I have a Nuvi 350 and a 765T. The 765T battery will only run the GPS for a short period of time compared to the 350. Is this a characteristic of the 765 or do I have a defective battery? It has been this way from the start. I would like to hear from other 765 owners. Thanks for any help.
Battery
I have a 765 that the battery lasts for a couple of hours.
How short of a period of time is your battery lasting?
short?

sounds like a battery issue
Search around on thesearch engine you prefer. It's an easy replacement; just make sure you get the right screwdriver - torx - I found mine at a Lowes - a multiple driver - like a t3 or t4.

As you can see, some get more than others. On Garmin's web site it will tell you how long it should last for your unit. Having said that, it also depends how you use it. Changing screens, using the converter, typing and so on. I would suggest that when Garmin says it will last up to 3 hrs, they would turn the screen brightness way down and anything else they can do to the unit to conserve power and then set it on the bench. More than likely in safe mode also. New, mine never got more than 45 minutes sitting idle. Others have had more luck. Not a biggy..its an automobile unit you bought, its meant to be plugged into the vehicle. Battery life is enough to find your car if need be if the unit has that function and some other little stuff. I wouldn't take it into the forest and expect it to show you the way back an hour or two later, wasn't designed for that. There are some articles in here on how to take care of your battery, to get the most life out of it. Hope that helps a bit. Use the link below.

lasts much, much longer...has less bells and whistles too. I have 350,360 and 370. Those batteries last much longer than the 255, 760, 765T and my 775T. Can't say much more than...they just do. While traveling, I always take at least two...sometimes three, mine do different things.The 360 I can rely to last a long while. The 775T I can rely to get me out of a spot in Europe...

Haven't really tested mine
I have a 765T and pretty much the only time it runs on battery is when my car charger becomes dislodged and I don't notice until the low battery warning comes on. So I really have no idea how long the battery lasts.
Endurance on battery
To answer the question on how long the battery will last on my 765. I think 30 minutes would be max, if that. The reason I like more time, on my 350 when we were camping in Yellowstone, I would use the 350 to play audio books on mp3 files at night. We were without electricity and that feature came in really handy. Take to bed with me and listen along with the night sounds. Pretty nice to do. That would not be possible with the 765 unless it was a very short book.

Mine lasts only about 45 min. to max. 1 hour and it is like that since it was new.

Looks like you need a new battery.

vk55....Do you have a 765?
vk55..Just wondering if you have a 765T? Mine has not been over 45 minutes of use on one charge since it was new. If you have a 765T, how much usage time do you get on one charge?
Jerry
yes, Jerry...

Yes, Jerry I do have 765T. On full charge I get up to 45 min. continous (MP3 playback) with screen off.
