PCC question

[noss]

I stupidly threw out the "manual" that came with my pcc by accident.

Can I charge the pcc with a battery IN it?

Can anyone remind me what the lights do when it's too dead to charge a batt?

Yes, you can charge the battery in the PCC while you are charging the PCC. Don't know about your led colors. Mine went red when the PCC was charged.

This is for the Janty PCC.

1. When the casing is charged through an external power adaptor (output through USB interface) or a computer USB interface, the input is 5.0v and LED C will reflect the following status:

When the PCC is being charged, LED C shows red.
When the PCC is fully charged, LED C shows green: the charge is finished. When you unplug the external power adapter or the USB cable from your computer, LED C will dim.

(Note: The PCC charges fully in about 4.0 hours.)

2. When the voltage of the PPC battery drops to 3.3V, LED B will show red: the casing needs to be charged. LED A will dim.

3. When a battery is inserted into the PCC, the PCC tests the voltage of the battery. If the battery voltage is less than 4.0v, LED A will turn red and the battery will be charged. When the battery is fully charged LED A will dim.

4. In case the battery should not charge properly you will need to clean the inside of the charger casing with cotton and alcohol to ensure there are no debris that impede the electrical conductivity.

5. Power storage: A fully charged PCC can fully charge 5 batteries.

Thanks a ton, to both of you. Exactly what I was looking for.
