I have the Edge 130 (non plus) version and find the battery life to be less than stellar. Definitely nothing like the old Edge 500 which you could operate for days without charging. This new one, well you'd be lucky to get 3 solid riding days (2+ hrs/ride) out of it before it dies.
The other thing to note is that debris can get in between the play/pause and return buttons which can cause the buttons to lose their tactile 'click' and even cause the button to stick down. Had to return my first unit and MEC replaced it. Happened again on my second unit but was able to dislodge the debris using an X-Acto knife.
