Hi all,
I've been working with my new Sena 20s and finally got everything paired up and working properly (see the the thread "Sena 20 w/r1200rt"). Went for a long ride today and the unit informed me that the battery was low, and then about 1 minute later it repeated the Low battery warning and then shut down.
When I got home I plugged the unit into a high tech USB charger that senses the load and applies the correct current but no red light came on indicating charging, after 15 minutes the red light was still not on. Tried changing cable, plugging other devices into the charger and even some standalone wall-wort chargers - no go.
I called Sena and they walked me through the reset procedure - still no joy. They suggested I return it - after all the work to get it installed in my helmet I was not happy.
I then recalled that, in the past, Samsung phones would only respond to a Samsung charger when they were totally dead. I started changing out chargers until - yippee skippe - I found one that worked! It happens to be from Asus.
Moral of the story - don't ever let your Sena 20s go completely dead - unless you have an Asus USB charger.
Regards,
Ski
