Charging during activity on Fenix 5 ends and saves activity

Hi I run ultra long distances with up to 28 hours of activity.

When I charge it automatically stops my activity and saves.

Surely there must be a way to do this without ending your activity?

  • Settings->System->USB Mode->Garmin.  You are most likely in Mass Storage mode.  When in Garmin mode, you should be able to continue an activity.  If I recall, if in Garmin mode and plugged in it will ask if you want to continue in Garmin or switch mode - obviously stick with Garmin.
