I found that on my Elemnt, whilst the battery always lasted a full day, on a few long days when I came to recharge it the battery was down at 5%. However, on my Garmin at the end of any day the battery was never below 80%. Both started every day fully charged.

Both Wahoo and Garmin seemed to recharge surprisingly quickly (e.g. compared to the small battery in my Sony camera which takes forever to charge).

I used it to navigate LEJOG with the Komoot app and it was faultless. Going through tricky places like Bristol and Edinburgh was a doddle. Being able to change your destination on the go is a big plus, admittedly you need your phone for this.
