1303.0. "AVOCET 20 PROBLEM" by STAR::MCCARTHY () Wed Sep 06 1989 14:53

    
    
    I have a Avocet 20 computer and I have gone through 2 batteries this
    season.  Has anyone had a similar problem? This could be a real pain
    if the battery dies every 4 months.

1303.1Common Problem...FSTTOO::HANAUERMike... Bicycle~to~Ice~CreamWed Sep 06 1989 16:3710
You have a bad unit, and this is a common problem.

Get it replaced under the warranty, another brand would be your best 
bet judging my my experience.  The Cateye Vectra is similar and 
works well except that it is too easy to reset.

Lincoln (MA) Guide Service was very helpful when I had the same 
problem.

    I went through 3 of the Cateye, none worked right. I now have an
    Avocet 20, the first battery lasted 22 months, 6500 mi. , it
    also has been totaly trouble free in "the wet"
