    Hi
    @kalmartato
    One of the worst things you can do to a Lithium battery is to run it flat or store it in a flat state....
    The lager capacity battery of the NAV4 & NAV5 Rider devices, will take longer than a NAV4 & NAV5 Car device to fully charge....
    Better to use a Mains USB Charger a PC USB Port only outputs 0.5 Amp or 500mA

    Have you tried a Soft/Drum roll restart on the device ??? This restarts the devices Operating System afresh

    Charge the device for at least 3Hrs plus….
    (Preferably using something like a Smartphone Charger using the Tomtom USB lead)
    OR have the device plugged into a power supply while the device is restarting
    Press and hold the on/off button until you hear a drum-roll sound then release the on/off button.
    You won’t lose anything; it’s just like rebooting your PC
    I use a Soft/drum-roll start after any upgrade large or small.
    It’s also useful to keep in mind for sorting out most minor niggles....

    If possible....
