OSCT Battery Charging Issues

Post by SimonBrown »

My OSTC is refusing to recharge correctly. Here's the device settings plus scenario:

Firmware 3.15
Battery set to T4
Battery voltage 3.6v

1. Battery 39%
2. Place on charging pad.
3. Green light blinks rapidly initially, then blinks slowly. Battery level indicator highlighted yellow - charging.
4. After a short time - maybe 2 mins - green light blinks rapidly. Battery level indicator normal - not charging.
5. After 30 mins rapid green blinking light has not changed.
6. Remove OSTC from charging pad.
7. Replace OSTC on charging pad and steps 3~5 repeat.
8. After several cycles battery level reaches 40%.

What is going wrong? What settings are incorrect?

Picture of computer attached - if it helps?

You should really post this question in this forum (https://forum.heinrichsweikamp.com/viewforum.php?f=6), the current location is for the older models.

That happens if you just leave it on the pad and don’t touch it for a long period (24 hours)?

Update:

Firmware now 3.16.
When charging switches off the LED flashes red twice then reverts to rapid yellow blinking.

I will test the 24hr soak and see what happens.
