Not yet.. Just ordered a standard 1350 mah battery tonight but could not find any extended battery or back covers. :( GPS is a battery killer, therefore a car charger and 2nd battery is a MUST.. Stay Tuned..

I'm getting a TyTn II next week and was wondering how long the battery lasted when using the GPS? I use Memory Map for mountain biking and walking and currently use an external GPS on my old XDA IIi. The GPS lasts about 16hrs and the XDA about good 5hrs.

The max you'll get is about 4-5 hours.

Thanks vblues. That will be good then with a backup battery.

4-5 hours?!? I have heard people getting at least 12-24 hours with medium usage. Maybe if you have 3G on and connected all the time (say push email), you browse the web a lot, and you are on the phone constantly, you might get 4-5 hours. I don't know what the GPS life is, but it should be better than the battery life with 3G, as 3G is an active radio, so requires a lot more power.

12-24 hours!!! Wow that would be good. I don't plan on walking or biking for that long. I suppose I will just have to test it when it finally arrives.

he ment only in gps usage!

[vblues]

Yes. What I meant was only GPS usage. About 45-60min of GPS usage, the battery dropped from 100% to about 75%. This was when I was on a 3G network. If I stayed on a GSM network, the same amount of GPS usage drops the battery to about 80%.

3G does sap quite a bit of battery life so stay on a GSM network if you seldom use 3G/HSDPA.
