Default Garmin 396 battery question

I bought a 396 at Osh this summer and the battery never shows more
than half charge on the meter. However, if I just let it run, it runs
to its full time, so apparently the internal meter needs to be reset.
Anybody know how to do that? Yep, I did read the manual, couldn't
find anything.

Might try Garmin support. They are usually helpful.

I found that I deep cycle the battery by running the gps until it
dies, then recharge, each recharge is a little better. After 3
cycles, it's now up to about 95%. It also helped to download new
firmware from garmin.
