One Bar Left On Battery Indicator Question

[5900_XL-1]

Has anyone calculated the time left to hunt once the battery indicator hits 1-bar? The Equinox seems deficient in giving a 30 minutes alarm, and the "BF" indicator per the manual, seems to say that a shutdown in imminent without another warning.

Has anyone figured an indicator out in the field, for when an hour or less is left to hunt before total shutdown? tia

I can't speak for the 800 model... I have the 600 model. But I'm 99% sure the battery pack is the same. I detected for an hour and a half on 1-Battery marker.
Then it gave me warnings of a shut for 10 minutes. Then it shut down completely. Does this answer your question..?

Yep, same here. About an hour and a half and then it started blinking to let me know it was going to shut off

I recommend you buy a little battery backup for less than $10 and wrap it around the handle while you hunt
