Hello OB

I am after some feedback / input on the Hema Navigator HN7 battery Life if you own one. https://www.hemamaps.com/navigate/hn7

I was just wanting to know how long your battery lasts when doing either of the following.
1. Setup and configuration.
2. Route planning.

Reason for my question is…
I purchased a new Hema Navigator HN7 direct from Hema and did the following…
1. Unboxed Hema Navigator HN7
2. Charged device for 24 Hours. Read manual while charging.
3. Updated all firmware and maps via Naviextras

Now this where my battery only lasted 15 mins.
Battery indicator was showing 100% before starting any of the following tests.
4. Unplugged from power.
5. View and changed device settings. As per the manual. Battery was flat in 15 mins.

Recharged device.
6. Unplugged from power.
7. Planned a map route and battery was flat again in 15 mins.

Recharged device.
8. Unplugged from power.
9. Test drive and Hema Navigator HN7 lasted between 15 to 30 mins.

I am just wanting to find out if this is "NORMAL" with other peoples Hema Navigator HN7s. If it is I will just grin and bear it.

I have sent it back to Hema for warranty on the battery and they have sent it back with "no fault found" with the battery. Just waiting on its return to see if anything has changed.

Thank you for your time
Colin
