Due to not having to commute during lockdown and some ill health I haven't needed to use my Edge 130 for around a year until this week when I was back in the office. However, after putting it on charge last night and checking it this morning I found that it no longer powers on without being plugged in. I have seen a lot of other comments on here about similar problems of the battery dying.
I contacted Garmin support chat to see if there was a way to replace the battery at all but it seems the only way to do that is to throw more money at it for a replacement as it is out of warranty now. I can understand a battery dying if it has had a lot of use but this is the first time I have had something fail that cost so much after so little use. At the moment I am considering putting my money towards a different brand as I have lost some confidence in this model and maybe Garmin. Has anyone tried replacing the battery themselves or is it possible?
