Anyone Have Battery Issues with Garmin Z80?

[fburns]

I have a new Garmin Z80 and it is incredible....when the battery works. I have not been able to get through a round without it going dead. No warning. Fully charged at 100% to start. Somewhere around #14 you try to use it and nothing happens. We play less than 4 hour rounds. Supposedly the battery life is two or more rounds. I do not see display settings or any indication of a battery hog. I am wondering if, since the cover is so tight and the buttons are so sensitive, maybe it is turning itself on when I think it is in standby. But today I left it out of the cover and it did the same thing. Just wondered if anyone else is having similar issues.

Have you contacted Garmin?
