Wtd:Garmin 305,705,500 etc..

PDV

As the title suggests I need a spare Garmin (already have a 705)...anything considered.I dont need a brand new one or anything too fancy it is purely as a second to my own as I do big mileage and sometimes my own won't stay charged long enough on the really long rides..250 mile plus..:D
So if you are looking to upgrade and have an old one spare and arent looking silly money let me know...

Hey,

I have a 800 with cadence,as new,no marks,come with a speed/cadence unit and magnets and bike mount,I have a hartrate strap also,its not working and might need a new battery so it's free with the unit as its not working,ill be looking around €200 for it,looks like I'm moving to a srm and don't think I'll have use for this,it's the unit is 100% perfect,

Cheers zip,

Thanks for that Zip but I'm not looking for anything that good to be fair...it is purely a back up so would need to be a bit below €100...

Would an external battery pack not be a better option.

There are cheaper spurious usb chargers, one with 18650 cells would have enough power for a few days. I have a cheap duracell one that would work but wouldn't be water resistant or as handy to mount. I suppose you could stick it in a toptube bag. I have a topeak one that is actually fairly waterproof

Garmin have a one that is made by powermonkey but has a case for the batterypack with velcro to strap to the frame. Includes a solar charger handy if you were touring and camping. Bit pricey though

I've a couple of edge 305's sitting about. They haven't been used in a while and are unit only, no sensors or mounts. I will charge them up and test them tomorrow. How about 80 euro's each?.
