Device will not hold a charge.
Hi there! It's me again! So found a new problem. The device battery is not holding a charge. I will leave it on the charger to charge for hours so by the time I need to use it will be fully charged. Then when I try to use it, the battery level is already drained within 10-20 min. What could I do to resolve the problem or fix it all together?
Es esta una buena pregunta?

I have had 3 Garmin GPS and my newest one has this same problem. I can update the firmware and can fully charge it but once I disconnect the cord the battery goes right to low and shut off the device. Cord stays plugged in and the device works without a problem. My guess is it is a bad battery and you can only use it plugged in, great when I am using it in my car but sucks when I need it on my bike.

Yes my Garmin's as well as two other totally different brands also has the same problem. It will be plugged in and get a full charge and 10 to 20 mins later its completely dead and turns off. However when its plugged it it works wonderfully! Could it possibly be a setting that I turn on when I took it out the box and set it up the first time? Because it's been 3 diffrent GPS's and 3 diffrent brands. The odds of them all being the battery are very slim. What do you think? Should I take it to someone to take a look at it or troubleshoot? What do you recommend?
