who else has a braille no-weight battery around here? I remember some of you having one?
well... I bought one last year in april. go put it in my car, and its dead. took it to batterys plus and they said its got a dead cell. sent that one back to vendor for new one. The new one works all last summer without a hitch.
Battery comes out of car for winter. store it with full charge in my house (65-72F) for the winter. Went to place it back in car yesterday and it was completely dead. nothing. zero. could not even light a bulb. Did not take a charge after driving around for hour also, after I jumped.
I dont recommend them to any one after this $$ mistake. looks like im going to eat this one.

what irritates me more than the battery dying is I bought a cheap *** pos $40 battery from autozone to throw in for winter use / if and when i have to move my car. I used that thing 3 times in 4 months this past winter and its fine.
I took extra special care of the braille, and the cheap a$$ pos i threw around in my garage all winter and the cheap FTW

Lead acid batteries need to remain charged or they build up oxidation on the electrodes. My guess would be that since the little battery is so little, the same amount of oxidation as on a bigger battery is just more critical.
Pete had problems with his little battery too.
IMO: The little batteries are nowhere near being worth their savings in weight. Car runs better with a real battery too.

I don't have your map Pete...I was talking to Andy.
I could grab yours for you though and see if they have a patched version for NLTS for it.
I'm not too sure about the map switching with a meth failsafe yet. I don't know if it is done...and if it is what else is involved in getting it working.
