HRM-Dual Monitor battery issue

I have an HRM-Dual Heart Rate Monitor that's about a year old. After an initial connectivity issue, the monitor has worked pretty flawlessly, until this week, when it started quickly running down it's battery. If I insert a new battery, it'll last through a workout, but then when I go to use it again the next day, the battery is worn down to the point where the watch cannot find it. Put in a new battery - the same thing happens. Any similar experiences out yhere? Any known resolutions?

Hey there! I am sorry to see this has happened. If the device is not holding the battery, its likely the HRM needs to be replaced.

Thanks for the recommendation. Given my historical connectivity issues with Garmin Dual HRM, I replaced it with a CoolSpo monitor. The module comes with its own strap, but fits into my already adjusted Garmin strap, so I use my old strap with the new module. Connection to my watch was immediate. I have had no connectivity issues like I had with the Garmin branded product. It's been working flawlessly. At about 1/3 of the cost of the Garmin Dual, it is definitely recommended by me. The Garmin unit latest only about a year.
