the word from Garmin is these are no longer available as they have been discontinued. So has any one found a 3rd party that makes them still? if not then its back to buying the new BMW device or fitting something else.

The batteries in Garmin products are often generic items. Zumo 660/Nav 4 batteries are widely available as they were discontinued years ago. Spam goes here |
Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #2 Thankfully, batteries ARE NOT proprietary items. I don’t know of any product where the manufacturer makes their own or have specific standards for a custom made battery by a vendor. The variety of batteries out there is just so diverse it’s easier to use an existing one. Part of why the Navigator VI’s battery has such a short life off bike is likely because they went with a battery that would fit and provide power for a short time off cradle…just enough to be useful. Don’t know about EU, but I presume you have online retailers that specialize in batteries of every type like we have in the USA. Indeed, the hardest battery for me to find, of late, were these tiny button batteries used in cheap Chinese pocket flashlights (often a used for marketing campaigns). No store carries them because most people throw away the flashlight when the batteries die.

Hi Wessie yes have to be carefull about the type of battery as the Nav battery is 7.4v 920mah 6.8wh. Most of the other Garmin batteries are all 3.7v

I bought a generic replacement for my Nav V. The unit gave me an error message saying to replace the battery with a Garmin unit. The battery came from amazon. Unfortunately, buying history does not go back far enough to grab the order information. Maybe since the battery is no longer available they will write a software patch to allow the use of a generic battery. |
