Scare

Postby blueeagle69 » May 1st, 2012, 5:37 pm

My beloved Excel just gave me a scare.
It charged fine overnight.
I then decided to give it a quick boost a couple of hours ago.
Plugged it into my PC, while I was using it (The PC).
The Excel said "Charging", but the battery never increased.
So, took the Excel downstairs, and plugged my normal Excel charger for a while. Still no increase.
I shut it down, and left it for a while. Still no increase.

Took it back upstairs to my second charger (I have two. A free gift from SO). Still no joy.
Went and had a shower, came back and the battery is finally beginning to charge. It has now increased by around 20%.

So everything is normal now. And it's charging properly again.
Think I will start looking out for a new battery. Just in case.
Anyone know of a supplier?
I don't really think our good-friend Charlie's giant Duracell is practical enough for my needs tbh :roll:

Although different versions of the Excel may have different rated batteries, does anyone have any idea how many charges these batteries are likely to take before they give out?

Glad you are back in business blueeagle69 :)
If it isn't broken then don't try to fix it!

Thanks matey.
I'd like to know this too :)
This normally runs into the thousands. But with these batteries, who knows.
