[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1355896, member: 211504"] The very first G5 transmitter I ever had (back in 09/2015) would still display the dots on the G5 graph but the actual number went away. Another one kept saying "This is your last sensor session before your transmitter will stop working" on at least two occasions. When I use a basic bluetooth signal detection app on my phone I can see that one of my old G5 transmitters (I keep all my old ones) is still transmitting a signal 5 months after I first started it. Obviously, we all know that the "Low battery" alerts on the G5 transmitters are predominantly not ACTUAL low battery alerts and only align to the 112 day auto shut-off time. IIRC, there are people out there having success with extending the G5 transmitter life using xdrip/nightscout (admittedly, I've never bothered to look into the technology too much because it's not necessary for me).
