No idea what it costs but I don't think its prohibitively expensive. One strategy to consider is to sell the meters used while they still have some battery life left and roll that $ into the purchase of new meters since now they come with the lifetime warranty which is worth having. That math will depend on what they are selling for new and used at the time, I have a 2-3 years still before this is an issue. I ride shorter cranks than most people, so my SRM meters are a little rare on the used market which means I might get a better price for them.
