Garmin Battery State - Ciq Battery Goodies From Kurev

There are lots of Garmin battery apps on the CIQ store. They do lots of different tasks but the new one that looks interesting to me is the Kurev CIQ app which, unusually, is also certified and in the thisisant directory.

Note there is both an app and a widget but not a data field so, for example, it is visible in the widget glances. Only these types of sensor are supported Speed, Cadence, Power, Radar, Shifting and Running Dynamics, and LightNetwork (partially) ie not TEMPE and HRM.

Thisisant says it’s certified for speed, power and cadence devices but when I have my Di2 or Varia lights enabled it can cause problems. Currently, BLE sensors seem to crash it too but they have been disabled for now (you can re-enable them in the CIQ store or Garmin Express)

Nevertheless, this is a potentially great way to keep on track of the battery status of what seems to be an ever-increasing number of battery-reliant sensors.

My favourite kit and nutrition

  • Maurten — the race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mix engineered to be easy on the stomach.
  • Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — the small adapter that keeps your charging cable tidy at the stem. Essential for race day.
  • Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session.
  • Ravemen FR300 — front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters.
  • Garmin Varia RTL515 — radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch.
  • Stryd — the footpod that brings running power to your Garmin. The single most useful running upgrade I have made.
  • Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — the power meter pedals most serious cyclists end up choosing. Accurate, easy to move between bikes.
