Your Stages Power meter will send a low battery signal when the battery is near depletion, however, not all head units or software will display the low battery warning. Therefore, we advise regularly checking your battery status to ensure you are equipped with a replacement battery and to avoid losing any ride data.

Check battery status in the Stages Cycling app
If you have the Stages Cycling app installed on your smartphone or tablet, you can easily check the status of your power meter's battery. To view your battery percentage:
- Select Devices from the app's bottom menu.
- Select Add Device, then select Power Meter.
- Activate your power meter by rotating your crank arms, then select your power meter from the Available Devices list and select Done.
- Once connected, select the Data tab from the power meter page to view the Battery level.
Check the battery status on your head unit
On certain head unit models, you can monitor your battery status directly through the head unit. The power meter transmits battery updates every few minutes, so it is advisable to check after the power meter has been powered on and connected to the head unit for several minutes; otherwise, the head unit may indicate that sensor information is unavailable due to not having received the data yet.
