Is this really a thing - an extended warranty for a coin cell battery?
My stages 1st gen power meter battery died last night and so I asked my wife whilst she was in town to pick up a replacement. She did so and the guy in the store offered her an extended warranty for $1.30 CND?
If the battery dies within one year you get up to two replacements and something for the next two years but not sure what just yet, just bring in battery and receipt. As its a 1st Gen Stages it eats batteries when riding in cold and wet and I go through 3-4 a year.
Looks like I have solved my battery issue, new power meter was the other option!

Princess Auto, a dozen on a blister pack card. Cheap AF and actually last a decent amount. I pick a pack up every time I’m there whether I need them or not.
Once a season I buy the amazon pack linked for 2032. Between PM’s, HR straps, and then other random appliances that need them that gets me through a year. For $12 prime to my door.
This doesn’t bode well for the eight I purchased yesterday…
My Stages Gen 3 goes through batteries like they’re Clif Bloks. It has actually occurred to me that my indoor cycling isn’t environmentally friendly. Need to find a battery recycling centre, quickly.
My stages eats batteries too, but I got rechargable CR2032 with something else, so now use those. I didn’t even know you could get rechargable coin cell batteries. The amount of batteries I went through was really starting to annoy me.
