Does anyone know the battery life & cycles 'how many times it can be charged' on Versa 1 please?

 

I tried asking tech support but clearly this is something they either do not want to let on 'make public knowledge' or they genuinely do not know the answer to.

 

I'm asking as my Versa 1 is now just over 17 months old and the 3 - 4 day battery life is now down to 2 - 3 days between charging. GPS battery life used to be close to 24 hours. I'm lucky to get at best 14 hours now.

 

Trying to work out how long it will be before the battery 'that is non replaceable' does fail.

That really depends on how low you let it go before charging or whether your charge it when it doesn't need to be charged. There are plenty of articles on how to properly charge a lithium ion battery for best lifespan.

Hi,

 

Yes Googled and a long time ago about charge cycles lithium ion for correct & wrong ways to do so & I have adhered to that advice. 

 

Full discharge to full charge 'do not charge between cycles' & I absolutely do not overcharge  99% to 100% and disconnect.

 

I too only use genuine Apple or Samsung 'regulated' USB chargers.  I too have in the circuit a device that monitors voltage & amperage output of said USB charger.  You can get these off Amazon.

 

So the battery in my Versa 1 at 17 months old. The big question remains:  How long before it 100% fails on me?
