Hi,
A few days ago my HRM-Dual heart rate monitor battery was dead without a low battery warning. The day before I made a ride and the HRM-dual battery was reported OK in Garmin Connect and on my edge 1040. I was surprised not to get a low battery warning on the Edge 1040 or in Garmin Connect. Below a screen shot of the battery state of the last ride before the battery went dead.
After replacing the battery, the HRM-Dual is working properly again. Is it normal that there is no low battery warning for the HRM-dual monitor? For my other sensors (speed and power) I do get low battery warnings as expected.
