Question to the Garmin Edge 820 users.

Can you set the left/right balance now, if you are using a single power meter?
On my Pioneer SGX-CA500 I can manually set the left/right balance value.

Garmin Edge 820 reduced weight and size to 2.3 compared to existing products, making it easier to see the screen.It is easier to operate on the dashboard than it is when it is operated by a push-button that is not operated.
Though I am currently Edge 520, I would like to upgrade to Edge 820.

What are your experiences with the real life battery life.
1) While only registration of the ride?
2) While navigating?

1) On this ride I was just recording and I had about 35% left at the end iirc.

2) On this ride I was recording and navigating and I got the low battery warning about 10km from the finish.

Those are the longest two rides I've done with the unit. On both occasions it was paused and left on during stops.

I have an Edge 820 that I bought in 2016 (first batch of 820). It started to have some problems on the edge of the screen.
I got it replaced a week ago together with a new battery for 60 US$.
