The Xero is rechargeable. No batteries to replace.

They don't have an infinite service life.

The size of the battery is the size of the battery, rechargeable/replaceable or not.

Can you return to a previous string and add to it?

Start string 1 with rifle 1, shoot a group, set rifle 1 aside to cool.

Start string 2 with rifle 2, shoot a group, set rifle 2 aside to cool.

Return to rifle 1. Can I resume string 1 and add to it, or do I need to start a string 3 now?

My original question was and still is “I wonder how long those last?” My new question is, “how long do they last between charges?”. That is one thing about the Lab Radar, it's a power pig.

You are correct. Just like an EV or cell phone, or whatever. My point is there isn’t a battery or batteries that require “regular” replacement. The unit is rechargeable.

Same question. Can't on a Labradar and it's a major drawback. Seems easy enough to fix in my mind.

I’ve read longer than 6 hours of constant “on”. I haven't run mine longer than 30 minutes.

Sure thing. My point is when the battery is worn out, I'd like to be able to service it myself.

Point is well taken. In retrospect, electronic devices last a really long time, even when used every day over and over. I won’t use the Garmin anywhere near what I use a laptop or phone.

This Garmin would easily fit in a shirt pocket, smaller than expected. High expectations here…..

Found one today……………………under the Christmas tree! Santa ordered it directly from Garmin. He said it took about 5 weeks to get, with free shipping
