5:00am Acts 15 - Romans 4 The Garmin was giving me the "Low Battery" warning again today :( It looks like I'm not going to get much more than 90 minutes out of it on a full charge now.
I've had this thing for over 2 years, logged 582 hours of running time, and 4661 miles which isn't bad for a $167 watch. It still bugs me that the battery is the only thing wrong with it after all that use and they didn't make it replaceable. I can't throw out a good piece of hardware just because the battery is worn out. I'd love to upgrade to a 310xt, but $349 is stupid! I'm sure the inevitable upgrade is why the battery isn't intended to be replaced. I'm going to attempt a battery transplant on the 305 to give it some more time. I have lined up several donors(old cell phones) and just need to find one with a battery that is the correct size for the garmin. All the phone batteries I've seen are the same voltage(3.7) and with any luck, I'll be able to find one that also has a higher mAh rating than the original(750mAh) and end up with an even longer than normal run time.
