Adafruit Micro Lipo - USB LiIon/LiPoly charger
Thank you so much for your products.
I have a question to ask:
The batteries arrived fully charged and the power lasted for a long time. Now they both run out of power. I plugged them into a charging port and left each of them for two days in. However, the power lasts only for several minutes :(
Could you please advice me on what I am doing wrong?
My order No: 1613657-4903921068
Items: 2 x Lithium Ion Polymer Battery - 3.7v 500mAh[ID:1578] = $15.90
1 x Adafruit Micro Lipo - USB LiIon/LiPoly charger (v1) [ID:1304] = $5.95
Many thank you,
Uli

What voltage do you see between the pins of the JST connector?

make sure you're pluggint the microlipo in correctly - when no battery is attached you should still see the red and green LED's dimly lit

3.7/4.2V
There is never any light on microlipo - whether a battery is plugged or not

Hi again,
Thank you for your previous replies.
Could you please advice how long it usually takes to charge one battery. It’s plugged in for 2 hours already and the light is still bright red (haven’t changed on green to indicate that a battery unit is charged).

Re: Adafruit Micro Lipo - USB LiIon/LiPoly charger
it charges at 100mA so if you battery is 500 mAh it will take 5 (500/100) hours or so
