How long do HRM-Tri batteries last?
Friday, August 10th, 2018 | Sport
The HRM-Tri is a chest strap heart rate monitor produced by Garmin. But how long does the battery last?
Garmin gives different estimates. On their website, they say ten months:
Battery life: 10 months (Tri training 1 hour per day)
While on their YouTube page, then say 18 months:
The CR2032 batteries in your HRM-Run, HRM-Swim or HRM-Tri straps will last approximately 18 months, depending on use.
I only got my hands on a Garmin device at the end of January, which means I have been using the HRM-Tri for six months. Today, while running, my watch told me that the battery on the HRM-Tri was very low.
So, that’s somewhat shorter than they claim. Luckily, however, it is easy enough to change the battery and it uses a standard 2032. Here’s a video:
Make sure you don’t drop one of the screws. Otherwise, you’ll be in a desperate search to find it before your toddler eats it.
