Rider 450 not charging on Bike mount

Dave Marsh

So I left it on the mount for a while and it went flat ( after I had enabled Bluetooth to phone) during a period I was not using the bike.

now it will not charge off the bike mount.

I have approx 6-7 volts on the mount pins. ( volt meter may be a little bit off)

The TT charges off the USB port but does not charge on the bike mount.

if I plug the car mount into the usb and then mount the TT on the car mount it charges fine but with an I dicated voltage across the car mount pins of only 2.5 volts.

it is possible I am reading the volt meter wrong and the 6-7 is actually 12 and the 2.5 is 5 volts which would mean the bike charger voltage regulator is down( I read elsewhere it should be 5.5v across the pins).

Does the above make any sense?

Is is it possible that the TT protects itself agin a 12 volt input and I need a new bike mount which will give proper voltage at the pins

I can confirm I was reading the voltmeter incorrectly the bike mount shows 13volts across the pins and the car mount(which is charging) shows 5.5V

New bike mount ordered.

My mount has also stopped charging recently (after about 6 months working). All wires are secure and I get the good voltage when checking the pins, its just when the TomTom is added it doesn’t connect? Is there a way of extending the pins out a little as i think they aren’t moving out enough to make a good connection?

You can lubricate the pins with a little bit of acid-free Vaseline.

I did this just for precaution. I also use a 3D printed rain-cap.
