NEW ONE WORSE THAN OLD ONE
New one worked at 100% for two months. Now it won't charge more than a half charge. This is WORSE than the old battery I threw out! Garbage!!!
Is this some ancient old stock that fails from being on the shelf too long before I bought it?
Pros: looks new
Cons: performs old
Recommend: NO

REPLACING PREMATURELY FAILING GARMIN BATTERY
The battery sold at gpscity is exactly as advertised and comes directly from Garmin. I am very disappointed in Garmin batteries. The original battery (identical to this one) lasted only 2 years. Consider the operating cost of your Garmin to include $30 per year for battery replacement assuming 2yr lifespan.
Pros: oem quality - no compatibility issues
Cons: expect same poor oem quality with repl. as orig.
Recommend: YES

SPARE BATTERY
The original battery seemed to be very poor at holding a charge. I purchased the second battery to see if there was something wrong with the original. Fortunately, the second battery works fine and for some reason the original battery has performed better also.
Pros: extra reassurance
Cons: expensive
Recommend: YES

BATTERY CAN BE FIXED
A dead 276C (or similar model) battery can be fixed if it is dead and showing the "Battery Missing" message. I posted some info with a link to photos on the NZ GPS forum here: forums.gps.org.nz/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4131

The battery for my Garmin 276C just died after 2yrs. I'm not very happy with its short life however I'm more upset with the fact that I can't find anyone that has replacements in stock. I contacted Garmin and they basically said I would just have to wait.

Battery failed to last more then 2 years. Within 18 months the battery fails to hold a charge. The GPS unit fails to recognize that there is a battery in place - indicates "battery missing". Not very happy with short life and no way to revive it.

My battery just died. I bought the Garmin GPSmap 276 back in June of 2004. Exactly 2 years of battery life. I use it regularly in the summer, and in 1 week during the winter. ( Florida trip)
Overall, I cant complain.
