Battery Charging How do I know when the battery is fully charged? And when I reset it, do all of my Favorite Locations get deleted?

The instructions (should) specify the charging time.
However, you can try operating the lights briefly during charging, then note the time taken until they work properly, then add an hour or so to allow full capacity charge.
As far as I know, solar arrays won't over-charge a battery, as it is more of a low-current trickle-charge, so you could leave it charging the whole day without damage.
The OEM may have a website with more info.

Refer to everything that has to do with battery. I wonder if you can see anything on the control panel. If nothing is there you battery is dead for sure.
If you can see symbols on the control panel, it could be your on on / off switch is defect.
The Battery
Check the battery level be focusing the camera and replace or charge the battery if necessary. Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in reduced battery performance. Whenever possible, carry a fully charged spare battery when taking pictures on important occasions.
Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0 C (32 F) or above 40 C (104 F).
Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5 C to 35 C (41 F to 95 F) before use.
Note that the battery may become hot during use; wait for the battery to cool before charging.
Failure to observe these precautions could damage the battery, impair its performance, or prevent it from charging normally.
On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure that the battery is fully charged before heading outside to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.
Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning. Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.
If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and completely exhaust it before removing it for storage. The battery should be stored in a cool location with an ambient temperature of 15 C to 25 C (59 F to 77 F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations.

First try to replace the battery, a drained or low voltage battery won't charge up.

Nine minutes is the maximum time a GPS should take to lock on to a signal. Longer periods are caused by a failing battery or a battery that is not fully charged.

Either charge it via AC or USB, car chargers do not charge them fully they are just mainhtenance charging.

Please rate my help++++Thanks for using FIXYA

I need to know what your model is to be able to tell you how to solve this problem. Get back to me and we can go from there

try charging the tom tom fully and then reset while it is charging. a tom tom will not reset unless the new battery is fully charged which may take some time if you only have a car charger.


please give me a fixya! rating if this helped.

Synchronize your E2, then work on draining the battery all the way down in order to reduce the effect of battery memory. Memory happens when we repeatedly partially charge a battery. Over time the battery will forget how to keep a full charge, but will remember how to be partially charged. That's usually when users realize there's a problem. The first step is to drain the battery and FULLY charge it at least fully on the battery's indicator, but if you can, let it sit for 24hrs. The second step is to try to use the battery more before charging it and let it charge fully (ie-overnight) before using it when you need to charge it.

Good luck and let me know how you make out.

Do you have a Treo desktop charger/sync cradle where you can drop the battery into the charger?
