| Posted by ross.bowden3 Garmin 760 battery life I would appreciate any information regarding optimising the battery life in a Nuvi 760. If used in pedestrian mode, battery life is very short - pathetic really. Thanks. |

To get most of your battery life you must discharge it completely few times than charge it again. Leave it running for a few hours until it's dead then plug in to the USB and leave it overnight. Max you can get from this battery it about 4 hours. I don't think this unit was designed to be used for the pedestrian mode. Have fun |

| Posted by mbram 7XX battery life Dont expect long battery life after the first year. The battery looses a lot of its capacity after a year and it keeps decreasing the more it is cycled. My garmin after three years was down to 1/2 hour and now after five years 10-15 minutes max. Li-Po and L-Ion batteries are good for about 1000 charge cycles newer ones can make at least 2000 cycles, much like a laptop battery. |
