Title: Battery Is already done charging after 10 Minutes?
Post by: Will Smart on August 12, 2013, 03:26:38 PM

I've only been charging pleo's battery for 10 minutes, and the led indicator is already green (signaling that it's fully charged)! Is my battery broken? Do they come charged? What is going on here?

Thanks,
Will SMart

Hi Will, the first time i've charged the battery i got the red/green 2 times and after the green led. I think the battery wasn't locked to the charger (or the hot temperature in my room). Try to recharge the battery again and see what's happens.
If the led turns green again, use the battery once in your pleo rb and wait until needs a recharge again ;)

Thank you for the help! :) One question - what do you mean use the battery in your pleo 'once'? Do you mean to use it until it runs out?

Yes, Pleoworld has a habit of sometimes sending partialy charged batteries. I would try it in Pleo and or after making sure it is seated correctly, just leave in the full 3 hrs, can't hurt. It should give you about 2 hrs of playtime with your baby. When hatching though, they do sleep a LOT!             RWM :cat-hug:

As RWM says , A lot of Pleo rb batteries do come charged so just run it in your pleo and see how long it lasts for.  When it runs out and the pleo stops then recharge it and it should take 3 to 4 hours to fully charge  - go green.   :)
