Does anyone know how to establish the state of charge of a RBT3000?

The low battery warning light on my unit is very faint and the receiver has several times switched itself off abruptly.

AFAIK, there is no way. The problem with most BT GPS Receivers is that they don't give a visual warning earlier enough. Most of the ones we have tested the red/orange light will come on and within a few minutes it dies.

I think really most BT GPS Receivers or anything with batteries in should have a battery checker. Even if the battery light flashed quickly 3 times for a full charge, 2 for half a charge and 1 for below quarter of a charge, it would suffice.

I have found it difficult to judge how much power is left within the RBT3000.
