After a 24 hour charge the battery will only last 2 hours under normal usage!
Is this normal!
Thanks for any help

Yeah, that's about right.Specifications say 3 hours but that's probably optimistic.They're all about the same, and designed to be plugged in most of the time.

3 hours!mmmm that seems a little LOW lol
My phone which is in fact a PDA runs for 3 days on battery power and that connects to wifi, GPRS, and cellhpone coverage.
I have emailed TOMTOM to see what they say.
Thanks

Well, they're not made for walking about with.
If it really matters (saw your other thread), run a dedicated power supply and hide the wire between the pillar and headlining.

Try and run a gps app on your phone and let us know how long it lasts. GPS it seems uses signifacantly more battery life. My iphone running tomtom would be lucky to last 2 1/2 hrs.

I've got a go live 1000 (latest model) and the website says 2 hours!

I find the battery life poor, if not plugged in after a few days.

They can run on both 12v and 24v . it is noted on the plug.
