I observe a strange behavior on one of my new Reach RS+ units: The amber power LED never stops flashing after I connect the USB cable, even after several days of charging. On my other RS+ unit the LED stays permanently on after few hours, which i understand signals the end of charging. Could a flashing amber LED mean something different, than “charging”?
When you look at the battery strength indicator in Reachview (click on the battery icon) it will display the battery voltage, the % of charge, and some other things. After charging, does it go up to 100%? What is the voltage after several hours of charging? Does the battery drain faster than your other Reach RS+ units (it sounds like you have more than one.)
The only thing I can think is that a battery is faulty, and won’t charge up to the max potential, so the charger just keeps trying to charge.
Try to get a little more information. After a lot of charging, how high can the battery voltage and the % go?
My batteries seems to show 3.4 volts when 100% charged, and 3.29 volts at 90% charge, but I think this is very temperature dependent, so your numbers may be different.
After several cycles of charging/discharging my batteries finally reach 100%. Sometimes new batteries don’t have the full rated capacity a the beginning, but reach it after a few charging cycles. I suppose this might have been the problem in my case. Anyhow, problem solved!
