Angel LCD Battery Problems

[Sk8PadTrev]

Is there any one else out the who has experienced battery/electroninc problems with their LCD's, 2001 model.

Especially the marker going dead at supposedly half charge? Any help appreciated.

I think your battery is dead/dying......

Have you let it go flat and then given it a full charge? Although they changed the battery to a Li-ion one they can still suffer from memory loss.
I have had a similar problem with mine, a full charge and then as soon as you turn it on it goes down to 3 bars....and then in about 3 days in totally dead. On he other hand, a mate of mine has one and he hasnt charged it in about 9 months!!!

The only option is to get a new one...what a bargain they are!!...but dead easy to fit though.

hope that helps.

Heress the email i've sent to frazer at WDP:

"As mentioned before the angel's batterry appears to be discharged when the guage only says (said) half or even three quarters full. The gun is simply electronically dead! It has not yet done 10,000 cycles and so I am a little concerned that it has need three full, eight hour charges to get that many cylces out of it. "

This is a two month old angel that has not yet done 10k cycles (as mentioned above) and needed three full 8-hour charges, I'm a little worried!

The angel has the newer NiMH batteries, but I would like to discharge it to check, whats the best way to discharge bearing in mind I don't have an hopper feed attachment?

Hhhhmmmm,

if its that new then you do have a problem.
Frazer is a top man- he should sort it out no probs.

Jason the battery is a Ni-mh not a Li-on if they were the second type then memory isn't a problem (I posted about the differences ages ago, all got very technical and messy) and also if they were Li-on then they would be way too much money (but it would be the way forward), I had a faulty battery on my Angel...wouldn't take a charge atall after its first charge...one phone call to WDP and in the post by return (thanks Frasier)

BTW just to remind you to bring the barrel to Dragons Lair next week.

Cheers.
