Battery Charge Time
Hello, I currently have the charger seen in the photo (powerboost 500) hooked up to a 3700mah battery. It has been charging for 6 hours and the red light saying it still cannot provide a 3.2v output is still on. Is that normal? Also, the green and yellow light on the right are illuminated along with blue light on bottom left. Thank you!

Re: Battery Charge Time
If the yellow and green LEDs are both lit, that means the LiPo charger on the PowerBoost has detected a fault with the battery.
Post a photo showing your hardware and connections and we'll take a look. 800x600 images usually work best.

Re: Battery Charge Time
It looks like the battery is in reverse polarity. Can you test for that?

That was the culprit! Thank you! Charges perfect now.
