![]() ![]() It’s way too much work for something that shouldn’t have this issue, but I’ll update this post or do another with the outcome. I also ruled out extreme conditions as riding temps didn’t dip below freezing and it was garage stored at night – CatEye says the cyclometer works between 32 degrees and 104 degrees Fahrenheit.Īfter talking with CatEye, I have something to try (once I get a new battery) that may fix the problem. On one occasion the battery lasted less than 100 miles – about one week.Īt first I thought it was the battery, but after going through a couple I don’t think that’s the case. The entry-level wireless cyclometer’s battery is said to last about a year – though the factory-installed battery may not last that long.īut I had three batteries in about three months. But I’m disappointed by its battery life. I still like the easy-to-read display, one-button mode cycling and the price. ![]() The functionality and all the features didn’t change. I make it a point to not write a review until I feel I have all angles covered and an accurate idea of how the gear performs in most situations.īut, after riding with it more last fall and on-and-off this winter, the CatEye Vectra Wireless is one thing that let me down after I wrote the review. With the hundreds of gear items I’ve tested, I rarely change how I feel about something after writing a review. I’ll keep you posted on the results (though it may not be until fall). To my dismay, the battery lasted less than two months, which ended up being less than 100 miles.īecause CatEye would replace the unit if any customer had this problem, I’m planning to give it another shot. After posting the below update, I replaced the battery and monitored whether or not the cyclometer went into sleep mode as CatEye suggested.
