Can you use a different cable to try? On my Ares, I noticed that some cables do not work. Also the connector seems to be manufactured a bit sloppy, so sometimes even a "good" cable will not connect.
Hope this helps, |

Thanks for your advice. I tried three different cables including the original one, and at least four adapters but without success. The seller asked to return to China for inspection. I still hope I can figure out some way to charge it.

I contacted the seller, got the answer to send it for checking to China. Then asked who pays postal costs, got the answer, the seller. Then I sent it to China, copied the postal invoice and sent it to the seller. One day later I had the postal costs on my bank account amd one week later I received a new Alita. |

After a long time with no issues and leaving things well alone I too have this problem on my Alita. It showed 70% when I plugged it in but it's not charging. At the moment I'm trying different cables and charging options but it's not charging.
