Version 7.00 battery drain?

Hello,

Yesterday I rode for 7 hours and when got home battery was less than 30%. Today a 3h ride the battery went from 98% to 65%. That’s 10% average per hour.

previously with the same sensors and livetrack I was getting 5-6% battery drain in an hour, even with navigation on. 

Anyone else is having the same problem?

thanks!

    Hello AEDeven,

    I never saw that much decrease in battery life. Up to 10% with LT (Live Track), varia, power, HR and front Bontrager light, 1s recording, auto backlight and GPS+GLONASS.

    But yes, it seems to me that v7.00 is more battery hungry than previous versions, maybe due to LT changes? In this version LT has never failed me, while previous versions would struggle. The unit now starts live track automatically instead of waiting for the phone I believe.

    My 830 is now almost one and a half year of use. I am about to receive a brand new from a friend, I'll check if that is influencing somehow.

    I'm curious if it will make a difference. I'll read it here.

    I’m still getting around 12-13 hours effective ride time with a single charge on v7.00. Something is really off, I just don’t know what it is.
