Hi!
It is true that the autonomy of the 1040 means that it is not often plugged into an outlet to recharge it, but as soon as it has to be done, the charging process is a bizarre affair where the 1040 never behaves the same .
I would like to point out that I always use the famous "special" Garmin cable...
Yesterday the 1040 was at 20%, so I decided to recharge it under supervision.
I plug it in, it turns on directly and arrives at the home page, I turn it off, and it restarts instantly, annoyed, I put it to load on the computer, there it cuts off and arrives at the page where the battery % is indicated.
Half an hour later it is at 22%, I unplug it, turn it back on, and it remains stuck loading the cards, I wait 5 long minutes, still stuck, so I decide to press the button for a long time power, it restarts and surprise, it is no longer at 22% it is at 35% battery capacity.
I decide to continue charging on the adapter, I plug it in, the GPS starts, I decide to continue charging with the screen on even if I don't like it, and I notice that the little battery icon with it lights up indicating When the charging process is started, this little light just turns on and off, this lasted about 15 seconds, then it stopped and the little light remained displayed.
1 hour later, the 1040 was at 37%, or 2% more, I decided to unplug the adapter and plug it back in 30 seconds later, and there instantly I saw the charge indication in the menu go from 37% to 85 %.
So I understand that the 1040 charges, but why on earth does the battery % refresh not happen instantly like my edge 830? And why has Garmin after all these updates still not found a solution to keep the GPS off after connecting it to an adapter? and also display the % of charge with a refresh every 1% like any device that needs to be recharged? My FR945 and my edge 830 work like this, why doesn't the 1040 do it!!!!!
Finally, I leave the 1040 charging in the evening, hoping that it is at 100% because it is impossible to check it without refreshing, even with the screen on.
And strange thing before going to bed the 1040 was off, I unplugged it, tried to turn it on, the GPS did not turn on, I pressed the power button several times, the 1040 decided not to turn on anymore and remains on a perfectly blank screen.
So I press the power button for a long time, at least 20 seconds, and miraculously he wakes up from his coma at 99% battery, not 100%, this 1040s is a joke!
Am I the only one who has such weird behavior when loading the 1040?
