Sena SMH10, how long should the battery last?
I have a set of SMH10. One will last over 14 hours, but the other one will shutoff after 9 hours. I have always charged both for the same amount of time, and always together.
What is the average time that these will go after a full charge?
They used to last about the same amount of time, but one now seems to be prematurely failing. I have only had them for less than two years.
I will be changing my batteries on the SMH10 Headsets
I've used mine for over 2 years and my unit is discharging (from a full charge) in about 6-7 hours.....so I have to charge it on the road once in awhile when doing a long day trip.
I reported this to the Sena Tech and he stated to send me info with purchase confirmation data and they would replace the unit/battery. Well...he stated I was "out of warranty" by 2 months (it's a 2 year warranty) and they would not do anything for me! WOW - great customer service! So he suggested I throw away my units and buy new ones - right?! This "costly" item should not be a throw away and should have an easy way to replace an item like a battery (similar to the cell phones today).
Anyway, I appreciate the information from Bob on how to order the battery...it will be a winter project to replace the batteries on both headsets. My wife's headset is used less and still holds a charge a few hours longer than mine.
Good luck all with your Sena headsets....overall, I have to say they do everything I want them to as we use them all the time and work well. We use them with the dongle transmitter to listen to the Spyder radio, Ipod, etc. along with pairing to our cell phones....great overall, just disappointed in the battery life and how to replace it.
