My VIA 1535 started acting up after a few months service (intermittent use), the unit says low battery then shuts down, sometimes restarting it would get it going, but recently it flat died and would not start up at all. I read of battery problems for some of these units and replaced the battery with a new one (correct type/size), and computer charged it? for several hours, I made a trip today of about 2.5 hours and it worked perfectly. On the return trip I forgot to plug it in and it lasted about 10 mins. and now acts as it did previously, ie, it will only stay on a few seconds, then low battery alert and shut down.
I am in the process of wall charging the unit now with a 5 volt charger, it shows a charging battery and I'll leave it on a while, but don't have any faith that it will "cure" the problem> Looking for comments> Is there anyway to accurately check the car charging cord, it has the traffic gizmo on it? hipirn
