Well had a sick feeling this morning. Went to check my avy bag cylinder after the last ride, wasn't too worried about it as I just had it filled in January. And it's empty. Pretty disappointed in myself for not checking it before the last ride.

Had a similar thing happen with my beacon last time out. Turned it on in the morning, 91% battery, working fine.....good to go. Get back to the truck at the end of the day and it's off. Bunch of corrosion on one of the battery terminals. Should probably check that a little more often too I guess.

This happened to me also a couple years ago. One thing I do now is never leave the batteries in the beacon over the summer.
