Sure. My experience is the opposite, though. My Garmin usually has enough juice in the battery to go for a ride because its battery lasts a long time. And my phone probably doesn't because its battery doesn't last all that long.
(I'm exaggerating a little bit. The phone usually has enough at the end of the day to
probably get through an evening ride.)
