I just got it a week ago.
The second time I went to charge it, it did not want to respond. It would just indicate the battery was full with a solid green light , but I knew it was not, and a voltmeter confirmed it was not, @ 4.02 v.
I tried a different USb source with teh same behavior
My USB meter claimed 5.08v from one USb source and 5.05 from the other, and both charged my A11 smartphone at 1.16 amps.
The flashing amber light was coming on sometimes, when trying to get it to charge, but the USB meter was reading 5.08v.
I started looking at external 21700 chargers, my old nitecore I4v2 does not take 21700s, keeping the light on for about 45 minutes pointed at ceiling, on the 450 lumen setting. I placed tailcap back on turned the tailcap 1/4 turn, and the redlight comes on indicating charging,
Now accepting 1.10 amps
Armytek says nothing in the download, about it preventing charging of a battery that is still reading over 4.0 volts, but that 'seems' to be what occurred.
