Edge 1040 Battery Life Expectations
The battery life of your Edge® cycling computer may be impacted by the usage of features within the product or the manner in which it is used. The information in the tables below is presented to help outline the conditions used to determine the estimated battery life specification. The additional usage of these features or other features not included below may result in reduced battery life. The information presented below is presented as a general guide for reference only on the Edge® 1040 cycling computer.
Select a use case scenario below for details on battery life expectations:
1 Battery Saver Backlight - The backlight brightness and timeout settings do not automatically change when Battery Saver is enabled. Users may change the backlight brightness after enabling Battery Saver by selecting Reduce Backlight in the Battery Saver menu. Users may change the backlight timeout through System->Display. Leaving the brightness set to Auto and timeout set to Stays On may result in a reduction in battery life.
2Following a Course - Each course is unique in regard to the number and type of alerts generated. The number of alerts generated by the course will impact battery life. Courses that generate a large number or frequent alerts will consume more battery life than courses with fewer turns or alerts.
3 The usage of a Garmin Varia Rearview Radar with your Edge device may result in an additional reduction in battery life. This potential, additional reduction in battery life will vary depending upon traffic conditions and the number of vehicles in the vicinity of the radar device during operation.
