100 mW
Hi guys,
I'm seeing some odd/different behavior when my battery charges (36v Li-on). The charger has always got hot (the case temperature is hot enough so you don't want to pick it up) and I've drilled some holes in the case to try and aid air flow. The only feedback on the charger is a red (charging) / green (ready) LED and where as this used to be red for say 2 hours and then go green it now flicks between the two colours seemly at random, although it will settle down in the end to red and then go green when charged.
Any ideas ? Perhaps I've got some dying caps ? (charger has been used 10 time a week for the last 2-3 years)
I've not had any issue with the battery running out of charge btw.
