battery life on dash

---

hey, just wondering what everybody's experience with the battery life has been? for some reason, my dash completely ran out of battery yesterday afternoon (i charge it every night, bluetooth was never on, wifi was used a few times during the day). i'm wondering if this is normal, and i need to get a new battery, or just a fluke.

i guess the main thing i'm geting at, is can you use the dash (wifi periodically throughout day), and have it last you all day? i'm used to nokia's, where the battery lasts for 2-3 days. thanks

I charge my dash every day more times, due to the fact that I offen use wifi on it, so I think its normal to gharge it more times a day when you use the wifi on it.

hi

i bought the dash in the usa and experienced exactly the same. i had to charge it every day.
now i am back in germany and i must say, that the battery life doubled at least. i can survive a weekend without charging. even with bluetooth or wifi usage. i even leave bluetooth turned on constantly because i am having a bt headset in the car which connects automatically.

i thing, that it is the bad coverage which leads to that poor battery life.

thanks guys, and wow, i didnt think that the carrier played such a huge role in battery life!

I can usually go 2-3 days without a charge. Anything more than that, and I start getting the nasty warnings that the power monster is coming to eat all my data.

I don't have much loaded on my unit that I could not replace quickly (All my contacts are brought in from Outlook via DirectPush) so if it crashes, it's not a deal breaker for me.

same here can use if for approximately 2-3 days depending on usage. overall i am happy with the batter life. i use my device quite a lot.
