I'd probably avoid thinking of it as "sealed" because clearly its not waterproof. I couldn't say whether attempting to seal it better with silicon, or conformal spray coating, or any other product would help or hinder. Maybe avoid riding it in the rain, and be ultra-careful when washing it in the future. Perhaps bagging the crank completely in plastic and tape would help while washing. | |

I have a double-sided aftermarket PM and on two occasions when the (replaceable) battery on one side expired, the power reading inflated for a few minutes (1200-1900W). The system is supposed to convert from a dual to a single-sided system when this happens, but it hasn't been seamless. I believe that it was caused by one side ceasing to send power at very low battery but still connected wirelessly to the other side. Your inflated power readings could be related to a similar failure to disengage the dead side and transition to single-sided operation | |
