Hi guys. Just popped in here.
I'm from Perth, Scotland
I have a Garmin zumo 660.
I've had this for since 2014. Hardly been used.
I bought a new battery the other day.
I fitted it into the sat nav and a message came up on the screen and it won't go on charge
Insert battery.....
Can anyone please tell me what the problem is.
Thanks
Robert

Re: Zumo battery
Welcome to the forum Robert from a fellow 660 user.
I guess you've cleaned the battery and unit contacts.
Did the unit start at all with the old battery installed?
Have you tried mounting the unit in the bike cradle?

Re: Zumo battery
Welcome @Robert the Scot
What does the massage say exactly ?
How are you charging it. Some USB cables are single function - charge or synchronise. You may need a different cable.
Your new battery may be completely flat. I would put it in the powered cradle and take it for a long ride.
Your new battery may be duff. Contact the supplier.

Insert battery.
The old battery works perfectly.

Re: Zumo battery
Mine's over 10 years old and doesn't reach full charge. Not a problem really as I only use it in the car or bike cradles. Sounds like you've got a duff new battery!

Welcome to the forum, Robert.
No 660 experience, I have a 590 (along with a Drive 60, Montana 610, and a inReach Mini), but it sounds like what others have said, a bad new battery.
