I'm just wondering what sort of battery life you are getting out of your 720. I realize that brightness, bluetooth, volume and other settings can vary life by large amounts.
screen 60%
B/tooth on
2 hours is about the maximum that I have had, not quite 5 hours

45 minutes the last time I tried this, but I did have everything switched on and was using Bluetooth to stream the audio from the device to the car deck, this seems to hammer the battery, I usually plug it in to the car socket in use though (as intended) - Mike |

since the latest application release the battery on my 720 runs down in about 30mins, and runs completely flat if I do not use it for a few days. |

Personally I’m very pleased with my 720 battery life. However, we all know that the battery life depends on what recourses one is using. For instance I have driven for 4 ½ hours at night with my 720 on its dimmest setting with no trouble at all. On that occasion I had forgotten the car power lead and never thought my 720 would manage such a journey. But, I now always keep the power lead in the glove compartment _________________ Tomtom Go 720.

Exactly 2 hours on brightest.
I keep the power lead in my car - so not a problem. |
