 Garmin Zumo 550 Lithium Ion Battery Pack Every Garmin product is designed to meet the most demanding standard: customers’ satisfaction. That’s why Garmin equipment is manufactured to give you reliable service for years to come, with intuitive features you can grow into over time - all at a price you can afford.
Customer Review: Don’t expect to quickly swap out batteries
This is really a criticism of the Zumo, and not the battery. I purchased this at the same time I ordered my Zumo 550, expecting that I’d be able to charge multiple batteries and swap out batteries if one ran low. No such luck, as the Zumo’s design doesn’t allow for quick and easy battery swapping. Fortunately, it ended up being easy to wire the Zumo up to get power directly from my motorcycle’s battery.
Customer Review: Garmin Zumo replacement battery
To all owners of Garmin Zumo GPS units… If your internal battery that allows you to use your GPS while not attached to an external power source, such as your car/ bike cradle, has not failed yet. Congratulations, but, it’s just a matter of time. Be prepared for sticker shock when inquiring at Garmin for a replacement battery, however, once again, Amazon comes though saving you $$ and time by ordering on-line. This product is an excellent value and I was surprised to see it was the same genuine “Garmin Product” at a great savings.
