Garmin Edge 130 new battery, charging never gets to 100%

zanxion — Fri, 26 Dec 2025 20:12:34 GMT

Recently I decided to replace the battery of my old trusty Edge 130. It would hold charge for merely 2 hours before giving it up.

I successfully replaced the battery with a higher capacity one, but after 4-5 hours of charging, the charging symbol is still on. In the service menu I see 93-97%, while battery field reports 80%. Which is correct? Is there a problem of the device measuring the charge of the higher capacity battery? How long is it safe to keep it charging to prevent any premature damage to the new battery?

Edge 130 Plus won’t detect KICKR V4 as FE-C trainer (only shows as Power Meter)

Sarath — Thu, 04 Dec 2025 01:35:58 GMT

I’m trying to get my Garmin Edge 130 Plus (software version 3.00 Sensor Hub 0.06) to control my Wahoo KICKR V4 via ANT+ FE-C, but I can’t get the trainer to show up as an indoor trainer. My Fēnix 7S detects and controls the KICKR perfectly, so the trainer itself is fine.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

• Menu → Indoor Trainer = Always returns “No Indoor Trainer Connection”

• Edge 130 Plus detects the KICKR as a power meter under list of sensors (presumably over ANT+ and BLE) but not as FE-C / Indoor Trainer.

• Tried with Bluetooth disabled on my phone to prevent Bluetooth binding conflicts but that didn't help either

• The KICKR shows ANT+ ID 47274, which should be correct for FE-C.

• Edge displays the trainer as “Wahoo KICKR B8AA” in the Power Meter list, but still does not show it in the Indoor Trainer list.

• Fēnix 7S picks up the FE-C trainer instantly and can control it without issues.

• Power-cycling both devices, resetting connections, and repeating searches didn’t change anything.

Any help or confirmation from Garmin staff or others who use a 130 Plus with a KICKR would be greatly appreciated.

Edge 130 Plus Discontinued?

nagitpo — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 22:31:32 GMT

Was looking at REI to replace my Edge 130 Plus (after five years of daily use), and noticed they no longer carry it. Garmin’s site states “permanently out of stock”, so it looks like the Edge 130 Plus has been discontinued. It is still available on Amazon and other sites, so get one now if you like the small size and B&W screen. Haven’t heard about Garmin introducing a similar-size model, or if they expect users to now get the larger Edge 540 model, which has maps and a color screen.

Edge 130 plus update sensors

Is the Edge 130 plus able to update speed sensors and the like?

My speed sensor 2 has firmware version 4.0 and it seems 4.1 has been out for like three years already ;)

How to disable the feature/use tour after every minor update

zanxion — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 12:38:52 GMT

For some reason, every after major or minor update, on next reboot the feature/use tour pops up, like "press = to access the menu", etc. How can I disable that? It is really annoying.

how do I increase font size on 1030+

Edge 130+ stopped transferring data via Bluetooth and USB.

steynja — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 06:52:39 GMT

My Garmin Edge 130 Plus suddenly stopped transferring ride data with both USB and Bluetooth connection. I did a club ride on Saturday morning and successfully uploaded my ride to Garmin Connect and to Strava. On Sunday morning I went out on a solo ride, but when I got back home, I could not upload the ride by any means. At first, I tried to sync the ride using my iPhone as I usually do after a ride, but after more than 30 minutes I realized the data wasn't being uploaded. I then connected it to my laptop, the Edge started charging, but it did not show up as a USB device.

I tried different USB ports as well as a different computer. I tried various other USB cables, all of them that I know that they are working, but still nothing. I again tried to upload the ride via Bluetooth, this time using a spare iPhone that was recently reset to defaults so I know there should not be any clashes with whatever app. I installed the Garmin Connect app on the phone and then added the Garmin Edge. That means there are Bluetooth communication, but the device simply refuses to transfer the ride.

I then reset the Edge, first the option that just clears the settings, but that did not solve the problem. I then gave the Edge a full reset, clearing everything, erases data and settings. After that I started the GPS, walked around the house, and stopped it. The device itself seems to be working, it's picking up the HRM, locking onto the satellites and indicating the speed. That newly created data also did not want to upload via Bluetooth, and still the device cannot be seen on my computer, but it is being charged whilst connected to the USB port.

