1) On your Garmin, select "Power Sensor". This will be your PowerPod

After updating to 6.32 this is what I'm seeing on my Edge 800. Is the Edge 800 not compatible with this change?

That's kind of like asking how long your flashlight batteries keep the light bright
How long the batteries stay at each level depends on the length of your rides, how charged the unit is when you start riding, and how long it has been since you last charged your unit.
If you start with a fully charged PP, you can ride for over 20 hours continuously.

I'm just about ready to retire my Garmin 810 and get a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt, so I'm curious about whether this data is accessible on the Wahoo Elemnt Bolt as well. Can anyone confirm that the PowerPod battery status can be displayed on the Bolt?

We follow the standard ANT+ protocol. I'm guessing Wahoo does, too; if so, you should be able to access the battery info in ELEMNT. Make sure your using the Wahoo in ANT+ mode.

I think this is up to Garmin, not us. We are providing the battery information according to their ANT spec. The bike computer manufacturer has to decide how (and if) to display the data.
