For what it's worth, I just thought I would share my experience with my new K2. I was an early K1 adopter, and never experienced the poor battery life many others seem to have had. It still returns around 7% per hour, no TbT and just one Ant+ connection.

I went on a 130km ride yesterday to test it. 27°C, about 20% screen brightness and a Ant+ HR strap. K2 battery 95%, no TbT.

Total time 10:11:00, moving time 6:09:07. Battery at finish 43%, so it's about 5% per hour. The claimed 14 hour+ battery life seems totally achievable.

There were a couple of minor software glitches, but I'm a happy camper overall. Kudos to HH.

  Hey Victor.

  I appreciate you for sharing your thoughts on the battery of Karoo 1 and Karoo 2 and keeping the community updated & assured. We are working hard to ensure we excel in user experience through our product.

  It has been wonderful to hear that you, as an early adopter, are happy with the battery life for Karoo 1 and Karoo 2. However, I would certainly like to hear about the software glitches you have observed. I am certain that we would be able to work through this.

  Thanks for the quick reply!

  Only software problem was the red "Ride not recording" panel appeared 2 or 3 times during the ride, and wouldn't go away for a minute or 2.

  I can send you the .fit file of the ride if that would help.

  Hi Victor, thanks for sharing the experience. We have found this to be un-wanted too. You will have a better experience related to the alerts in the next few updates. We are working on it right now.
