Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a Varia radar for my bike and even though it says up to 15 hours of battery life is expected in day flash mode (which is what I use). I am only able to achieve appx. 9.5 hours which is really far off the 15 hours that Garmin states.
All my other Garmin devices meet their specs in terms of battery life so I am wondering what may be wrong, for reference, I am using an Edge 1030 head unit with the radar. I was wondering what everyone's battery life is like as I think there may be something wrong with my unit. Most of my riding has been on the trail with only a couple of those hours in city traffic.
I am pleased with the radar and it's general performance and reliability, however, this is slightly disappointing.
Slightly off tangent, is it possible to disable the radar while only keeping the rear light on? This aspect does not seem possible in my case and it would make sense on trails.
