I have a BV9600 that I use for off-line navigation. I've had it for 3 years, used it for thousands of motorcycle miles on and off road, and never had a single issue. It's been very solid. I usually charge it wirelessly though.
i din' no dat!
standard usb charger cables don't fit the phone, i assumed it had something to do with the waterproofing on the port. if it ever broke, thought i might have to trim the plastic plug housing on another cable. that was wrong.
replacement is $8 on amazon

but it's just a longer standard-profile usb. looks like the type-C is a new shape with no up/down.

the charger tip that came with the BV4900 looks like a regular USB connector, but about 1mm longer than standard.
