Hi Mel,
Yea, I think you’re right about
having to switch something in order to save some battery time. With the
receiver I also seem to have to replace the batteries frequently, but I’m
pretty sure I get way more than 6 hrs out of it. Thinking back, I can
already think of at least 11 hrs of riding since replacing the batteries
last. My unit takes 3 AAA batteries, not AA. Don’t know if
that’s the difference or not. Don’t know about you, but once
I get all my stats on a new route, I usually don’t continue taking it
with me unless I explore a new trail. I seem to be more focused on my HRM
when it comes to using something on a regular basis.

The Iron Man eats batteries IMO. I
have to replace them every couple rides. It uses the 3 AA batteries. I
had 6 hours on the last batteries I used before it flaked out near the end of a
training ride. ANyone else have this problem? Does keeping in
"monitor" mode eat more battery power than if you keep it on the
Odometer?
