Loved the FR when the battery could last all day.

when I became concerned about the decreasing battery life before a couple of long rides which Iknew would take at least 10 hours with stopping time, rest breaks,etc. I bought a small rechargeable battery that I can plug into the garmin through the usb while riding by strapping it to my aerobar.

Not that I am trying to talk anybody out of upgrading through desire or necessity. Just a thought.
