Will the garmin GTU alert you of the low battery status even if it is "sleeping" within a geofence?

Yes, it will. Or you can check it whenever you want while in sleeping geofence from your app as well.

To clear up all of the answers already received - the device itself has a small LED that glows green when fully charged and begins blinking when it gets low on battery, however, it is almost impossible to monitor and there are no vibrations or beeps from the device. The Garmin service does send e-mail or text alerts at levels you can set (I have 30% and 20% alerts) and they are set by default at 20% and 10%. So the reason you see answers that say "No" is because the device does not really alert you and the reason you see "yes" answers is because the service does alert you.

No, but there is a small LCD display that indicates battery status, caps lock, num lock and scroll lock when these are activated.

David, I still use it and seems working fine. But this low battery signal is annoying.

No, chirping is the only alert to low battery status. Red light indicates either no DC connection or the detector is not properly connected to others in the chain. Green light indicates unit is performing as it should.

No. The only light on it is a light to warn you when battery power is getting low.

You can set it to do lap alerts. It also has a virtual partner. The down fall is Garmin hasn't made it compatible with tablets yet. So you can not use the Garmin connect feature

It will not work if battery is dead but a low battery alarm sounds from the detector which is very annoying and you will know to charge your battery.

yes, if you switch off the GPS, it's operated in watch mode with longer lifetime of battery

I love the 765T, but recently have had problems when battery is fully charged from my computer and seeing message "low battery" when I try to use it in my car. I have written Garmin support and they should write back within 3 days.

I've had mine for 6 months and the unit shows 90% battery remaining. There is no AC connection but there are configurable alerts - including low battery that you can have emailed, messaged to your phone, and they have a user-friendly mobile app that displays alerts as well. I'd say that you'd be okay unless whatever you are monitoring is remote and you do not visit at least yearly. I'll qualify that by saying my unit is in a location with reliable utilities and I regularly access the location so I am alerted by the sensor several times a week - I'm sure everyone's mileage may vary.

Yes this is an option in one of the menus. This can be turned on and off. If you use the GPS it does use the battery a little more then if you don't use it.

Yes if plug into power sorce, when car turned on power to Garmin will fire up

I haven't seen any and Runkeeper doesn't show any battery status only pairing.

Depends on your usage. If the heart rate monitor is left on the strap, it keep working/depleting the battery.

Yes, I'm not sure but I had it running for about 3 hours off the charger and I had no notification saying that the battery was low

Yes! Once you've paired this to your phone, it will connect automatically of it is still awake. If it sits idle too long, it will go to sleep. However, once you push the button on the Xtreme and your phone's Bluetooth is on, it auto-connects

yes it does if you call garmin they will help you sat up a Icon and it will let you know, if there is new up dates
