Wahoo Bolt with Red eTap
Anyone running the Bolt with Red eTap? Just put eTap on my bike today but can only see gears as a option - I have seen it mentioned you can get battery percentage as well but can't find that option - anyone care to post a pic of their eTap screen? or suggestions on where to enable this?

If it helps there’s a Google Wahoo site, maybe post it there as well.

You can tell the state of your batteries by the color of the led on each device.

I get battery info from my eTap shifters and derailleurs. I think you just select the “more” option with the Gears menu item selected. You have to wake up your eTap. Turn the crank a few times.

I found what you were talking about. It doesn’t really give the charge in the battery (i.e. percent) but just that it’s “Good”. So I think this is just like what the LED on the derailleurs show. Does have the advantage of telling you what where the shifters are at.
On my Di2 bike, on the Garmin (which I haven’t used for a long time), IIRC, it tells you the percentage of battery left. That is, I think, much more useful. While I’m discovering that I *really* like the e-tap set up, in this case, Shimano did a better job on battery monitor capability. But, all in all, that’s sort of in the nitpicky category.
