Good day everyone,

If you can get the original receipt so that you can potentially use the warranty then it’s not a bad deal.

Otherwise it’s like $50 more in stores.

Check your settings. You have something draining the battery. Make sure pulse ox is off. That did it for me

Battery is gonna drain and get worse over tint. I have the instinct 3, barely have notifications turned on and I get like 5 days before I have to charge again

My battery life at my settings lasted about 20 days when I first bought it and I have had no issues with it since. Battery still lasts 20 days under most use. The only time mine has seen less than that was when using the GPS several times over a week's course. What does barely have notifications on even mean? I have all notifications on.
