<p>The standby battery time from a full charge is around 10
days.</p>
<p>Charging the unit the night before would be ideal but you can
still just connect to your vehicle and use on the day of the
trip.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply.</p>
<p>So using the Power Off Made to turn off the unit still only puts
the unit in a standby mode?</p>
<p>What is the difference between that and the Sleep Mode?</p>
<p>Is there any way to fully power off the unit? Or is it OK to
leave it with the battery fully flat for a long period?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>When you "power off" the unit power is still applied to the GPS
receiver to maintain the satellite data to enable a fast lock when
you turn the unit back on, this is why the battery will eventually
go flat.</p>
<p>Putting unit into "sleep mode" enables the user to quickly enter
the main menu without having to go through the booting process,
similar to putting your home PC into sleep mode.</p>
<p>There is no provision to completely power the unit or remove the
battery, with the current lithium ion battery formulation it is OK
to leave flat, they have a low voltage cutoff on them which stops
the battery from supplying any power below a certain level.</p>
