Tips for Extending the Life of Your Garmin Battery

When it comes to extending the life of your battery, the approach will differ depending on whether you’re using rechargeable batteries or single-use batteries.

For single-use batteries (such as using AAA or AA batteries), extending the overall battery life comes down to how intensely you use your device. Naturally, if you’re using your device less each day, the batteries will last longer. Consider power-saving options with your device to get more longevity and avoid overusing or underusing the device.

Overuse will burn through your batteries more quickly, but underuse could lead to the batteries discharging and weakening from a lack of use over time.

For rechargeable batteries, account for the following:

  • When charging the batteries for the first time, make sure they fully charge to 100% so that you get the longest life out of them from the outset. You’re often encouraged to let them charge for longer initially, as well.
  • While not necessary every single time, it is worth letting the batteries fully discharge on occasion - this then allows you to do a complete recharge that helps with battery life over time.
  • When recharging the batteries, try to disconnect them from the charger once they reach 100%. Constantly overcharging or not allowing the batteries to discharge properly can be a negative to their charge and discharge rates over time.
  • To get more out of each charge and the batteries last longer, consider using power saving or low-power modes from time to time.
  • Updates to your device’s software can also be beneficial to battery life. Updates can introduce operational and processing efficiencies that put less strain on the battery.
  • Finally, simply remember that all rechargeable batteries lose capacity over time. Even with best practices, the charge capacity of a rechargeable battery after one year of use will be less than it was when you first purchased it.

FAQs for Batteries

The best way of ensuring you select the right-sized battery for your Garmin device is to refer to the user manual of your specific device. It will detail the type of battery used, which you can then search to verify whether it’s a battery you can replace yourself. With that information, you can identify the appropriate battery size.

This depends on the specific batteries you need. Some Garmin devices use rechargeable batteries while others use single-use batteries like classic AA or AAA batteries.

The longevity of different batteries varies, especially when it comes to rechargeable batteries versus single-use and how intensive the specific Garmin device you’re using is. With rechargeable batteries, you should get many years of use before their capacity depreciates to the point of needing a replacement. Single-use batteries may last a few hours or even hundreds of hours, depending on the device they’re used for.

The best way to understand the battery life of any particular Garmin battery is to measure it against the performance of the batteries it’s replacing.

Again, this fully depends on the Garmin watch or GPS you have. Some enable you to replace the batteries yourself while others are designed with a rechargeable battery that you can’t replace. For those you can’t replace yourself, you will need to reach out to Garmin yourself to enquire about having a replacement battery installed.
