Nuvi 670 Turns itself off

Yesterday I downloaded a map update and a software update. After disconnecting from the computer I turned the unit on but after about a minute or two the unit turned itself off. After turning it for a second time I noticed that the battery indicator was only showing one green bar, so I connected the unit to a battery charger. After the battery indicator showed all green bars I disconnected the charger and switched off the unit. I then turned the unit back on, all power bars were green, but again after about two minutes the unit turned it self off, so I turned it on again the battery indicator was showing only one green bar and after two minutes the unit turned it self off.
Any idea what the problem could be?
Could it be that the battery needs replacing?

    I have exactly the same problem...

    I have exactly the same problem. After updating the software and the maps the 670 unit will just shut down after a couple of minutes. Is there a fix for that? Everything was working fine & normal BEFORE the software and maps were updated. Please let me know if there is any information on this problem. Thanks!

    Nuvi 650 Shuts itself off

    I have similar issue with a Nuvi 650. It stays on if connected by power cord, but shuts off after apprs 30 sec. on battery. Battery shows all grren bars at first, then only one bar after it is turned back on. Have not updated map so that should not be a factor, but this issue may have occurred after I updated the firmware.....not sure. Seems like the battery is not holding much charge.
