Stages Gen 2 Power Meter
Bought a Stages Generation 1 power meter, had it replaced by Stages because of the battery issue they had.
The Stages Gen 2 they sent me seems to be going the same way, battery discharging after one ride. Does anybody have the same issue or have a solution?
Many thanks
Chris

"perhaps unavoidable", as gently easing off on the accelerator pedal for 2 seconds would obviously be out of the question.

I am in exactly the same boat, I bought a stages PM last summer and it lasted about 7 months before draining batteries overnight, I sent it back and received a gen 2 PM, this lasted around 4 months before draining the battery, I persisted with removing and reinserting the battery and eventually the unit stopped working entirely. I've now sent off the unit to be replaced again.
I am thinking of selling the unit when they send me a new one and replacing it with a different system as I believe the Stages is fundamentally flawed.
Surely they should not be allowed to sell this product...
I thought my batteries were dying quickly in my Stages, but I tried them in another device and they worked, so I figured it may be a connection problem with the power meter. I shoved a little bit of thin carboard between the battery and the plastic cover and I've not had a problem since...
Stupid question probably but is it getting wet? My one has run out overnight on 4-5 occasions overnight after wet rides. The battery O-ring sealing system isn't great.
I'd still like a bit more out of a battery than a week.
Mine does dischare more regularly than usual
First battery lasted 3-4 months
Next one 1-month
And so on
some have only lasted a week or two
Not sure whats going on - firmware has been updated
Apart from the battery it is great (as long as the numbers are right)
