Garmin Vector 3 Power Meter - Issues Resolved // Six Month Update

Garmin has recently issued a Service Advisory six months after the Garmin Vector 3 Power Meter hit the shelves. It has been a tough start for their new pod-less pedal based power meter with reports of battery housing issues, firmware bugs, and spindle tensioning issues. The user forums are alight with issues people have experienced. I'm in that boat too. After receiving my replacement battery doors I decided to step through the Service Advisory to see if the issues it was addressing were fixed.... and while I was at it, I put the pedals though the Lama Lab test more times than I had first expected. Some interesting results were observed from a number of comparisons and static weight tests on my Vector 3 pedals.
