Hi,
Newb owner of a 2022 Levo SL (coming from a meat bike), absolutely loving it so far but had a weird alert today on my Garmin 530.
About half way into a 20 mile ride (all in Trail mode) with battery showing as being at 52% on the Garmin, when it beeped at me and put up a red warning. (Stupidly I didn't think to take a picture of the warning so can't be 100% on the exact wording but it was along the lines of) eBike sensor, Battery critical.
Stopped and looked at mission control (which wasn't running prior to the warning) and it said everything was tickety-boo. Turned the bike off and on again to no effect.
Continued the ride and the error disappeared off the Garmin after about half an hour and got home with no more errors (19% left when I got home).
Any ideas?
Sorry if this is a known error, tried searching with no luck, thanks for any info.

Thanks nothing very definitive in there that I could see but seems like it may be referring to some ancillary battery rather than the main battery battery?

Or an intermittent error code. If you’re close to your LBS then I’d have them run a diagnostic on it to see if any codes come up.

assuming the bike continued working OK it is more likely a blutooth comms error...............ie the Garmin was not recieving data on the ebike battery condition.
