Garmin GPSMAP 276C GPS Receiver

Gps 276C doesn't charge fully (by 4 users)


posted by Docmill on Nov 22, 2007

Report abuse

My 276C never indicates a full charge, either on mains or battery. It is 4 months old. I have completely discharged and recharged it at least 5 times. The battery graphic shows "charge completed" when the blue colour is about 90% to 95% across the battery.
Not a practical problem so far, The GPS the is otherwise a great piece of equipment.
Thanks for any advice.

My 276C is also nearly new and after 2 weeks good use the battery indicator only shows half charge and about 5 hours instead of around 9 hours at the start. I intend to send back to retailer.

I also show a "Complete Charge" but actually have only 15% battery life remaining. Unit is 3 months old....... Trying to find a fix at this time......

Same problem here. The 276c shows "Charge Complete" but the battery indicator below does not even go beyond the letter g (30%)

Something is not right. I suggest you return it to the retailer for warranty repair.

Garmin has updates for this issue on the website but it doesn't fix all the units. Mine for example still does the whole "charge complete" thing when showing 1/2 a battery. The funny thing is I let it drain and the unit stays on for about 10 hours after it says the battery is dead. Garmin is working on a new fix and they said it should be up in about a week.
