Charging
- Thread starter JAN1
- Start date
Have you successfully charged it with the same setup before this? Your wall wort might be the problem. I use a good power bank to charge mine, after experiencing the same thing you are. Not been a problem since.

Sometimes it seems like it is connected, but it is not… I have experienced that a couple times… make sure the connection to the box is good. The light will flash even if it is not which will fool you into thinking it is charging.

The charger should have a rating of at least 5V - 2.0A. The contacts on the detector and the charging cable need to be clean. Rub them LIGHTLY with a PINK eraser then a soft cloth. Reconect and it can take upwards of 7 hours depending on how discharged the battery ways.

Been there done that. As fwcrawford mentions, make sure that connector is seated correctly.

Thank you all.
Think I have now solved the problem, I found a new spare charging cable still in the small box with all the screen protectors that seemed to work as I now have a full charge. Thought I was going to have to go back to my Detector pro Wader with the Blue shaft which is now about 12 years old.

I hope that was all of it. About the power banks, they have their own independent regulators and will cut off before damaging the device. A power bank is something I think everybody needs. I carry one on hunts with a spare charge cable. I never have needed it yet, but I know it will charge my unit here at home. GLHHThank you all.
