How long does the battery life last - will it go longer than 5 hours in one run?

Sadly, my husband and I could NOT even get the battery compartment open...despite several tools. We gave up!

I use mine almost every day, and haven't changed battery yet. Bought mine eight or nine months ago. :-)

Yes it will. I own a gym - mine is used continuously! If there is a period of inactivity for over a minute it turns itself off to save the battery life. I love mine and so glad I got it. It's very handy!

Yes, the battery will last longer than 5 hours for one run. I used the Gymboss for my long runs on the weekend and completed a marathon and quite honestly I don't remember the last time I had to change the battery!

I have only used it 3 times, 30 min each. The battery is still working after a month.

5-8 hours depending on what you are doing and depending on what battery mode you have it in. There is power saver, balance, and high performance options

Mine is near 3 years old. Battery life is certainly shortened now (probably 10-12 minutes run time) but zero complaints about its performance. Gets used a few minutes every few days. I have been guilty of leaving it on charge a few days over the years. Certainly been a good value so far. Will likely built my own battery for it when the run time is unusable.

I haven't tried to run it all the way down since the laptop is usually stationery except if I move around the house with it but I know will last at least 35-40 minutes and not still had around half battery according the battery meter on the taskbar. This is the 2nd battery I have purchased. The 1st one was for a laptop for my mom a while ago and it's still working but again that laptop is not used that much off house power. For $20 bucks I'm satisfied

Mine runs a minimum of 30 minutes on a full charge. I've never run it out so I'm not sure how long it might last.

I've had it last as long as 1-1/2 hours on a continuous run. Pretty fast charge via mini USB, too.

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.

Many factors affect battery life. I can usually get 4-5 hours out of it if I am not doing a lot of surfing and I dim my screen as I notice the battery getting low.

I have never timed it, but with constant use I'd say it lasts about an hour fully charged. It's really not a long lasting battery which I have to say has to be the only problem with it. It's a great tool but using it avidly for all kinds of projects, I could use a longer battery life. Your measure of a "good length" all depends on what you plan on using it for.

It is good for 5 hours or more. When you tap the button on the ear piece bar and say battery, it will tell how much time you have left.

I would say the battery life depends on the display settings. With full illumination, I think it's about 6 hours.

That completely depends on the speed you are running it. If you only run it at full speed, it may last two hours on a charged battery. If you run at the lowest speed, it can last up to 15 hours or so.

I just changed the battery. It depends on usage. I have on average ran 3-4 times per week of about an hour. It lasts about 5 months, and is super easy to switch :-) I also use it as a watch every day. Hope this comment helps.

3 hours if you are using the maximum performance option, about 5-6 if you are on battery saver. :)

My grandson has yet to run it down. 4 - 5 hours continuous easy. We bought a spare just in case but have not even used it. Just make sure it is fully charged before beginning. Allow 24 hours for that.

All I can say is that the battery life exceeds 1 hour of run time and without slowing down. I've never run it it beyond 1 hour nor has it gone dead. I'm very happy with it. Recharge time seem quick enough but I've not timed it.
