draw on the battery (seems like there must be), and try to make sure I charge it during a ride (fast) or on my computer (slow) at least every 2 weeks.

I've been following this thread with some interest since I have a Nav V that I bought used. I have no idea how old the battery is. Apparently too old. I was getting battery errors on the unit on the way to work this morning. I ordered a replacement battery today from Garmin. I was told they're back ordered and expected on March 10th. The part number they gave me for the battery is 010-11274-22. Cost was $27.03. Free shipping if you don't waiting a week.

Pleasant surprise today. The battery I was told was back ordered for nearly a month arrived today. Popped it in, error messages about the battery are gone. Yeah! Now, if we would just get a good rain to wash all the salt off the roads, I'm ready to go riding!

Under promise and over deliver. That's my moto at work as well. No one's disappointed then.
