It is safe to say that I am a bit of a Wahoo fan. The Roam is the thirds of their navigation devices I have owned but sadly it looks as if it is coming to the end of its life.
On the recent night ride to Southend, the battery drained to zero - something it has now done on two other occasions - where it normally lasts the entire night with ease.
The Wahoo has allowed me to navigate of all sorts of rides and given me the confidence to do so, knowing that it is very reliable. I have tried other navigation devices from other well know manufacturers (you can guess who) but never got on with them in any way. I certainly didn't have any faith that I could navigate on an overnight ride to the coast.
I sent an email to Wahoo asking whether anything could be done - perhaps a battery replacement - but I now suspect this is not possible. I do not have a receipt for it, despite searching for for it, which means it is quite possibly the end of the road for it.
I could power it via a portable juice pack but this is far from ideal. In addition I did this on the recent Southend run but it didn't really help that much as the battery just kept giving up.
I will let you know how I get on and what I end up doing but I suspect its adventures have come to an end.
Until next time, stay safe out there people.
