For those of you using the Orb Nano charger - do I have a problem?
Recently received my Orb Raw NS and went to charge the battery for the first time using the included Nano charger. The battery is unprotected but the charger has a protection circuit that is suppose to shut it off so the battery does not get over charged - this can be dangerous for an unprotected battery.
Directions say it should take about 45 minutes. Battery was startiing to dim but not run down too far. 2.5 hours later the charger still showed the Red still charging LED. Scared to leave it in any longer took it out - the NS was bright again so I assumed it was being charged.
Took my spare battery. Got out my very old analog voltmeter - the charger was putting out 4 volts. Checked the spare before charging - about 3.8 volts. 2 hours later the charger was still charging and had not shut off - battery now showed about 3.9 volts.
Those using the Nano charger with the Raw or Raw NS battery - is your charger shutting off (changing to the green LED) and how long is it taking? Do I have a defective Nano?
