Wahoo ELEMNT bolt battery for long ride

jpower

This summer I’ve got a mega long ride, hopefully 9 hour ride time plus plenty of fuel stops.

Now I know I’ll bee in pain and cry but it doesn’t compare to pain I’ll feel if it runs out of battery and I lose my stats.

I believe if I don’t use led or navigation I should get 15 hours. Just wanted to know has anyone used it to full capacity with or without navigation and what kind of times do you get? Can I charge it with a portable charger while it’s running?

Did 9h with navigation on in the Pyrenees in the summer and had around 40% left at the end so you should be fine.

Wow that’s awesome.

I'm also wondering about this, I'm planning on doing the Dunwich Dynamo again this year and I'll need the navigation function as it's 100 miles with no signposts.

I had to charge my phone during the ride & swap my lights over last year, would be nice if I didn't have to worry about my gps running out of battery..

To make matters worse, it's at night so I'll need the back light on quite a bit too.

I use the standard Elemnt - did a 10 hour ride this summer with navigation and running a power meter with bluetooth; switched off all LEDs and had just under 30% left at the end. I avoided any unnecessary scrolling through screens but I don't know if that would make terribly much difference. Very impressed with the whole thing.
