Electronics » Nav 6 battery drain --- Is this normal?

I took a 6 week break from riding and finally broke that drought this morning. When I started out the Nav 6 was dead and it took about 25 minutes of riding before the display came to life. It went through the initial start-up procedure with all of the various warnings and acceptance prompts. Would 6 weeks be normal for a charged unit to go completely dead? For those 6 weeks, I had the Nav 6 installed on the bike, bike was turned off, garaged, and on a battery tender the entire time. I would have expected the Nav 6 to get power (and power on) from the bike as soon as I hit the ignition switch.

I think this must be normal as I have the NAV 5 and I have had the exact same experience.

I have the nav v and yes it does discharge over time. Remember when the nav switched off with the bike it is in sleep mode not completely turned off. I always remove mine from the bike and if it hasn't been used in a while I plug it into a USB charger.

Interesting. I have a Zumo 660 and it sits all winter on the bike without losing any charge.

Usually it's because just clicking the on/off button doesn't actually turn the Nav 6 off, although the screen goes black. You have to hold the button in until "Turn the device off" screen appears, then click yes. Battery lasts much longer then

Thanks that should solve the problem. It happened to my Nav VI last winter. Thought I turned it off but don’t recall seeing the prompt you mentioned.

Yes. Now, if you want fun, try to figure out how to charge it up quickly. It takes forever on the computer. A lot of wall chargers won't work. My solution is to make sure I regularly tell the wife I need a few hours to charge the NAV by taking it for a ride.
