Hello, what is the Battery Life of the Wahoo Elemnt Roam V2, taking into account:
I - just with the GPS on?
II - what if you walk with several sensors connected (cadence, heart rate monitor, Bluetooth phone, radar camera)?
Thank you very much
I’ve never tested your specific scenarios, but my ROAM v2 lasts ~12 hours or ride time connected to GPS, powermeter, HRM, phone, and Varia radar.
I’ve never had it die on a ride, but my longest rides are ~7 hours. After a ride that long, I have ~30-40% battery remaining. I always charge it if it’s below 40% when I get back from a ride.

Hello, thank you my friend. From Wahoo’s experience, with just GPS and Cardiac Tape, the battery lasts 20 hours, until it runs out of battery?
According to Wahoo’s marketing material, the claimed battery life is “up to 17 hours”. I’d imagine that’s in ideal conditions with zero sensors connected. I’ve never let or needed my ROAM to go below 20% battery. I have no idea how much longer it would have run after that point.

Ok, tks my friend, have a nice day 
That marketing claim won’t live up in the real world. 12 hours and it will run out of juice.
Definitely deceptive marketing, false claims
My trip to Slovenia was spoilt as my Wahoo Element would not last the whole ride, maybe just 5 hours! I suppose I need to buy another (maybe not Wahoo, the other one!!) any thoughts?
@Bob_Dawes 5 hours seems really short - I haven’t seen that with my Roam. You may want to reach out to support. Also note that you can connect an external battery that for super long rides.
I typically get around 10 or 11 hours from my Roam (V1) with HRM, speed and power sensors connected. Noticably longer if I use my MTB which doesn’t have power or speed sensors.
My longest rides tend to be about 5~6 hours so the 10 or 11 hours usage is over a number of days.
Did you have the backlight turned on?
