Realistic battery life, fenix 5? - fēnix 5 Series - Garmin Forums
WEBI use my fenix 5 since about 5 weeks. I had a two day race last weekend on sat and sun, each day for approx. 11h 30min. navigation was always on (GPS only, no Glonass) and also wrist HRM was on. i charged the fenix 5 from sat to sun. After each raceday, battery was still at 50%. I guess, battery should give power for about 20-22h.
Realistic life cycle - How long will it last? - Garmin Forums
WEBI have had my Fenix 5 Plus for 2.5 years. As far as I can tell, it is as peppy today as it was the day I got it. I let the battery drop to about 20-30% before I recharge. I wear it 24/7. Record anywhere from 4 to 10 workout/events per week. Use 4 alarms every day. I’m hoping I’ll get 4 years out of it.

Battery life (or lack of) - fēnix 5 Series - Garmin Forums
WEBBattery life (or lack of) Tom900 over 5 years ago. Hi guys, I got my new fenix 5 two week ago, and the battery life has been pretty poor. I'm only getting 3-4 days between charges. That's with the HR always on and averaging a bit over 40 kms of running per week (so less than 4hrs of GPS). I'm also just using stock watchface.
Best practice for optimum battery life? - fēnix 5 Series - Garmin …
WEBA cycle is a 0% to 100% charge. So taking it from 30% to 80% would be half a cycle. But a weekly charge cycle for a typical user would mean 10 years to reach 500 cycles (at which point you would only experience a 20% drop in battery life, and I doubt many F5's will still be in use in 10 years time.

Question for Fenix 5X Owners: Battery Life & Maps Usefulness
WEBSince you had 28% battery remaining on Wednesday night, the 7.5 hours of GPS use used 63.7% - 28% = 35.7% battery, or approximately 4.77% per hour. That's not too shabby, and seems to back Garmin's 5X battery life claim. The Fenix 5 battery life is still better, though - which leaves the question of Maps usefulness.
