always have an extra battery in your T Bag. I never had one fail after traveling. Pretty new battery, 2 plane transfers and all the jostling must have kept the pm 'up' and drained the battery.Ah yes, the new problem created when power meter companies moved to the use of accelerometers instead of magnets to turn them on and measure cadence. This then created the quick battery rundown when you travel phenomenon which never happened with the old magnetic technology. I really don't miss the hassle of magnet mounting...falling off..... but sometimes it feels like two steps forward and one step back.

Worse still I would say is the impact the use of accelerometers has had upon data quality. Either such powermeters are prone to frequent artifactual power spikes (Stages), or they underestimate maximum power because of excessive filtering/damping (Rotor, P2M)
