I know this is not new but Really!!!!
My 14 year old Zumo 660 started up no problem tonight a little low on power, but still showed me my route, if a little slowly
My 3 month old XT barely lit the screen before retiring to bed and last years XT did not show any life at all.
all three on charge for my journey tomorrow.
all were charged fully a month ago, pretty poor I would say.
Battery Life when switched off
Re: Battery Life when switched off
Did you really(!) switch off the both XTs?
There are three 'Off' states on the Zumo XT:
1) With a short press on the On/Off button, the unit (only) goes into standby...
2) When it looses power in the motorcycle mount, it will show a dialogue box, asking if you would like the Zumo XT to stay active - after 10 seconds it goes into standby...
3) When you long press the On/Off button a dialogue box appears on the screen, asking if you really will shut down the Zumo XT! Only than it is really shut off...
My Zumo XT ist a first-batch-unit - when it's fully loaded, 'standby-mode' holds the power for about 2 - 3 weeks, in 'really-off-mode' it holds power for at least a minimum of 3 - 4 months...

Re: Battery Life when switched off
Pretty sure they were fully off, but thanks for the prompt, I'll be sure to check next time, much appreciated.
