Battery Information

Your unit contains an internal (non-removable) lithium-ion
battery. Contact your local waste disposal department for
information on properly disposing of the unit.
Battery Tips
• Your nüvi's battery should last 4 to 8 hours depending on
usage. The battery gauge indicates the status of the battery.
• To extend the battery life, reduce the time the backlight
stays on. From the Menu page, select
Backlight Timeout
• To extend the battery life, close the antenna when you do not
need to receive GPS signals.
• To increase the accuracy of the battery gauge, fully discharge
the battery and then fully charge it. You should not need to do
this very often. See "Battery Gauge" in the side bar for more
information.
• To maximize the life of the lithium-ion battery, do not leave
your nüvi direct sunlight and avoid prolonged exposure to
excessive heat.

the accuracy of the battery gauge,
fully discharge the battery and
then fully charge it without
interrupting the charging. For
best results, do not unplug the
