How to Care for Your Power Meter

Care and Maintenance

Here’s how to keep your power meter as fresh and fit as you!

  • Cleaning

    Cleaning

    Do not directly spray your power meter with a pressure washer.

    Cover your power meter to avoid direct contact with any cleaner/degreaser. Some degreasers can cause your battery housing to become brittle. If you get cleaner/degreaser on your power meter, make sure to rinse it off immediately.

    Take the battery cover off when dry and wipe down the gasket area with a dry paper towel to ensure that no cleaner/degreaser has gotten in between the gasket and fasteners.

  • Battery Cap

    Drive Side (right) - Ensure that the drive side (right) battery cap is installed securely in the locked position and that the screws are fastened snug.

    Non-Drive Side (left) - When installing the non-drive side (left) battery cap, use your thumb to apply pressure on the cap while twisting in place with the other hand.

    The O-Ring should not be visible after install and the cap should be flush with the pod housing.

  • O-Ring Maintenance

    O-Ring Maintenace

    Every battery cap (right and left) has an o-ring installed to guard against water and dust ingress. It is important to regularly check the integrity of your o-ring.

    To check your o-ring, remove the battery cap, and visually inspect the o-ring to ensure it is free of rips and tears, and seated in the groove. We recommend occasionally lubricating your o-ring by applying a light coating of silicone based grease to protect it from drying out and cracking.
