Still, it makes me wonder what Hammerhead will do to improve the Karoo 2 as that 7-14 is certainly going to make some folks pony up the $750. Its currently a hot topic on the Karoo 2 FB page.
No reason to doubt your use case, though my n=2 (me using one for about a week, and a friend of mine who does long distance endurance events) says 6-7 is about all you can expect without external charging (which can be done on the move while the device is recording). I bet it is a hot topic, because a dead device doesn’t record anything…and the reality is that the battery and OS of the Hammerhead will need an upgrade to get more life out of a charge.
