Hi Everyone-
I've had the Elite HRM/SDM for about 18 months now. I'm very happy
with the results and accuracy I've been getting, but noticed that the
battery in the HRM strap needed replacing every three months or so.
After my runs, I'd been in the habit of simply taking the HRM off and
tossing it in my bag along with my other gym clothes. The other day,
an hour after I was done, the HRM was still transmitting! I guess that
while it was still wet (I sweat a lot) and pressed up against
something, it was still on. I've noticed a few other e-mails relating
to the HRM battery life, and for the past few days I've been careful
to both wipe it down and put it in a container where the sensors
aren't touching anything. The strap seems to shut right down when I do
this.
