I have some vintage VDO brand wireless bike computers on three bikes (only have two cadence sensors for the three), and those computers usually require new batteries each year. That is 8 batteries. I probably replace 3 a year in blood sugar meters. Heart rate monitors, I have one on each of about 4 or 5 bikes, that also includes several chest straps, probably replace 2 batteries a year. There are a few other things that surprise me on occasion, my kitchen immersion thermometer might use a 2032, I do not remember, etc. I have a couple wired bike computers, I get several years per battery on those, each computer only takes one 2032.
The main culprit is the wireless bike computers.
