Battery Options

Thought I would share here after my exploits last weekend as I haven’t seen it talked about.

For those worried about battery life in performance mode, I HIGHLY recommend using the display timeout functionality under custom battery mode.

23 hour effort and I think I finished with about 35-40% battery left which puts it well over the quoted performance spec (performance + timeout + hr belt)

@stromdiddily and also combine this with GPS+QZSS setting.

Also the type of sport can help. I noticed the running profile is much more optimized compared to other sport modes in performance mode.

@surfboomerang yes good point about GPS. I only use the GPS only setting to get the most out of it.

I was using a custom hiking profile, seemed to do ok.

I also think that at such a long duration the need to look at the screen is smaller.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos 100% agreed. Disabled autolap too which is maybe worth mentioning.
