I have a Garmin 50 GPS that I bought in July, 2017. We were getting ready to take a trip and went to try it out. All that showed up on the battery status icon (in the right upper corner of the screen) was an empty battery symbol with a lightning bolt. Tried charging it for several hours with no luck. It works when it is attached to external power (car or wall socket). It will not come on on its' own.
I'm assuming the battery is defective? Kind of hard to believe after slightly over a year of service. It has worked fine up to now. It was stored carefully - no heat or adverse conditions.
By the way, it was utterly impossible to find out on the Garmin website what the lightning bolt symbol meant.
