So I know there are a bunch of battery threads already but the point of this one is to try to understand the impact of certain known features on battery life cycles.
For example, Garmin states that the 945 should get about 10 hours of life with both GPS and Music playing through a Bluetooth connection. I've pretty well corroborated that assertion on my own over countless runs with music where I use battery at a rate of about 10% per hour.
Has anyone been able to substantiate battery drain standards for any of these other scenarios?
- Carrying a phone thus a constant Bluetooth connection
- 1 sec recording vs "Smart" recording
- Navigating a course with a map field included in available data fields.
- Navigating a course withOUT a map field included in available data fields.
- Using a Map field as an available data field but NOT Navigating a course.
- Climbpro?
- Autoclimb?
- Certain CIQ data fields? Such as: Stryd power? The many multifield datafields like Datarun etc.
adding a few others after the original post:
- GPS vs GPS+Glonass or GPS+Galileo
- On board HRM vs External HRM
- Using a CIQ Watchface (but not having it displayed in the activity - strange I know, but I suspect it has an impact)
