Hey again Lee! Sorry you're having such a tough time with your Garmin... If you're having trouble holding a charge it may be a problem with your cable adapter. Check the fuse in your cable adapter to make sure it is still functioning. If that is not the problem then it may be a problem with your battery. The battery will not hold a charge if it has been exposed to direct sunlight for too long or has been in a hot environment. You may consult the troubleshooting page [[Garmin Nuvi 265WT Troubleshooting|here]] if you would like. I hope this answer was helpful! Good luck!
