I'm presuming that the battery on my 522GW has finally given up the ghost...
It's about 18 months old, and upon removing the dashcam from the car - you switch the camera on and it instantly flashes the battery symbol and shuts down after about 5 seconds.
I've taken in inside, and left it on charge overnight - but as soon as you unplug it from the mains - you get (if lucky) 15 seconds before it shuts back down again with a flat battery.
Works ok IN the car, as long as it's plugged in - and I get both the BLUE and RED lights on when driving....
Assuming that it IS the battery - how easy are they to replace and is it a DIY job*??
*I did have a 512 with a knackered battery, and tried to replace that - but it broke!!!
