Default Garmin 396 battery question

I found that I deep cycle the battery by running the gps until it

firmware from garmin.


Paul has the right idea. I know several people with the same problem.
Originally, Garmin was sending them new batteries, but that didn't help.
It's some kind of bug in the software. As you continue cycling the battery,
the display should get a little better each time.
