Garmin nuvi 880 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS NavigatorThe 880 is great, when used indoors planning a trip, or on the road "executing" the trip. You can hook it up to 110 VAC, or 12 VDC. But, in between or out of the car at destination, Watch Out! The 880 battery is stated as being good for only five (5) hours. So, I pack a spare battery for the 880 GPS (and a different one for my cell phone) whenever I go out of the immediate vicinity of my rural home. Both the GPS and the cell phone batteries are a pain to charge. You have to install them in their units, and then charge the units. The Nuvi battery is a little awkward to get out (don't force it, it comes out easy if you do it right) but easy to reinstall.

Of course, if I know I'm going to be away from the car, in the woods, I take along another Magellan which works great in the woods, but has too small a screen for driving.

Good buy. I purchased extra batteries because in some of the cars I drive I am unable to charge my Nuvi 850. Once the battery is exhausted I just change it. It is easy to do and the batteries are not too bulky and easily fit in a carrying case.

Love Garmin, especially their support, but a little disappointed with this battery. Find that if I keep it as a spare outside the gps, it loses its charge in a week or so. Maybe this is normal. Just didn't realize the need to swap batteries regularly to make sure the spare is charged. Let me know if this the norm with lithium ion batteries. Have a new netbook and I'm wondering if the same is going to be true for it.

I bought the Nuvi 885T because it has a user replaceable battery. With the spare battery, I can bring up the topo maps and use the 885T biking or hiking all day.

The battery works, but only maintained a charge for 2 years. Fortunately, when I use the GPS in the car, it uses the car battery. Next time I need a replacement battery, I'll look for a generic aftermarket battery.

I have used this battery for several months and had no problems with it. The price was good and easy to install.

This Garmin nüvi 800 Series Rechargeable Battery is the real Mc Coy. I purchased one that I thought
was the real Mc Coy for about the same price but, it was a cheap knock off. It did not last a month.
Also it did not have Garmin name on it and this one does. So far it is lasting and everything works
well with this battery that didn't work right with the cheap knock off. I bought this battery through
Amazon.com very cheap. If you buy it through one of the Garmin outlets,it will be almost twice the price.
So,I Suggest you try Amazon.com first for your pricing first.

It's a recharble battry, what can u say, it shiped in 3 days and , "wow', I was relived....it fit. I needed a replacment as I droped the gps and the back poped off in my car and the bat came out in the co. truck. I found both at diffrent times after buying this new one. PS my Garmin runs with the battry out on car 12v dc. Have an extra battry ya want it free? [...]

It looked exactly as the original battery that came with the Nuvi 855, which was still working fine. I kept switching it regularly with the original battery, and after a week I could not tell the difference. Excellent spare or replacement.

after 2 years the original batter stoped holding a charge as long as it used too. New battery made a world of difference and works great.
