In order to support shifting systems with multiple batteries, we updated shifting system battery status fields to graphically represent the component and status. This change applied to all fields to maintain…
Agree with what’s being said here , the new battery level icon is a backwards step.
The actual percentage figure was great and to change it with this latest update is just daft and obviously programmed…
I used "di2 battery" for my E-bike with steps e8000, is horrible to loos the % value
i hope it will come back, i dont wont buy a "ew-en100"
agreeing with ic3cold, bring back %
I haven’t upgraded but I know you could go and see the battery status in worlds (eg OK). Goto sensors. Select the sensor you want to check. And then I think click details or something like that. You will see the serial number, name and battery status. Not sure if it is a % now.
It reports the status as a string "New, Good, OK, Low, Critical"
Who asked for this change? Why can't a % or a graphic be alternatives chosen by the user (they guy who paid lots of bucks for the 830)???
I was having an issue with my di2 battery not fully charging. The % charged was very useful in diagnosing the problem. The graphic just hides the detail I needed.
Make it a user/owner choice... PLEASE.
Except that no other gauge works that way, and because no one (outside of us) knows it, they assume otherwise. 99.99% of people will assume it works like their old flip phone battery indicator.
Going by the logic of the person who created this idea and implemented it and thought it would be a step forward, when in fact it is garbage, in the future will we see the data fields "Distance to go", "Distance to next" etc replaced with a, four or 5 bar graphic with each bar representing a specific distance?
They could provide more customer satisfaction by replacing all the number fields with bars, such as with temperature, speed, elevation, grade, cadence, power, and even better yet with heart rate. Time of day would be good too, as well as many others. But one good thing is that the Garmin 830 still reports it's battery level in %. Oops, probably shouldn't have mentioned that.
Are these status descriptions and percentage levels uniform across all Garmin products e.g. Varia radar? I use the light field as a way of monitoring the Varia battery level.
