Powerpod works for 4 seconds, then powers off...

Post by benay148 »

If im out on a ride, the powerpod starts up when i press the button with a solid green light. It connects instantly and works for about 4 seconds, then the light turns off and it stops recording data. How do i fix that?

Actually, all is well.

The light shows solid green to indicate your PP is working properly. After 4 seconds the light turns off, to save battery power. Even when the light is off the PP continues to work. Only when the bike is at rest for 20 minutes does the PP turn off.

Hey John, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately when the light turns off power data no longer shows up on my Garmin. I press the button, power data shows up, then the second the light turns off, watts go back to zero. I will try to find the garmin file to confirm this, thanks
