Anyone else had problems with the battery discharging itself between use? The last couple of times I've switched it on for a run, it's either refused to start or shown the 'low battery' warning. Just tested it now and, yet again despite a full recharge yesterday, it's run down which means another delayed run. (Or a run without it of course).
I bought it last December and it's been regularly used (although not the heart monitor) but it shouldn't need replacing yet surely? I've send a service request to Garmin through the support site but if anyone has any suggestions or solutions, I'd be grateful.

What do you mean by "switching off"? I had this problem until I discovered "shutdown" mode (eventually I decided to RTFM).
to shutdown :-
1) press "lighr" button (top left) for a few seconds
2) press "lap/reset" button (bottom right)to say yes to shutdown
3) press "page/menu" button (bottom left) to OK shutdown
4) press "light" button for a few seconds to bring the 110 back to life when you want to use it.
I recharge after every run - then shutdown the 110. Bit ridiculous when the battery in my £10 radio control digital watch has lasted for 3 years so far
I used to leave it in 'standby' mode as it should have enough charge to last over a week if used 2-3 times a week but then it would run down and stop half way through, or not have enough power to find the satellite, so I began recharging after every use. I also shutdown once recharged but sometimes it switches itself straight back on again! Can take several attempts for it to actually shut down.
If I was running marathons several times a week, I could understand it, but not just for my short runs...
