How long does my Garmin 200W take to fully charge for the first time?

Question

I have connected an AC adapter to the nuvi and a wall outlet. How long does it take to fully charge for the first time? How often will I need to recharge and will it tell me? This is all new to me as I do not have a power outlet in my car.

Thank you.

Answer 1

look in the manual i would say 2-3 hours. good choice on the garmin 200W with out a power outlet in your car don't take any long trips. lol

Answer 2

My nuvi 200 took about 2-3 hours to charge the first time.  On the menu screen there is a battery meter that shows you how much power remains.  When the battery gets low, it will make a noise and put up a warning.  What do you mean you don't have a power outlet in your car?  You don't have a cigarette lighter outlet?  I only use that to power my nuvi when I'm on a trip that lasts longer than 5 hours, which is how long the nuvi's battery lasts.

Answer 3

i guess it takes quite a while

Answer 4

It depends on the current(A) capacity of adapter. If you use an 1A to recharge the unit, it needs to take 4 hours at least.

If you use an 1.5A to recharge it, it just needs 2-2.5hours.
