Powerpod losing pairing with Garmin Edge 520

On my last 2 rides, when I fired up my PowerPod and my Garmin Edge 520, the PowerPod had lost its pairing with the 520.

How do I make the pairing persistent again?

During your ride click the button of your PP. If its light is not showing solid green (instead, it is flashing green) then your speed sensor connection is intermittent.

What kind of speed sensor are you using? It's best to use a magnet-less speed sensor mounted on the front wheel hub.

hmmm.

it is only flashing green. i repaired (re-paired?) it at the beginning of my long ride on Sunday and then figured out the pairing was lost on the 520 as well.

i have the super cool magnet-less sensor that came with the 520 on my front hub. this is a new issue after a few happy weeks of riding with the PowerPod.

maybe it's the battery?

Yes, it sounds like your speed sensor is misbehaving. I'd try a new battery.
