Why does my Vagabond II keep beeping after 15-20 pop???? is the battery going bad??? I have the unit for 3 years......

Does the VB beep and keep running or beep and turn itself off? It sounds like it is probably a dead / worn-out battery.

Agreed. The beep is a low battery indicator. If the unit is thought to be fully charged, and it is happening, then the battery is likely charged to the most capacity possible in its current state, but that may be far below the original state. The B20A battery is rated for 500 deep discharge cycles, but that may be greatly reduced by storage and charging habits, damage to the battery itself, or other factors.

If the unit has beed working reliably until now, then a replacement battery is likely all that is wrong.

Thanks so much for the help, I need to order a new one.........
