PCC Questions

[zer0xity]

Getting some consistently inconsistent results with the PCC:

I plug it in (along with a battery) every night to a charging MacBook Air - red light stays on indicating that the PCC is charging. A couple hours later, red light turns green indicating that it's fully charged. Later on in the night, without any action of my own it often turns back to red.

As for the battery, sometimes it (battery light on PCC) goes through the stages of: SOLID RED to LONG BLINKING RED (I believe this means it's near a full charge) to BLINKING RED. Fine - as I see it, that's the usual and logical progression.

Sometimes, however, despite being charged all night, I'll still see it as SOLID RED and then it goes to the BLINKING RED stage shortly after I wake up (or perhaps it does this all night?). Funny, because it's almost like the charger fell asleep and didn't do it's job all night, only to hurry up and charge in the morning when I woke up and saw it.

I donno. My batteries are charging, however, so I guess it's not a major issue. Just wondering if anyone else had similar results?

perhaps your Macbook is going into sleep mode therefore shutting down the power to peripherals such as the USB ports?

I've had a bunch of problems with my PCC too. I don't know. It works sometimes and then not other. It will go to red, maybe charge for 20 mins and then the light goes off but if I touch the battery to take it off, it will then go back to red. I have the same issue with it when overnight charging that you do.

I'm having these issues and the thing is plugged into a wall adapter, not even into a computer.

then you may have a bad PCC jbankston. my reply was predicated solely on the fact the OP was asking about the PCC being plugged in a PC. that would be a next logical step though would be for zer0xity to plug the PCC into a wall adapter and see if he has those same issues.
