Tip Of The Day

Always check the voltage output of the charger you are going to use 'because you can't find the correct one'. It could be expensive.

I'm thinking there's a confession in there somewhere.

12V into a 3.7V system. Fried the battery and damaged the Bluetooth Module for my helmet. So far it's cost $35 for the new battery and $70 for the new module. And I had to buy the battery to determine that the module was toast because access to the battery terminals is not possible with human hands.

Trust me, I tried.

Another seventy five bucks would get me a new helmet with a more advanced BT system that uses button cells that I can get at Menards.

As anal as I am, I usually try to put a piece of masking tape on the back of them and mark them with a Sharpee what they go to....but that still didn't stop me from assembling a massive snarl of mystery chargers.....

"Don't take any wooden nickels" and "don't buy a Chinese enduro from power sports max!"

The first one I couldn't resist, the second one is my tip of the day which I couldn't resist sharing either.

Looks like a new BT helmet in my future. New module worked no better than the old one and I busted the helmet foam trying to access the rest of the unit. Maybe one of these next time and a BT ready helmet.

I have an SMH10. sound quality is good. for unit to unit work, there is no voice activation. I liked my old Scala Q2 better for that.

All I really want anymore is the FM receiver.

Mrs. C and I can yell at each other.
