Re: Experiences and opinions about the integrated battery

I have used the 66sr a few more times with settings I need for my use:
Backlight brightness 10%
Backlight time out 30 seconds
Battery Save mode on
Wi-Fi off
Bluetooth on
Ant+ Sens off
Compass on
Multi GNSS and Multi Band on
Altimeter – Pressure Trending is ‘Save When On’.
Looking at map screen several times per hour.
100% of the time recording a track.
Occasionally navigating to a geocache using both map and compass.
Reading cache descriptions and logs.
Marking a few waypoints.
The rate of discharge indicates that even with this usage, I should get 12 to 14 hours of battery life. So enough so that I will not have to worry about draining it in a day, or even a couple of days. Because I can almost always charge every night, I am not planning to add a portable charging bank to my backpack.
