PCC charging

[Lalesa]

Ok so I finally got my manual batteries, PT and PCC That should have been here Friday! (Not Shawn's fault, my post office likes to deliver by pack mule)
Anyway, I plug in my PCC and put the auto battery in it until hubby modifies it for manual batts. The USB part lights up for awhile and the little red light on the case lights up. Occasionally the little red light blinks then goes solid again. What happens when its charged? Red light just goes out or what?

BTW, one auto batt died today I think, so I came home to have to charge 3 batteries with one PCC and 1 wall charger. Was I happy I also ordered the PT? Yeah, you bet!
Watching batts charge and smoking my computer.... Life is good!
(but I'm gonna need more charging equipment! )

Yes, the red light goes out when fully charged.

Not (totally) sure but I think you are suppose to plug the PCC case in the wall....blue light on USB cable is on and will go off when the case is fully charged.

Then screwn in a batt, red light on case will come on. When it starts to blink, the batt is fully charged.

I guess you can do both at the same time but then you may slow down the charging of the case.

I can't plug it into the wall, it only came with a USB cable. So its going to have to stay on the computer all night to charge for tomorrow.

Really? you should ask Shawn.....it should have came with a box type thing with flip out prongs to plug in the wall and the USB cable plugs into it. Either way.... you can use the USB to charge the pack.....I just think you should wait for the blue usb light to go out first, then charge from the PCC case by itself.

I just tried my pcc for the first time. So when a battery is charged, the light doesn't go completely off? It blinks? Because I charged one for a few hours and the red light was mostly on, but would blink off for a split second every once in a while. I thought it went out completely when the battery was charged.

I love the PCC. An added bonus for me is my cell phone(Motorola Razor) charging cords work with the PCC.
