[gps-talkusers] Re: e: Re: Holux GPSlim236 battery care

Hi all,
I'm sorry to be continuing this conversation, but I'm still having
bunches of problems. Here's what I know:
1. The Holux seems to work a couple of times after being charged.
Then, it no longer is recognized by the GPS program in the BN. That is
to say it never finds the Holux.
2 Only after charging for another two hours or so will the Holux work
well again. And this only happens for a short time.

What do you all suggest I do? I'm going to call and do one of these
two today, so your suggestions are needed. One, buy a battery? Or two,
buy a new receiver?

Thanks again for all help.
