I have a V3 since April 2020. Mostly it's been ok, but every now and then I have a ride where the power goes to zero or records very low watts. This is after the powerpod has been charged fully before the ride.
Attaching rides from Saturday last so I can figure out what the issue is.
I'm about to sell it and move to DFPM instead.

Re: Powerpod V3 Lite - Issues
Your calibration is incorrect, causing low watts.
I have corrected your profile and your ride files.
Load the corrected profile into you PPL and maybe you won't want to think about selling it!

Re: Powerpod V3 Lite - Issues
Thanks a million for that!
So what was wrong with the calibration so I know what to look out for?

Re: Powerpod V3 Lite - Issues
If you look at your original files, you'll see that your wind speed was constantly below your bike speed. This is an indicator of incorrect calibration of the wind sensor.
Once you load the corrected file you should not see this problem in your future rides.

I'll hang tight
But what would have caused the wind sensor calibration to go off and how would I notice it being wrong?

Re: Powerpod V3 Lite - Issues
Since I don't know the particulars of your cal ride, I can't speculate on what went "wrong".
I've already stated how you can identify a problem: wind speed is constantly below bike speed. This is seen in all your ride files.
