Edge 1040 Solar - Switches on when charging

Why does E1040 19.19 turn on when charging? This feature makes no sense. If power drops/fails while charging, unit stays on draining battery. Please remove or make an option in settings. This is particularly annoying when charging from a vehicle where power may be turned on/off by opening of doors etc. Please remove or make an option in settings.

When connected to regular power the problem remains that the unit automatically turns on when charging starts, or when charge power removed.

Sorry, I‘ve seen this post after I answered - so: all is clear.

But I remember: it was always like this! The device always turned on when plugged in to a wall charger.

I have the same issue. Varia light/ radar may be on bike in garage. These are linked to edge 1040. They turn on when 1040 turns on and drain while the 1040 is charging.
cannot find anything in system settings to disable auto power on when charging.

Any solutions?

You could completely shutdown the Varia with a long button press, then it can't listen to Bluetooth/Ant signals anymore. You must turn it on with the same procedure.
