Hi,
Ive recently taken up cycling and decided to get a wireless cycle computer to record my mileage. I opted for a cateye model seen here and all seemed fine for a few days when it suddenly stopped working due to low battery. Fair enough i thought it could have been on a shelf for a while before i received it. I purchased a new Maxell 2032 cell battery and it was fine for a few weeks and ran out again
. I'm now on my third battery since i purchased the computer on the 23rd of July.
Is this common with wireless computers for the battery to last such a short time?. I have only done 57 miles in the time Ive had the computer so it isn't used excessively.
Any electronics boffs about know what could be causing it to run out so quickly?.
Cheers
Mark
