HANA V3 won't charge .... may be my fault

[medic181075]

Quick version of the story. Brand new Hana V3 dna 40 arrived yesterday. I let it warm up to room temperature and popped in the battery. It was DOA. I assumed the battery may be dead, so I plugged it in. The red LED came on indicating charging. A few minutes later I tried to press the fire button again, nothing. I decided I would give the battery a shot in another mod. When I took it out, I realized that I had put the battery in backwards. I immediately thought "reverse polarity protection is awesome". So I flipped the battery around and everything worked great. I plugged it in to charge last night and the red LED came on. This morning, the red LED is still on and the battery appears to be at the same charge level it was last night.

Is this broken charging something I did by attempting to charge it with the battery in backwards or could it be a manufacturing defect?

There are folks here who know the dna 40 well, and may be more helpful..

Just contact Hana and explain the situation.... they will guide you thru the issue....they should know if their charging board is protected/or not from inverse voltage... Their repair service shows replacing the charger is 25 bucks if not a warranty issue...

Sorry about that. I obviously get confused easily
