I bought this battery to go with my Nuvi 500. I already own a Nuvi 750 but this battery is one of the reasons that I bought the 500. Unlike most other Nuvi's (and most other automotive GPS receivers) the 500 and the 550 have a user interchangeable battery (the 880 does as well). If you use your GPS primarily in your car this is not a big deal. However, my favorite thing about the Nuvi's is that I can carry them in my pocket as I explore a new city or ever a park or wildlife area. I even have a bicycle mount for it. My 750 only gave me about 3 hours of use before it had to be recharged. Although I am not getting the "up to 8 hours" of power that the manufacturer suggests for the 500 I am getting a solid 5 hours of use with the backlight set at 50%. If I still want more, that's where this battery comes in. A quick switch and I have another 5 hours of GPS guidance. Thank you Garmin for adding this feature to your latest GPS units!

I have a Garmin Nuvi 500 since 2008 so a Battery replacement was required. Besides normal car use I also use this unit with my bike, my small sailing boat and sometimes even when I walk.
Using low lighting my unit last up to 8 hs.

I bought this spare and a charger so I could swap back and forth between two batteries with my Garmin, which I use only for Phantom Alert. It works. What more could you ask for.
