Feather M0 RFM95 not charging battery from USB port

Post by krx7 »

Hello,

I have an Adafruit Feather M0 RFM95 LoRa Radio. The USB powering connection works fine and the battery 3.7V with JST connector is working too even if I disconnect the USB power connection.

However, if I connect the USB cable and the battery at the same time, the CHG LED of the feather M0 does not light up and the battery does not recharge.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Someone has had the same issue?

The Adafruit overview explain that:

Code: Select all

When the USB power is powered, it will automatically switch over to USB for power, as well as start charging the battery (if attached). 
I try with another feather M0 RFM95 with the same USB cable and battery, the CHG LED works and the battery is recharged.

Thanks...

You check with the other Feather with that battery when the working feather will try charging it (charge LED on)?

This image shows the connection. I used the same cable USB and Battery.

The wires have the right orientation + and -.
