Remove the batery and check for corrosion in the battery housing. If it
appears, clean it out with
alcohol and a qtip. If it is really bad, you will need to replace the
strap. :(

My Garmin HR monitor seems to have died. While riding the Ronde I noticed that my heart rate was something like 70 or 80 just after going up some of the climbs... most certainly not correct! My average for the ride was way low as well.

So I replaced the battery, but I soon had the same problem. Sometimes it drops to 30 and just stays there.

My question is, what's up? Do I replace the battery again? Is this a common problem with the straps? Is the strap dead? This is less than a year old, so I suppose it's under some sort of warranty.

Thanks for any help!
