I went to solder a new battery into my SRM spider. I just touched the old solder, the connection broke, touched it again with the new battery in place, connection was strong. Tested (circuitboard to screw, so I'm testing beyond the solder points). 3.6v for a 3.5v rated battery, 3.2v is so dead it didn't register, and all my dead batteries are 3.1-3.2v.

It took maybe 5 seconds to install, 3 seconds to remove? I rounded up and said 15 seconds in Facebook because 5 seconds seemed too good to be true. I have a second spider to solder so I can see if I can repeat it. Unfortunately I have no batteries left, I have gone through 4 replacement batteries so far, new ones on the way.

Also, is there a way to delete ride data without deleting the overall settings? (*edit, I got the SRM machine back and cleared ride data) Key is I want to do this without using the download cable, since I have no computer that is working that runs SRM software. If not I'll just do some manual stuff (install old cyclometer, etc) until I get my laptop back.
