I use my Zip primarily as a backup device. I'll often go a month at a time without using it, then use it on a single day, then go back to not using it.

 

I was wondering, would there be any major issue to just removing the battery when not in use?

 

It seems like that would extend the battery life significantly when I am not using it, though I imagine it might confuse the date/time on the Zip.

Hi @SunsetRunner - No issue with that what-so-ever. Once you put the battery back in and sync the tracker, the date/time should be accurate.

Nice to see you here @SunsetRunner! Adding to @Ozzie65's amazing advice, please take into account that data could be lost if your tracker is not synced before taking out the battery for a long period of time.

 

Also, I'd like to encourage you to join us at Discussions board, there you can be inspired, find some tips to get moving, eat well, manage weight, sleep better, live mindfully and more! Give it a look! Smiley Very Happy
