you won't lose anything. the tomtom is like a computer, shut it down right and everything is there when you fire it back up. The system files and the map are all stored in files on the sd card and also on the internal memory chip and they'll be there when you get the new battery installed.

Which battery do I need

My tomtom one died I think it's the battery after looking on the internet I found there are several batteriers to choose from my is a 1100 mah I found there is a 1350 mah, 1200 mah and a 1400 mah, all are 3.7 volts do I have to use the 1100 mah or can I use one of the others and is one better than the other. if some one knows please let me know prior to me ordering thanks.

I would think the more the mah - the better. You need to be careful about the size (see earlier post on this).

I would still like to know the mah on the x20-30 series compared to the older x91 series. The newer units have a terrible battery life, and I wonder if they downsized the mah, and if so, are there higher mah batteries available?

PS - suspicions confirmed!

I just went to a battery vendor site and noted the x10 series replacement batteries are all 2300 mah, while the ONE's are listed at only 1200 mah. The electronics of the units are basically the same, so that totally explains why my useful unconnected life was 3-4 hours on my 910 and is only 1/2 of that on my 920. And on top of that, they advertised 4 hours on the 910 and 5 hours on the x20-30's.

TomTom - can you say "class action..." ?
