My battery charge icon usually shows anythibng from nearly flat to fully charged. I read on another thread that it's a software problem not a battery fault. I just ignore it.

| The battery charge icon never shows 100% these days, its a bug/ feature so ignore it, I certainly wouldn't consider changing the battery because of the indication saying it wasn't fully charged. If you only get 10 minutes use from a fully charged battery without the power lead plugged in then its time to consider swapping the battery (not too easy as its stuck to the main PCB) - Mike |

Thanks for the replies folks but to be fair - a unit costing 400 quid when these first came out shouldn't have software probs so it looks like tomtom supplies the software and the customer then finds fault with it and in return moans at the company to put things right as usual. HeHe bit like Vista aint it.
