Garmin GNC 155XL
A number of possible answers to this problem.
There could be an issue with the power supply that has a fracture and breaks the connection due to vibration.
There could be an issue with the connection to the holding tray/rack. Sometimes the connections become tarnished and dirty. Re-Rack the set by removing it from the tray. If you can, use some contact cleaner on the gold connectors at the back of the set, or wipe the contacts with some WD40 oil or similar. Replace the set and ensure it is fully 'home'. Do Not use Avgas to clean the contacts.
Lastly, you may have a problem with the internal power module or another component overheating. This can be caused if the unit is racked in the middle of a stack of radio equipment, particularly old equipment like old King or Narco sets. If you can check your radio stack has a proper cooling system, often just a pipe that blows outside air in the direction of the stack, but better is side cooling panels that attach to the side of the radio stack and force cooling air into and around the sets. Many Cessna Aircraft use this arrangement. If you look at the side of a Cessna 172 just forward of the cabin door you will see a small air scoop on the side just before the cowling. This air scoop supplies fresh cooling air to the radio side panels.
Garmin nuvi says low battery and it is plugged into the car
The Garmin will tell you 'Low Battery' if its alternative power source is not available for some reason, so the battery is not being charged. Depending how the Garmin has been programmed, the display on some models will become slightly brighter when a power supply, other than its own batteries, is detected. Check for this.
It is likely that the lead you use to plug into the car is not supplying voltage to your Garmin set. If it plugs into a cigarette holder, check that the cigarette lighter works, or plug in another device to see if there is any electricity to the receptacle. Obviously ensure that the ignition switch is on. If the plug-in bit of the power cable has a light on it, check the light is illuminated. if you have a sensitive tongue, you should be able to put the end of the lead that plugs into the Garmin onto your tongue and you will feel a very slight tingle on your tongue if power is getting to the end of the lead. If not, then there is probably a break in the lead inside the plastic insulation or a problem with the supply plug.
If the plug in lead proves serviceable then you should change the batteries in Garmin as one or more may have failed and will not charge. Check for this by leaving the unit on after unplugging the external supply lead. Depending on the Garmin you have, the unit should remain functioning for at least 30 minutes. The internal batteries will degrade rapidly if the unit has not been use for some time and the batteries were not fully charged before you put it to bed.

I recommend that you will post your question under
the correct category (GPS devices) and maybe add more details to it, so it will
be easier for Experts to understand the question and answer it.You can also contact the site directly at: http://www.garmin.com/us/support/contact
