Since last year I’ve been using the Elemnt Roam 3, and the battery life used to be excellent. I regularly ride distances between 100 and 200 km, and after a ride of 5 to 8 hours the battery was still over 50%, including just last week on a 155 km ride.
However, I installed an update this past week, and yesterday I did a 120 km ride in about 5 hours. By the end, my Roam only had 15% battery left. That’s quite a significant drop!
Could this be caused by the update, or might there be another explanation?
Well this happened to me today. Similarly I’ve been using my Roam 3 since July 2025 and always comfortable with its long batterly life, but after a long ride today, 7h 16m elapsed, the battery was just 22% and draining quickly. I’ve always used backlight on Auto Max, but even after I turned backlight off, the battery was still draining quicker than normal.
I just checked, last two rides (I didn’t charge for last ride) 7h 20min total time and I have 38% battery.
In that total time 2h not moving but Roam 3 still running. I have latest firmware and Auto max backlight, also tracking active, lots of sensors and map active.
