Battery consumption normal ?

Former Member over 5 years ago

I have recently( 1 week ago) purchased Garmin 245 Music.(v 3.70)
While running with GPS and music on, battery loses 20 % in one hour.
Is it normal ?
Apart from running hour drain, rest of day approx 10%-12% battery is drained.

The music streaming uses a lot of battery, so yes this is normal usage.

Thanks

I use music-Spotify(offline) without phone while running.

The thing is that, I have to recharge every 3rd day or earlier currently .

Is there any chance of battery improvement with 4.0 update which so far is not released for Asia-Pacific?
