Anyone know their way around a Meta alarm? I took the battery out of my bike to check the type for replacement and left it out for about 48 hours. I put the new battery in yesterday and the alarm was a bit...well, wield. The alarm relay kept chattering and it wouldn't disarm. Seemed to have a loose connection. Anyway, it seemed to sort itself out but this morning it's dead. Does not respond to the remote, no beeps when the battery is disconnected and reconnected - nada!
There seems to be a battery in the unit which charges from the main bike battery. That explains the oddness that ensued after it was effectively left uncharged for 48 hours but not its return to life and subsequent total death.
Was all set for an MOT on Tuesday but now that's all up in the air.
PS: Certain it's not the fobs. Odd behaviour is independent of arming/disarming and I replaced the batteries in both and tested successfully yesterday - when the alarm was momentarily in a happy place.
