PCC problems

[Kanza]

I read the info sheet, I studied the YouTube videos (they all seem to have a different model than mine) and *STILL* I am not able to get the thing to work. I thought I would post here before asking V4L about it and finding out I was doing everything all wrong

I have a push button above the light and a meter/bar indicator below the light and they are all on the extreme left-hand side. So the bar is full and I have an battery that needs charging on it now - what should I be doing next? I won't tell you what I've done so as not to cloud your vision, so to speak

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated

The parts are essentially the same on each model. At the far left side of the long sloat there is a metal piece that will swivel up. It's threaded so just screw your battery in there and it will charge in about 3 hours. You may need to press a button to start the charging process if the battery light didn't flash when you screwed it into the PCC. Did I understand your question correctly?

I have copied the pertinent instructions here. Maybe this will help.


I. Screw the battery into PCC adapter.
II. Press the power switch until the LED indicator turns red after blinking several times.
III. LED indicator turns off after staying red for several seconds.
IV. Allow the battery to charge charging for approximately 3-4 hours.
V. To confirm the battery’s charge state, press the power switch again, if LED indicator turns green, then the battery is fully charged.

That's what I did the first time I tested it but will do it again following Wade's directions.

Well, did all of that and left the battery connected while I spun some yarn. Came back and it turned green. As a test, I put it in my USB charger and its led turned red I have an uncharged battery - but WAIT! Eureka! After five minutes, the red light is starting to flash blue - it must have needed a little topping off! <cheer>

Thanks for your help and the excellent directions that came with it! I guess I expected the light to stay on while charging - silly me!

Again, thank you both for your help!

Oh good Kanza glad that's straightened out.

Thanks Wader!

I wish I had gotten this newer model.

Just got mine today and it didn't come with any instructions. So thank you. I got it now.
