Powertap wired battery

The battery in my headunit seems to drain within a few days... I used it on Thursday, was away all weekend and when I went to use it tonight the battery was dead.

This is the third time now... first time I put it down to the battery it was shipped was old.. second time I thought it may have been from storing it in the docking cradle so I stopped leaving it in this.

Antone else come accross this before? Google has no answers.

Shouldn't have that issue. I think it took at least 6 months for mine to die...

buy a good quality battery. I never had that issue myself I used the energizer brand.

Battery quality is important.

make sure you have the sleep period set to 1 min on the head unit

Sleep is set to one min, the latest battery was robbed from my old HRM strap.. hopefully that was the cause this time :rolleyes:

Is the turbo+battery out in the cold? Extended periods of cold will drain a battery very quickly.

Turbo is out in the garage but I bring the headunit in with me.
