Well I used the old edge 1000 today. Still works. Battery was flat after not being used since Oct '22 but charged ok. Perhaps the battery is past its' best. ~13% battery used per hour with radar and PM pedals connected. The 1030+ uses les than 3% per hour.
Had trouble uploading the ride though. Connected it to my phone multiple times but it kept dropping out. Connected it to wifi. Nup wouldn't upload. As we all know, unless a ride is on Strava it didn't actually happen.
Anyway after I got frustrated at the lack of success I decided to plug it into the computer. Logged onto Garmin express and there the edge 1000 is "retired". Deleted it and jumped back on Garmin Connect on my phone and added it again. Success! Uploaded.
In the midst of trying to connect and getting frustrated, bugger it I turned the edge 1030+ on
Yes!! Started up as normal and is now on charge!
Very happy with that. A stupid proof device it seems to be.
