Charging Issue

[rbdamon]

I am a new Railpro user. I have purchased an HC-2 and when I charge it charges but eventually the battery indicator bar only goes to the 3/4 mark and then I get the message on the Display "Faulted Charger Under Current" I think at this point it is fully charged even though the indicator is incorrect. It seems to work ok but this is not the behavior I would expect. Anyone seem this before?

Make sure your HC is updated with the latest program, REV. 2.03 and then perform the drain down and full charge as described at the link Alan provided.

So my attempt to upgrade to 2.03 isn't going so well. Not sure why I received a product with older firmware? This was new stock. Anyways as a Mac user (hint hint) I had to drag out the only laptop with I have with Windows 7 that I keep for such emergencies and although I have loaded a sound file ok the controller upgrade continues to error out with the message "Timeout waiting for file"

Update
Ok I spoke too soon after a reboot I was able to update to 2.03

2.03 for the HC is quite recent. It would only be loaded on product that left Ring in the first week of January or later.

Ok that makes sense. I purchased early Dec. and had to wait a couple weeks for new stock to arrive. Will let drain the battery tonight.

Thanks for all the help!!
