Think I got about 120 hours ... believe my Gen3  was sending messages at 10 minutes. One day it was good at 6:30 in the morning and somewhere around 1 pm or so it died .. I found out when the wife called on the phone and wondered why I wasn't moving .. the next time I needed batteries I had sneaked a couple of peeks at the unit and caught the red status lights on one peek and changed the batteries then ..  but again, it was all "green lighted" when I started out in the morning and by 11 or 12 it  showed a red battery status.

I've only had my unit for a short time, but the one battery test I gave it I was able to get 7 full days of riding. That's 12-18+ hour days and they were still showing green when I changed them out only because I was lending the unit to a friend.
