Hi there,
You don't really have to worry about this;
even though the battery percentage indicates
100%, the battery will be in fast charge for
the next two hours. The real means of
finding out whether your battery has finished
charging is by using j and s switches under
Support Info Mode (j tells you how much
current is being used; if it says something
around 300, then your battery is being
charged; if it says something around 0, then
the battery has finished charging. s tells
you charging status; when the battery has
finished chargx, it should display "tricke
charging" - a condition where the battery is
still being charged but the battgy
compartment is off in order to reduce risk of
overheating the battery).
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [Braillenote] Battery query
Hi all,
Following on from a post regarding how to
check the battery, I have a
question. Since I now leave my mPower on
mains adaptor until I need to use
it portably, for example to take lecture
notes, I had a concern. When my
phone was charged I meant to switch the
charger plug off, but switched off
the BrailleNote charger plug instead, which
obviously resulted in "AC
Adaptor Off" being displayed. So I turned it
back on and it said "AC Adaptor
On" as expected, but discovered that despite
it being at 100%, it said Fast
Charging. Am I harming the battery at all?
It said in the manual that I
can't, but was just wondering. Also, is it
safe to leave it plugged in
indefinitely till I need to use it on the
road, as it were, then plug it in
when I get back home?
Sorry for the many questions, but I'm still
getting used to how the mPower
works, particularly in terms of hardware, so
any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
