Just curious really; know the Garmin's daytime use battery life.

However I'm doing a night ride tomorrow, and would quite like to use the backlight. Just not sure how much that would reduce the battery life? Any ideas as to how long it would last fully backlit?

Cheers

    I think I got mine to last around 12h with the backlight on 5% (which IMO is sufficient)
    I like bikes...

    I use my backlight on 100% for every ride, most days...It lasts for ages, certainly never caused a problem on rides up to 6 hours straight...

    I have mine on 40% and it lasts for 6 hours with lots of charge left.
