Battery not charging properly.

Hi, Listers, I've got a NewerTech battery that is fresh out of the box. It was charging fine last night, but it seems to have stopped at 62% charge. The Lombard was in sleep mode overnight, so I have no idea if this may have contributed to it. However, I do remember that the lights were on

Before I forget, I also reset the PMU and the NVRAM, as well, with no results showing. The battery lights should be on, but they aren't. Caleb On Saturday, Jan 7, 2006, at 12:51 America/Chicago, Caleb Cupples wrote: Hi, Listers, I've got a NewerTech battery that is fresh out of the box. It

That's the exact opposite of what I wanted to hear. Oh well, it'll be worth it to make my production machine portable. Thanks, Caleb On Saturday, Jan 7, 2006, at 14:35 America/Chicago, Tom Ethen wrote: Shut it off and charge the batteries. My new battery from OWC had to charge for over 24hr

Hi, I know this is a bit of a time to start a new thread about the same problem mentioned in my earlier thread, but I've now had the Lombard plugged in for three hours and it's showing 1% charge in XBattery, with -1.200 amps. Does this sound like a battery or system problem, before I sink

Caleb, Read my other post, it took over 24hr for my NewerTech battery from OWC to take a charge, it will do next to nothing in three hours. Tom On 1/7/06 7:10 PM, Caleb Cupples [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I know this is a bit of a time to start a new thread about the same problem

Tom, not to sound ignorant or anything, but aren't the little lights supposed to come on when it's charging, because mine certainly aren't. Even on my first attempt immediately after getting the battery, which resulted in OS X showing 100 % charge well before any actual charge, the lights were

Caleb, I don't know what battery reset utility does, because it won't work with my Pismo, but I do know that when I first got the battery from OWC it did not charge at all for quite a while and then only a little bit even though the lights stated otherwise. I then just left it for the weekend and

I'm going to leave it on the charger through Monday afternoon, and if it isn't up by 4 PM CST on Monday, I'll call OWC. I can't have it down for any considerable amount of time, though, even if it means that I have to drag the yoyo everywhere, like it or not. Tom, I really appreciate you
