Garmin Edge 800 Battery Life

[Rob_T]

wondering if anyone has experience of the max battery life of this device.

i am cycling about 130 miles next weekend and am going to be totally relying on the os map function. backlight will be off, but i reckon the ride will take about 10 hours including a stop for lunch. i'm planning a leisurly pace through country roads where i can easily get lost.

put simply, will that battery last this long, or am i destined to get utterly lost!

Iirc the battery life is 15 hours.

I did nearly 2 hours yesterday and it was still on roughly 90%.

Shouldn't be a problem, I don't think.

I've regularly done at least 10 hours spread out over a number of commutes without charging mine, and still had plenty of battery life left.

The only caveat to this is that unsurprisingly I don't need to use the navigation function on my commute, so I don't know if that sucks out more battery life?

I do an hour-a-day commute and can leave it up to 3 weeks before it needs a re-charge
