As I understand it, they all take the same battery. Anyone got a bmw number for them, and the best place/price to secure one? |

I would try a Batteries Plus Bulb store, take the Nav to the store so they can see the battery. They are good problem solvers.

Zitat von runnerhiker im Beitrag #2 This. BMW doesn’t make batteries, and it wouldn’t even be a BMW part as it’s a Garmin product. Garmin part 361-00063-00. If BMW has it, odds are they get them from Garmin. https://beemerparts.com/product/garmin-b...?v=7516fd43adaa $59 (US) Goggle isn’t finding them easily…which is odd as batteries are rarely proprietary. How much time do you get on a full charge. GPS batteries have become notorious for not lasting long when disconnected from power. My Zumo may last a couple of hours of constant use. I think my Navigator VI does worse.

Zitat von azqkr im Beitrag #1 I have had my Nav V battery replaced for free, as a goodwill gesture, by Garmin customer support. It's best to go directly to them and report "my battery loses charge quickly". This is not an uncommon problem and they seem to be aware of it. |

I had a Zumo 660 before buying a used Nav V. While I had the 660, it needed a battery so I bought one on Amazon. When I put it in I started getting error messages about it being a non-Garmin battery. I replaced it with a battery I bought from Garmin and it was happy. Sometimes $5 savings isn't worth the trouble. |

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #3Zitat von runnerhiker im Beitrag #2 I've bought from Simeon before, I'll give him a call this morning thanks |

Zitat von Davidnapo im Beitrag #5 Yeah...my research is indicating the battery is unique...like two batteries wired in parallel to have double output. 7.4v. I'd say if you can't find a genuine Garmin battery elsewhere, see what Garmin will do. They have to have piles of these and would sell them cheaper (I'd think) than BMW would. battery.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Zitat von Ray im Beitrag #4 That's what I did and we both received new batteries free. No begging required :) Even with a new Battery the Nav V has a much shorter battery life when not used on a regular basis compared to other Gamins I've owned. It doesn't seem to hurt anything when the battery goes flat. I've never had it lose any stored info when the battery was dead. Lee |

Called garmin this morning. 25.95 for battery as the unit is out of warranty. |

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #10Zitat von azqkr im Beitrag #9 Just got home and finished the online purchase. They won't have them back in stock until the 28th but will ship as soon as they get them in. 27.11 with tax, like you, I think that's a fair price. |

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #7 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) I have to occasionally open up my current V and swap out the batteries, which is not ideal... it would be great if I could just connect up that little white connector on the battery to standard USB charger. Any ideas!? KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS |

Zitat von azqkr im Beitrag #13 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? Lee |

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #14Zitat von azqkr im Beitrag #13 I’d expect it to. I’ve evolved from Zumo 550 to 660 to NAV6 and moved data from Basecamp every time.
Carpe Diem!
