Safe Checks You Can Try
Check charging cable and adapter
1. Use only the micro-USB cable provided with the device
2. Use a power adapter rated at 1 amp minimum
3. Do not use fast chargers rated above 2 amps
4. Try a different USB cable to rule out cable fault
Check charging port on battery
1. Inspect the micro-USB port on the battery for debris or damage
2. Gently clean port with a dry toothbrush if dusty
3. Ensure cable clicks firmly into place
4. Try plugging into a different power outlet
Check battery LED indicator
1. When charging correctly, the battery LED should show red or flashing
2. Solid green indicates fully charged
3. No LED may indicate a faulty battery or cable connection issue
4. Leave connected for 30 minutes before checking again
Try a different power source
1. Try charging using a laptop USB port
2. Try a different wall outlet or USB charger
