Di2 battery level display used to be shown as a number, now it's an icon. Can I change it back?

Tiny screen items are impossible to see while riding.

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…

Was excited for this but the download doesn't prompt an update on my Garmin 530 and the update screen says "no update available". Anyone know if the releases are different for different regions? I have a Garmin 530 ASIA and suspect this beta is for the non ASIA version. If anyone knows of an asia beta site I'd be interested. I'd love not to have to wait.

I updated to version 9.26 today and am pleased to see that actual battery % is back! Thank you Garmin!!

.. answering my own question - no the beta is only for some regions. So the rest of us will just have to wait.

I'm on an Edge 1030 and was surprised to see those graphics (gear and bars) instead of a numerical percentage. I didn't bother looking into it until today when I thought to check my software version (13.20, with no other updates available). PLEAE bring back numerical data. This is like finding a primo Bimmer 2002 tip, then finding some yokel installed a Buick auto transmission and digital gauges. Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!
