Garmin 305: Battery for heart rate monitor?

It takes a standard CR 2032 watch battery. You should be able to pick some up at any drugstore or big box retailer (or Amazon).

The Garmin D2 uses a lithium-ion rechargeable battery. The D2 battery passes the Garmin requirement that the battery should have greater than 75% capacity after 500 cycles. How many years is a question of how frequently the user is discharging the watch. Once a week would give you roughly 10 years before the battery was down to 75%. 500 cycles is by no means the end of the battery's life, but capacity starts to drop off more drastically after that and can vary from cell to cell.

Hi, battery is okay more than 5 hours actually on standby, but when gps is on, am not sure because i have not tried running for 5 hours. I might try using it in my bike and will give you feedback. You can look for reviews of professional athletes, i've seen some very good reviews. Its cheap and i love it.

My 220 came with the chest strap for the heart rate monitor (and it is slightly more comfortable than my older Garmin chest strap). Hope you enjoy the 220 as much as I have.

I also use mine with a Garmin Edge 500 plus the Garmin cadence/speed sensor. Works fine although I am sceptical of the power numbers. Some max values seem quite high.

Don't believe so, advertisement shows only for the 205 or 305 models. Might be best to contact the seller and see if they make one for that model. There is a replacement for the Forerunner 10 (rubber) sold by Heart Rate Monitor USA on Amazon.

I don't think that it's a consumer replaceable battery. You must place it on the charger when it runs low. I'm thinking that when the battery no loner works then you must send it to Garmin.

Magelllan informed me that the unit must be returned to them for battery replacement. Mine refused to fully charge just after going out of warranty. I have since purchased a garmin.

I have a Timex Ironman (Trashman would be a better moniker for this $90 disappointment!) that has NEVER given me reliable performance and has basically just quit after 17 months of unreliable service. I'm reading enough negative reviews on the Polar F11, which had otherwise sounded promising, to dismiss risking money on that product as well! While I have little or no use for GPS, the Garmin 305 is starting to sound to me like the accurate, reliable heart rate monitor I'm looking for based on further reading!

I don't think so. I tried one of the other Polar HR monitors that didn't have the Nike+ symbol on it and the GPS watch would never pick up the signal. I only found the monitor online. The GPS watch is sold at many sporting good stores and BestBuy but apparently the heart rate monitor is difficult to find other than online. It works GREAT by the way- highly recommend it. It's nice to see your workout with pace/elevation/and heart rate all mapped in google maps.

9098 would work but highest battery capacity battery available would be preferable. Not sure which one that is.

I went to HeartRateMonitor.com and purchased one from their listing of compatible monitors. I purchased a Gramin HRM2-SS. It works very well.

This is the elastic strap only. It secures the heart rate monitor to your chest. It should be compatible with any Garmin HRM.

I see it too, but I wasn't sure if it meant "elapsed time" rather than the current time.I've actually heard back from Garmin that, yes, this product tells the current time but will not serve well as a watch due to its inability to put GPS to sleep mode, causing battery drainage in about 8 hours. Forerunner 405, on the otherhand, can put the GPS to sleep, conserve battery and be worn as a wrist watch, albeit a big one.

Hi Gustavo, A typical CR1220 battery holds approximately 40mAh. The GPS should last approximately 90-120 minutes on the battery alone. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us. Thanks again!

I use a small garden tractor battery. However, having trouble getting the unit to get off display mode I need to call garmin.

I use mine for workouts between 30 minutes to 2 hours in duration and usually get 2-3 workouts in before I recharge it. Have never had an issue with the battery. The ten hours mentioned by Razor789 is I'm sure accurate. For most activity, I think this will fit your needs. I can't explain how awesome the freedom is to not have to wear a chest strap during workouts. I am training for an Ironman, which will probably take me 10-12 hours and am thinking of buying a second MIO link to switch out during transition so that I can have heart rate data for the entire event. At $99, I would still consider it a bargain if you needed to have longer term data and bought two units. You could then be charging one while the other is in use. Just a thought, but the price point certainly allows for this.
