HRM-Pro and battery life

mixuli
over 3 years ago

I've HRM-pro and just run out of the third battery within a year. Is this normal? The most interesting part is that no more battery warning. The battery life goes from good to zero overnight.

When you wake up at 4am to go for a run and no signal from the HRM belt, the aggravation level good up quite a bit Grinning

    I have had the same problem with the battery, and druing a run where I sweated more than usual it started to have connection issues and after that the band became useless. It´s not connection to my watch anymore and it shows up in teh garmin connect app but can´t pair anymore. I have wahoo ticker x as well and that has no problem.

    So, just saw this thread and I changed the battery on my hrm run and three days later it was dead….changed the battery again and it worked for another 3 days….so, I’m wondering, is it possible that something in the strap is causing the battery to constantly be connected/ run (no pun intended)…because it doesn’t make sense the battery is completely dead in 3 days….obviously I could get new strap or take the battery out after I run and just stick it back in before my next run…..just wondering if anyone has found a solution to this problem?

    When changing the battery makes no difference, likely it's cracked on the inside, as mentioned in this thread - HRM-Tri micro cracks always on upper right screw - design flaw or user improper use?

    Garmin replaced my HRM-Run twice under warranty, until it was eventually out of the warranty period. Fortunately, the latest HRM-Pro Plus has changed this design.

    Appreciate the response….will just have to take battery out after each use until I get a new one….you try the new hrm pro plus? I think that’s what it is called….with no screws?

    I have the Pro-Plus, Just had to do a battery change. Very easy and had no issues. Definitely easier than the screws..

    I’ve now had exactly the same problem with three brand new batteries for my hrm pro. Each battery is dead after 1week . Previously a battery would last more than a year.

    is it possible to force a firmware update / reset?

    Same problem.

    no more battery status, always 100% and battery seem discharging in 1 week (three runs).

    Exactly 2 years of use, after lose of  the warranty coverage

    Have you tried contacting Garmin Support? There are several people having problems and it is known to Garmin. They might replace.

    No because  I doesn't have warranty coverage (ended 1 month ago).

    Some year ago I tried to contact Garmin Support for a problem at the watch(out of warranty) they can retire the product but I have to pay all the expenses, to send and repair it.

    But i can try again.
