Just a note, that I had to change the battery in the wireless head today. That means 1862 miles since I got my wireless unit. I guess with summer coming, I should expect a few more miles. I got a WLS FAIL and it would not pair up. I knew the iBike battery was good, so I took a shot at the wireless head battery; it was down to 2.56v. No re-pairing was necessary, just flipped a new battery in, turned on the iBike and it found everything right away.
Life is good.

Re: FYI Wireless Head Battery
The battery in the wireless head quit today at 2.56v. That's 40 days on a battery for the wireless head. Is that about normal? If so I will start replacing it once a month so I don't lose part of a ride again.

This is the only problem with all these wireless sensors all over the place. Lots of batteries to worry about! What we need now is the ANT+Sport power transmitter similar to the technology they are talking about using for cell phones...racerfern wrote:The battery in the wireless head quit today at 2.56v.

More push in the technology means more voltage needed to run the machine. The 705's are heavier for a reason... Lots of reasons, actually, but batteries are part of that.
Re: FYI Wireless Head Battery
Got it, thanks. Looks like every 30-40 days for the wireless head battery. I can live with that.
