Hi,

Does anyone know how long the Ant+/BT connection stays active after you stop pedalling if the Neo 2T isn't connected to power? There has to be a battery or condensator of some kind keeping the power to the connection, or else the trainer would disconnect the moment the pedalling stops, right?

Have found on rare occasion tested an Original NEO without power connected the capacitor storage kept NEO alive for couple mins max and other times it was 30 to 40 secs (but as the BT search remains active unless switch off in devices, it usually reconnects quite quickly once you resume putting power into NEO).. not tested this with NEO2T

I did try turning the pedals for a minute or two and it did stay connected to the Utility app for a few minutes even though the BT/Ant+ lights turned off the moment the pedalling stopped. Maybe pedalling for longer will keep it alive for longer once I stop...I'll do some more testing after a workout.
