    I "upgraded" from Ellipsis 7 to 8. I use the Ellipsis for GPS Nav in my work van. I have it plugged in to a high quality charger the whole time. The device states "plugged in on AC" and "charging". But after one full hour of driving the battery level goes from 100% down to 80%, two hours down to...
