Reid @ Jun 17th 2008 12:39PM Yeah, having a hard time figuring out why my Nuvi 350 needs replacing... ------------- Garmin and TomTom (and no doubt others) have that problem solved: they all include non user-repleaceable batteries in nearly all their models (last I checked only Garmin have removable batteries in their higher-end models).
Meaning after 400-500 charge cycles the battery will no longer hold suitable charge, and you're out buying another one... or doing the replacement organ battery surgery yourself if you are technically-inclined.
Of course if you use it plugged in nearly all the time then you're good.
