Before i went out for a ride today i checked my Garmin Edge 130 for charge and it said sixty percent.Twenty five miles into the ride and i noticed that the battery was low and then five miles later it died not far from home.
When i got home i put it on charge using USB and within a few minute it was showing three bars out of four and i managed to recover my ride.
What is strange here is that the battery shouldn't have run out on if i only had done thirty three miles and why was it when i put it on charge it was showing three quarters full within a few minutes.?
I am wondering if the cold weather could have affected it?
First ride since i deleted the activity files and the Garmin performed without a hitch.
Mind you i still used my iphone as back up for strava.
Once again kudos to @Phaeton for passing on that tip.
I had a brand new one years ago and it would never do more than 45 mls on a full charge
worst garmin I ever had for battery life
