Charging the PB302
My PB302 seems to be working just fine. But I may have a small problem with the charging unit.
I had the thing on charge yesterday for 12 hours or more. The green LED did not come on. I had the unit turned on at the time, and in 'Charging mode'. I used the thing to read a book for about an hour last night.
Today it has been on charge so far for 6 hours. This is with the unit turned off this time. Still no green LED.
EDIT : Finally - after almost 7 hours (today), the LED has gone out. So - 12 hours yesterday, plus 7 hours today. Seems a tad slow....
The meter on the PB302 says that it is fully charged, although I am tending not to believe that too much.
I am thinking that it should only take 5-6 hours TOPS to charge one of these things. So far it has been 18 hours, and no sign of the unit indicating that it is charged. Is this normal?
I have been using the supplied charger plugged into a 240VAC socket (with an Australian - US adapter). The red/orange LED is on, indicating that charging is taking place.
Apart from this, the PB302 seems ok - perhaps battery life might be a bit less than I expected, but charging is in fact occurring. Perhaps it is just the indication that is faulty? ie it is fully charged - just for some reason the LED is not changing to green.
Any ideas?
