To extend battery life you can get these little back-up power supplies that take 4 AA batteries or Slightly smaller with more power and lithium batteries. Simply do a lap with this unit plugged in and you are charged up again.<BR/>I have this one and the R12. Great for charging phones and MP3 players as well.<BR/>http://www.pricenetwork.ca/showthread.php?threadid=155530&cs=1<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps,<BR/>Cheer, Paul BellPaul Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199015516444532778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9713533.post-54597934467107436442008-03-04T09:50:00.000-05:002008-03-04T09:50:00.000-05:00I had a Garmin 305...had trouble with it when raci...I had a Garmin 305...had trouble with it when racing 'cross...the new 705 can be hooked up to the quest (or something) crank based power, but is expensive also.
