Then, from advice on the forum, I now have a 2A ipad charger (with correct USB cable and more money again). This doesn't seem to charge :-( I plugged the vox on the charger yesterday with it showing 90%. I left it on for 3 hours. Still showed 90%. I then disconnected it and did a hard start (10 seconds pwr button). When it came up it still showed 90%. Connected the genuine charger and it still showed 90%. After an hour on the correct charger it was back at 100%. So I'm not convinced the 2Amp charger is actually charging at all! I'm now doing the same test but with 70% level. So it's been sat on with wifi on and with the 2Amp charger now for 3 hours. Still showing 70%. So it hasn't gone down so I assume some power is going into the unit. I'll leave it on the 2Amp ipad charger for 2 or 3 more hours and then plug the vox charger back in. However, so far, it looks like the ipad charger will power the unit but not charge it.

That's exactly what I said in each of my postings! To see the true charge, you either have to pull off the back cover and press the reset button (which is hardly practical to do every time), or turn the Vox off, connect the original charger and turn it back on (which is also a pain in the xxxx to do). So, solwiswsteve, do that before assuming there is no charging with your other chargers, it's just that the battery indicator doesn't update....
