Power2Max and Garmin 500 issue

I am using a Power2Max and Garmin 500 on my P3 on the trainer.  I've been doing all my FTP workouts pretty much the same so that I know that when I'm in a certain gear, and pushing a certain cadence, my watts will be XXX and my heart rate will be ~ YYY.  Today I could not seem to get my watts up barely into Z4 (my workouts have all been over 100% of Z4).  The gearing was where I always have it, and my cadence was even higher than usual.  My heart rate was ABOVE Z5 and I felt like I was gonna puke!  I recalibrated before the first 12-min interval, and also during the interval because I knew it was off but nothing changed.  I also recalibrated again before the 2nd interval.  Same thing...  Frustrating because the test is next week and these numbers are messed up!!   Has this happened to anyone in da haus??

    I never had any issue with mine P2M but maybe a new battery is needed?

    My only thought is zero vs non zero on the garmin. "Has it changed"?

    I've had no problem with my P2Max and Garmin 510, running for about 3 months now - not sure on expected battery life though.

    If the battery seems fine, you may want to try removing/reinserting the battery from the P2Max for a reset.
