    I have the Honda Freewire but the loss of power to my Freewire has happened twice now and it was the D/C power cord to the Freewire which Sena has replaced twice now. Without this cord the Freewire dies after the internal battery loses it's charge. The cord is unique and can only come from Sena. If the power is not maintained to the Freewire it's because of this cord if everything else is good.

    Ahh, that would explain why it comes back on for 30 seconds, 10 seconds, etc.  It partially charges then the cable craps out again.

     

    I'd be more than happy to try another power cord if they'll send me one.  I had the first Freewire for what 3 months before it quit allowing me to transmit.  Now this one's been in use for one month.  I would imagine it's still under warranty :)

     

    Thanks for the information!

    Yes I have two Freewires and both power cables failed. As soon as I replaced the bad cable the Freewire worked again. Sena has replaced one and I talked to them today and they are sending a replacement for second failed one. Both lasted about 2 months or so for me too and I told Sena how unacceptable this was.

    I think Sena knows there's a problem with them because they changed the design of the cord. My older one had a removable end with a glass tube fuse in it. The newer cord does not have the fuse and the end is solid. It failed just the same maybe even sooner. It's a poor design by Sena because the cord is not a universal cord. You have to use the specific cord made by Sena. So if your on a trip and the cord goes you've got no comms.

    I found a cord at Amazon for $22 and one on eBay for $15 so I ordered one from eBay so I can have a spare at all times.
