18 EC300 Clock Issues

[markwoodlief]

I set the time over and over again, but leaving it overnight it seems to freak out and lose time. Like HOURS not minutes. Any ideas? Not a huge issue but is kind of nice to look down and see when I need to head back down the hill without getting the phone out.

Looks like it's a standard cr2032 battery. Super simple to take the dash off, I ordered a few new batteries in hopes that was the problem.

That's what I would have suggested! Hopefully resolved.

ill let ya know Friday when the amazon batteries get here. Bikes only three weeks old, but likely the dash was made a long time ago.

With the old trail tech models I'd always pop a piece of something between the battery and cover as well, just to keep a little more pressure against the battery.

The new ones actually come that way, also with a rubber gasket to keep moisture out. I was pleasantly surprised. I was really happy at how easy it was to get off. I replaced the battery in my Beta dash and that was a huge battle.

Pretty standard battery. You can pick them up anywhere. Even Walmart! Lol

yup, fresh battery. Held time for 2 days. Now it's all screwed up again.. I really like the clock, but may just use the regular wrist watch like I do on my Beta.

Amazon battery? Name brand or Chinese? i have seen in the past with eBay batteries that they come half dead. Go spend $10 on a decent Duracell or energizer battery and you'll be pleasantly surprised I'd be willing to bet.

wasn't the dash battery at all. Poke around the other threads that I started.
