couple of questions about the wahoo bolt

sibike

I've just got my new wahoo bolt and it comes with a usb cable to charge it . Is it ok to just plug it into my phone charger to charge it , I did this earlier and the bolt felt quite warm .
Also I have one of the display settings set on temperature which I set to centigrade but it keeps going back to Fahrenheit , any ideas ? I have yet to use the computer on the road but so far impressed just messing about with it .

On the USB, absolutely fine - assuming your phone charger isn't some nasty dangerous thing from China on eBay. USB is a 5v standard so you should be able to use any (reputable) USB socket.

No idea on the other question.

ok thanks . Its a genuine Samsung charger so that should be ok was just not sure if the bolt should feel warm when charging as the old garmin never when charging .

Samsung!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: (where's an exploding emoji when you need one?) :twisted:

You'll be fine then. My guess is that the Wahoo just has a bigger battery than the Garmin. It's no uncommon for batteries to get warm when they charge - especially if they're very low on charge at the outset.
