PCC and charging question

[SKYYcamel]

I just got my Sidesho today and I have a couple of questions. On the PCC, when it's charging, are there lights indicating what's going on (when the PCC is charging and when it's fully charged)? On the battery, when it's charging in the PCC, does the light tell you when the battery is charging or completely charged? Thanks.

Charging the PCC-
When you plug the A/C charger into the PCC, the PCC is fully charged when the light turns green on the A/C adapter.

Charging the battery in the PCC-
When charging the battery in the PCC, you first need to screw the battery in the front slot about 3 turns. When the battery is charging, the light on the side of the PCC will be solid red, and when the battery is fully charged the light will blink, and then turn off after 1/2hr. You will want to unscrew the battery at this point.

When you are on the go make sure to unscrew the battery when the light turns off, it can drain the power charge in the PCC/battery if you leave the battery charged the whole time.

Okay I charged my manual battery. The light on the PCC was solid red for a while and many hours later it would blink and then went off just like you said. When I went to use my manual battery, I pressed the button and then the led on it blinked 10 or so times and never would work. I plugged it back into my PCC just now and the light on it is solid red now. So I guess the PCC didnt actually charge the battery?

EDIT : nevermind, I just re-read what you said at the end of your post Tony and realize that the battery likely drained itself. I left it plugged into the PCC overnight so I'll have to charge the batt again.

Tony,

I sent you an email previously about whether or not a manual would charge in the PCC that I have (I got the pink model). I got my manual batt yesterday, and it does work. The model no. of the PCC is MV-108
