Charging question

[rook]

When I leave my Pandora on charge overnight the battery is usually only on 85% in the morning. The battery is normally around 35% when I plug it in. It charges for at least 8 hours, is that long enough to fully charge? or does it get to 100% and then not trickle charge properly.

Have you checked the battery is connected properly? I'm sure somewhere I read that if the pins aren't lined correctly up you can get strange effects such as only being able to charge to 85%

Also are you charging from mains or USB?

Make sure you switch it to low power mode(trigger power switch) for fast charging.

This.

I had a similar problem but switching to low power mode while charging solved it.

Thanks, I didn't have it in low power mode when charging, will try.

As a point of reference, whilst charging from USB, screen on, wifi connected, Pidgin running, I extrapolated from a couple of hours to infer a 20 hour charge time. From the charger should be faster, but I have not bothered collecting data yet. If wifi is struggling to connect, that may have a big impact.
