what is body battery garmin

Garmins Body Battery is a feature available on some of their newer watches and wearable devices, such as the Fenix 7, Epix 2, Forerunner 965, and Forerunner 265. It is a valuable tool for understanding your energy levels and training readiness before exercise or activity. The Body Battery feature works by continuously analyzing combinations of heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), and movement data while you wear your device. It uses this information to generate a number between 1-100, which estimates how much energy you have throughout the day. The Body Battery number is based on the charge and drain on your body, and it reflects how much rest your body has had. The score also looks at the mental drain of stress throughout the day, which is identified by analyzing your heart rate. The best way to use Body Battery is to think about it as a cumulative thing, and it is not much help if you only look at it after a run. Garmin suggests the best way to recharge your battery is to get a good night’s sleep while wearing the device. Based on user experience, Garmin’s Body Battery is a remarkably accurate and easily digestible representation of energy levels.
