I find one of these type of chargers useful to see how well something is charging / cable falling etc etc:

Yes. Down at the bottom right of the screen are three boxes. They may lack text. The left Box exits. The middle box test graphic movement and screen input (touch capacitance appears as white dots. Third box test white balance. If you go into the middle box you wont get out unless you power off the unit; as best as Ive determined.

Re: How to tell if ZumoXT is fully charged
I have a new Zumo XT with SW ver. 6.50. I have it charging off a wall plug and these are the numbers I am getting. The Batt Current is peaking at ~ 38mA. Does this seem right? I am concerned as it appears to be losing charge sitting on the desk. I am pretty sure it was turned off, but I will check when it is charged.

Re: How to tell if ZumoXT is fully charged
I don't know what the battery current should be, but when you're switching it off, are you doing it by pressing down the power button on the back and when the prompt shows, selecting "off"?Aushiker wrote: ↑02 Feb 2023 11:02 I have a new Zumo XT with SW ver. 6.50.

Re: How to tell if ZumoXT is fully charged
An update:
I charged the unit over night and this morning it was showing 90% battery capacity. I turned off the unit via the proper procedure, left the unit off for two hours and then turned it back on and the Battery Capacity is now showing 88%.
Would this be considered normal?
Regards
Andrew

Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !
