Wahoo Roam bogus "low battery" alert
Last week, on rides both Tuesday and Friday, I got a never-before-seen "low battery" warning on my Roam. On Tuesday, it happened about 2 hours into a 4 hour ride. On Friday, I got it just as I was starting out, and again, 4 hours later as I told the device to stop the ride. No problems with the device, recording, display on either ride. Just put it on to charge for Tuesday...76%, about what I would have expected.
I'm guessing this is a software bungle in the last update applied, which would have been just before I started seeing this behavior. It's hard to be sure, as Wahoo seems to roll out updates for thier bike computers *frequently*. I checked today, no new update available. If this persists, I'll contact support. Mostly posting here as a "heads up"...if you see this warning unexpectedly, you're not alone.

You had two sensors with low batteries, your device warned you about a low battery, and you think it's a bug?
