Anyone own a BMW Navigator IV (Is the battery replaceable?)

[Philiptigerrice]

As above really - I'm looking at a used one, that may need a replacement battery.


Are they internalised and therefore can't be swapped out - or can they be replaced?


If anyone does have one, a photo of the battery with size and type would be much appreciated - or even better a link to a replacement for costing!


Many thanks (thumbs)

Typical - I've found it

The Zumo 660 battery fits it - £25 ish...


D'oh.

Yes and bought two batteries from Amazon, surprisingly it fixed loads of problems with it switching off when it was on the charging mount.

Good stuff - do you hve a link to the amazon batteries you bought? I did get a used Nav IV, and it seems really good so far - but always interested in spares (thumbs)

Hiya - I did replace the battery, but it was aaaages ago - I think it was a Zumo 660 battery - but I forget now.
Anyways - it was fine, but I fancied an upgrade, and flogged it and a few other bits in the garage and upgraded to a shiney new (ish) Nav V.
Olly - if you have a Nav IV kicking about - don't bin it - there's a healthy used market for them!

it takes forever to update if you miss a junction, also the distance count down is dreadful, 400 meters to a turn point counts down even if yer stopped

I have the IV and V and there are volumes of difference in the two models but the IV is still a very usuable tool.I paid £200 on one of the forums for the IV recently to install on the new GS and find its a good if basic tool but I think the battery is on the way out.Its dated 2010 so has lasted well but I think one of the cells is failing hence my query.
