HC-1 Battery is DOA...
JJ Crooke:
I'd be very surprised if both PA-1 would be defective but as far as I can tell, yes, they are functioning properly. My guess is that the safety feature that prevents over charging is the problem here if you consider both of the following:
* “If your HC-2 has been plugged in for 1 hour and the charging screen has not been displayed, then press the reset button (See the section “Operation, Reset Button” for more information) on the back of the unit.” (HC-2 User Guide, page 25)
* "If you press the reset button and try to charge a HC shortly after pressing the reset, the HC will not charge properly. It will display "Done" charging and the battery charge indicator will show a full charge but it will drain quickly. Since the reset causes the HC to display nearly fully charged it will only allow a short charge and turn off (This is a safety feature to prevent resets and over charging)."
But what do I know. :o
William Brillinger:
well, in that case, I look forward to hearing what Tim has to say.
JJ Crooke:
With Tim's help, I was able to get my HC-2'S working. It is a problem related to the first production run of HC-2's. I've started another thread describing the issue and the solution.

Glad you were able to resolve it Joel. That should not happen again after you update the software.
