It fits the Driveluxe 50 LMTHD (010-01531-00), DriveAssist 50 LMT-D, and DriveAssist 51 LMTS. Swap it in when your unit shuts off unexpectedly, won't hold a charge, or won't power on at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDriveluxe 50 and DriveAssist series fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same 3.7V cell format, connector pin-out, and BMS communication protocol — one battery part number covers the full group. No adapter or wiring change needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on a Driveluxe 50 unit. The BMS accepted the cell without fault codes, charge termination fired correctly at 4.2V, and the protection circuit tripped as expected on over-discharge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-use satellite acquisition tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this cell, power the unit on outdoors and let it acquire a satellite fix before driving. A full power interruption forces a cold start — first fix can take 5 to 10 minutes. Subsequent warm starts drop to under a minute once the almanac data is cached.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eDriveluxe 50 shutting off without warning before the battery indicator hits zero\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Driveluxe 50 uses a voltage-threshold model to estimate remaining charge. When the original cell ages, its internal resistance rises and voltage sags under the load of active GPS reception and display brightness. The unit reads that sag as a low-battery condition and cuts power before the on-screen indicator reaches the empty mark. A new cell with lower internal resistance holds voltage steadier under load, so the displayed level tracks actual charge more accurately and the abrupt cut-off stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eGPS accuracy dropping and receiver sensitivity reducing at low battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eAt low state-of-charge, some Garmin navigators reduce power to the GPS receiver module to extend remaining run time. That reduction lowers signal sensitivity, which can widen position error or cause the unit to drop satellite lock in weak-signal areas like urban canyons or car parks. The fix is straightforward — keep the battery charged above the point where the unit triggers power-saving behaviour. If accuracy issues appear, check battery voltage: anything below 3.6V under active navigation load means the cell needs charging or replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43377591812186,"sku":"BWCS-GMX500SL-1","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43377591844954,"sku":"BWCS-GMX500SL-2","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43377591877722,"sku":"BWCS-GMX500SL-3","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-GMX500SL-1.webp?v=1778771731","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/garmin-driveluxe-50-lmthd-replacement-battery-37v-750mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
