Does the garmin indicate battery time left before recharge is necessary?

It just tells you that you are running low on battery. It does not have a battery bar that I have found and i keep an extra set of batteries in my bag. they are quick to change.

It uses replaceable AA cells. I think they recommend rechargeables. I don't remember seeing an indication. I'll look when I get back on Thursday and respond again.

Yes. I haven't bought the correct rechargeable yet and still use AA but it has battery indicator only and not time left. 3 rounds on regular batteries. However it is really simple and very accurate. Just need to position the flag and look at the distance. No time wasted.

When the G3 is on, press the on/off switch and a battery level indicator appears along with the date and time. Just press the button -don't hold it down as you do to shut it off

Can't find a way to check the charge level manually. Saw a 5 bar meter during startup once at 2 bars but it rolls through it automatically. What I go by is the unit will not brighten the screen when the level is low and it gives a warning message to that effect. You can change out the batteries without losing data on the round. I am not using rechargeable batteries at this time so I just carry a couple spares and change when needed. I seem to be getting at least 10 hours on a pair or 2 rounds.

Yes, as it is being used it tells you it is running low. I have been able to play 3 complete 4 hour rounds but usually recharge after every round if I have time!

The battery is built in and the GPS comes with a USB charging cable. We use it connected by Bluetooth to an iPad and it barely drains down in a 6-7 hour day of driving. You won't need to replace this battery for a long time based on my experience. I'd guess 25-30 hours between full and low charge.

Yes, you get a light signal when battery needs recharging and there is another light signal when it has finished charging. There is no "low battery" notice though. So its use it until the battery is done. Might be in the middle of a session.

I can't find an answer to the question about using the USB cable to recharge the device. However, the specs for the cable say that it will not supply "external power". Nevertheless, when I use the cable with a cigarette lighter adapter which has two USB jacks, my Garmin 60CSx indicates that it is connected to a power source. Hmmm.

No, this is just for the strap. If you purchased with activity monitor that will tell the time. I found it does take a little getting used to.

Yes there is a low battery indicator, although you will only read about it in the booklet that comes with the clock, not in any advertisement from SkyScan.

No, there is no indicator. At full power it lasts about 1 and a half hours, maybe a little less so best to charge it daily/every second day

I rarely ever use my GPS devices on battery. About the only time is when I've got them sitting on the table in front of me as I do trip planning. These events typically last for no more than about one or two hours at most, and I've not run down the batteries as of yet. It does appear, however, that the 7" screen RVND 7720/25 battery doesn't last as long as my Garmin Nuvi 5" screen device...it has a bigger screen, and uses different technology for the screen. I'd say the RVND 7720/25 battery is good for at least 1 hour when new.

The Garmin Nuvi GPSs have a built in protection circuit to prevent overcharging. The OEM charger chip I believe identifies that it is a charger. Non Garmin power cables sometimes allow the GPS to think that it is connected to a PC or other device and prevent the battery from charging.

I don't think it's needed. I bought one a few months ago and haven't used/needed it. I've been using my rangfinder during the same time-frame and don't agree with the low-charge complaint. I've played four rounds over a two week period without recharging so it's a non-issue. That being said, forgetting to turn it off after the 18th will lessen the charge. This is my third range finder and I believe it's the best.

Yes, the LCD on the top of the camera accurately displays remaining battery power. The icon will also flash when battery failure is imminent.

Yes. If you mean that the camera will read the battery level and tell you how much charge is left. There are 3 bars that indicate the battery level.
985861
Yes, for the most part. However, I've noticed that it has occasionally been off, mostly overestimating my speed and distance. My other complaint is that it takes a few minutes to locate the gps signal. It also seems that the watch functions better when fully charged.

battery arrives ready to use. It has never been fully discharged in my case and no charge indicator on my system, so no way to know full rechagre time.

No. It is a great running watch only. I am currently training for a marathon- and after 2-3 runs (of about 1-2 hours)n I will have to recharge the watch. I have tried turning it off to extend battery time- however, it doesn't make that much of a difference. With that said, if you don't mind charging the phone every night, you could use it during the day (minus using the GPS portion) - but that is the caveat.

Yes, it wii indicate the max speed as long as you reset the Garmin data to clear the previous data.

I am not sure. I would go to the Garmin site and do your investigating there.
