Got stuck in the stix without juice. Walked 2km (1.25m) and up a hill about 800m, atop the hill a brand new strip mall had ZERO outlets, had no gas station either. The 2nd story office entrance was locked, and I could see an outlet. This was 6pm Sunday. Pizza place was open, saw outlets but kept walking.
New homes all around, went to what I thought was an empty townhouse condo. Plugged in to the front outlet.
Sat on a new homes for sale sign, a few units down to not act suspicious, with my bike on the one front step.
15 minutes through my 20 minutes charge time, I realized some units were occupied.
I looked at the second level above the door I was charging at, had shit in the window
Waited another 5 minutes so I knew I was able to get to McDonalds/Esso 3km away.
Where I started from, a waste treatment center had a parking lot and stall outlets with LED's.
I plug in my handy outlet circuit tester, and it read good.
The led's on the outlets had 3 led's
1 was left outlet and it was green or off
1 was middle a white and always on
1 was right outlet and it was green or off
When nothing is plugged in, white is steady on and both green leds both rotate on/off for a 1/2 second of rotating left and right.
Plug in my charger to the right side outlet, and it starts blinking faster, while the left side is blinking normally.
I tried 3 different stalls at various points. One at the end of the lot, one a few down from the front door, and at the front door.
All acted the same.
I let it charge for 40 minutes, and nothing.
The charger was not hot, and no juice was added.
I went around the corner of the building, saw a patio and no outlets.
Went around the front to the gated yard and guard shack, no outlets.
Went tot he powered pilon sign, no power.
Went to the entrance entry arm, no power.
Went to its power transformer cube, no power.
Google maps showed strip mall 3km away up a 800m steep hill.
Walk of shame
