  • For me, the device worked well after the battery replacement. It was easy to turn on and off.
  • Meanwhile, there was occasionally “freezing” the display while navigating, which could be remedied with a reboot. Maybe a hardware defect, which also affects the charging function. The new battery enough for about 2 hours navigation without charging cable too little, I think.
  • Works permanently well. Also battery charge has gotten better. Maybe it was because the battery was too new.
