Battery Life

Had my PowerPod now for two months and overall impressed with its performance except for the battery. I generally ride 3-4 times a week and unless I charge it minimum twice weekly I only get about 6-7 hours ride time before it dies mid ride on my third outing. Is that the same for everyone?

This sounds low. Are you charging it fully (flashing red light goes out)?

You're quite right...Toms reply is in my spam folder, replied on the 9th. Will follow his instruction and see what happens

Interested to know what the instructions were after my PP died mid 3rd ride after approx 7-8 hours use.
Thanks

I don't necessarily see anything wrong.
You need to make sure your unit is fully charged (instructions say this). The battery does drain a bit between rides (the device is asleep but not dead!).
Please charge battery fully (flashing red light goes out after fully charged).
I think you will be OK.
