Charging Nuvi 760 for the first time: I've plugged my unit in with the USB cable and wonder how long will it take to charge?

the USB cable if used as a charger doesn't generate enough power to fully charge the unit, let alone display the status of the charge..... charge only using the AC adapter or the car cable. that will solve the problem.

I think the inital charge was about and hour and a half. Now it charges in about 20 mins, but I never let it run completey down.

There are multiple power and or charger cords and you need to consult the manual for NUVI 25577LT to secure the correct unit. The length is about 4 ft or a little more.

It usually takes around five to ten hours depending on the device that you are trying to charge.

6-7 hours or so for me - do yourself a favor and purchase a longer usb cable so you can charge while using when necessary.

I am sorry, I did not keep track of it, I left it over night charging and I went to bed, next day it was fully charged , my best guess it takes at least 4 to 5 hours.

My unit came charged out of the box, worked for a week and didnt even run out before I charged it overnight anyways. Aside from initial charge, which i didnt pay attention to how long it took, I have charged it from dead at night to full 7 hrs later when I woke up so definitely doesnt take 24 hrs to charge

I usually change it over the night, so I haven't counted the hours. But I guess it probably would take about 3 hours. BTW, the 110V power -> USB adapter is not included.

I think I had the same issue. We used all the charge (drained) then let it fully charge. I believe the first time took approximately 12-16 hours. It does not charge quickly.

It depends on your charger. Charging with a Computer USB port it can take up to 5-6 hours and charging with a more powerful Wall Charger it should be around 3 hours.

Hi, it took about 3-4 hours for the first time charging. When I charged the pack, before I used it, all the lights were on except one. I would wait a couple of hours and if the status has not changed, it might be defective.

I actually don't know how long it takes - I usually just plug it in over night and it's charged by morning.

Thanks, DS. Garmin's reply to me was that i must be using a non-Garmin charger. I'm using the charger that came in the box! This thing is brand new. I just let them know that and I'll post back with their reply.

So far, charge has not been a problem. I keep my charge cable at work, where I'm the least active. When I finally sit down in the morning for a long stretch, I put the Pulse on the charger and top it off. So far, I've never seen less than 44% charge and that was over a long weekend (3 days off the charger).

If you are using the GPS when driving, then you are likely plugging it into the auxiliary thingy in the car. You can also plug it in to your computer, as others mentioned. If you don't use the GPS for a while, you may wind up with a low battery and it will take a few minutes to charge. Meanwhile the screen will not be fully lit - your GPS is working fine, and it will brighten up as it acquires its charge.

I will charge mine and find out. I would say a few hours best guess. The fans don't seem very demanding but I'll let you know.
