Garmin Xero C1 Pro chrono

[jasper2408]

Does it have a Sleep function like the Labradar and Kestrel? If no detection after a certain time it switches off?

The only thing I have noticed is the screen goes from bright to less bright after about 20 seconds when it is just setting there with no activity. Now whether the unit is powering down or not I do not know. I have seen videos that say it powers down but I haven't used this enough to know what that looks like when it powers down. When I was using it the last time it did not go completely off or black on the screen between sessions and it would be 10-15 minutes between sessions at least.

The Garmin rep said on the podcast it can be powered externally (not just charged) via the MicroUSB

I have charged the unit with my external battery to see if it works and it did but as far as running off an external battery I will have to just take his word as true until my battery dies for good to find out. I will probably just change the battery instead as I like not having to carry anything with it to use it.

All Lithium batteries degrade with time and charges. He said if this happens to ring Garmin and they'll 'work something out'. Can the device come apart? Are those Hex screws around the outside, or some proprietary security socket?

I did hear that on the podcast.

My take on the battery is that they are not going to cover it unless it is under warranty(1 year).


I found this pic over on Snipers Hide. A fellow has already taken it apart to check out the insides.

Here is his comment from that post:

I feel the “non-replaceable” battery is pretty much a non issue. 2 minutes and 15 bucks on Amazon and you are good to go. I fear no warranty. Took longer to find the t2 or whatever size it was than to take apart and find the right battery. There is what looks like a little silicone potting holding the battery down, but that is an easy bridge to cross down the line.

Comment about the ribbon cable in the pic:

Oh, the screen is under the battery, ribbon cable goes to screen. Other side is the board the screen and battery plug in and whatever magic radar powers this thing.

I changed the battery that I originally posted to the correct replacement battery as Klem pointed out later in this thread plus this vendor ships from California and not China.
