Has the battery drain issue been addressed?

Garmin tech, is there a provision to pin a software version? If I am on a working version I want the option to refuse further updates that will likely break current functionality. We shouldn't be forced…

does the update with Garmin Express come with conect at the same time, or is it always possible to update there?

Since sw 6.90, my battery life decreased from 5/6 days, to less than 24 hours. Neither 6.94, nor 7.0 nor 7.20 fixed the issue.

Have you filed a support claim? I would def file one. The battery may be defective.

Can anyone confirm how the battery life performance is on this one?

0 ge_bil over 5 years ago in reply to Raymond Ilano

I don't get this kind of reply while the forum is filled since 6.90 with complaints on the battery, while people who got a refurbished unit still complaint for the battery, while even 3M users complaint about the battery after the latest updates, while even the 4 series users complaint about the battery after recent updates

The question should be, is GARMIN listening ?

Just got 7.2. So far so good.

To be fair, it could be selection bias since people with no problems are less likely to throng these forums. It seriously doesn't seem to be the case for me. I am on 6.9 and my battery does a decent job so far (touch wood). I think It is a valid question - if you find it invalid, you can always ignore it, my friend!