I am at my wits end, maybe someone has some other ideas that I can also try? I did go through the steps on the Garmin Edge 130 support page, but it was of no assistance.

dropping GPS connection

tweagle — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 15:14:07 GMT

Three times in recent days GPS has switched itself off. This has happened while I've been stopped for a short while and turned the device off and only realised after I'd been cycling again a few hundred metres. I don't recall this ever happening in many years of use, and it has happened in places that I've visited before many times. Is something funny happening with the satellites, or is it likely to be a device problem? Edge 130, btw, not Plus.

Live segments interpretation of + and - signs

4270476 — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 15:43:38 GMT

On the live segments screen, there is a plus (+) or (-) sign that shows how I am pacing against my PR. Does the + sign mean I am ahead of my PR or behind my PR? I can't find documentation on this anywhere and AI gives me contradictory answers.

Extended display alerts always say "0"?

KlavorFlav — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 19:18:14 GMT

Extended display is working as expected, connecting my Forerunner 955 to Edge 130 plus. When an alert goes off, like HR or Power min/max, the watch and edge beep as expected but only my watch displays the actual data. The edge's HR and Power alerts always say "0". Is this a software bug or user error? The watch looks right!

Adjustable Lap Distance Edge 130+

7028107 — Sun, 03 Aug 2025 13:53:05 GMT

When will Garmin provide a firmware upgrade which allows lap distance adjustment. Having the distance fixed by garmin is an annoyance and forces riders to manually log laps. Given the risks of distracted cycling, I'm surprised the legal department hasn't overridden the marketing boys on this one.

Edge 130 always reboots when entering a roundabout. How to fix this?

3283437 — Sun, 27 Jul 2025 07:26:00 GMT

Had this issue suddenly this year. Last year everything worked without any issues.

When navigating on a komoot created gpx track, on every roundabout, the Edge 130 reboots, leaving me with no directions for a minute, which is extremely annoying on entering roundabouts.

Garmin Edge 130 Plus Not Syncing with Garmin Connect App on iPhone

7187188 — Mon, 19 May 2025 15:42:09 GMT

Hi,

I am experiencing issues syncing activities from my Garmin Edge 130 Plus to the Garmin Connect app on my iPhone. Both the device and the iPhone are running the latest software versions, as detailed below:

Garmin Edge Plus SW Version 3.00 (up to date)

iPhone 13 iOS version 18.5 (up to date)

Restarted both and tried to sync. Didn't work. I removed the Edge Plus from Garmin Connect twice but still no luck. Also deleted old history from the computer.

Any ideas on what else I could try? Seems like the last synch was 3 days ago i.e. 16-May-2025

Thanks,

Edge 130 does not charge

triMiguel — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 08:06:31 GMT

Hello
our edge 130 (not the plus one) does not charge.

Instead, when I connect it to a charger (tried different) the device turns on (with that icon für being connected to power on the left top.

When i turn the device off and let it be connectet to the charger, the screen is off - no charging icon.

Is there any hope for the device?

Or should I look for a new one (which?) ?

regards

Edge 130 (original) Battery Life Declining

3982567 — Mon, 03 Mar 2025 12:51:04 GMT

Hi Folks,

I’ve be using my Edge 130 (not Plus) for about five years. In the past month, it has quit in the middle of a ride after no more than four hours of use. When I get home and turn it on, it shows that it still has two bars of battery left. What can account for this?

Regards,

Does the Edge 130 plus offers live left-right power balance now?

fernandolc — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 04:32:53 GMT

I read on an old thread here that is now locked that the Edge 130 plus did not provide left-right power balance metrics. Does anyone knows if that has changed in recent upgrades?

Thanks!

Alpine Skiing

JRoNYC — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 16:13:14 GMT

Wondering why the edge 130 plus doesn’t have a setting for ski tracking. My Vivoactive watch will track skiing, but it’s very annoying due to the constant vibrating.
