Battery problems

[knicknak14]

Today i bought the wall converter for my Angel 4.
I plugged it in and made sure everything was working. All was good. The gun said "CHARG" and the light on the charger was on.

Now, just a couple of minutes ago, I have checked on it again and the screen was flashing with everything lit. I turned it off and took it off the charger and now it wont even turn on. :shocked:

I have charger my gun before in the car and it worked fine.

Has anyone noticed it always happens with Wall Chargers?

But Its not like i am going on any 4 hour rides anytime soon.

I once killed the car battery charging it over night.

No, it doesn't always happen with wall chargers. I had exactly the same problem with my angel when I tried to charge it. Try this. Wait a few hours so the battery can build up a bit of a residual charge. Turn it on and when it finishes booting up plug it in and make sure it says "charg". Then leave it, but keep a close eye on it. As soon as you notice that it's stopped charging unplug it, wait a few seconds, then plug it in again. Sometimes Nimh batteries can fool a charger into thinking they're full when they're not and need a bit of a shock to keep going. If that doesn't do it then I'd e-mail a tech.

P.S. Angelboi, you always seem to be the first to answer almost any technical topic, usually with either an opinion that's only half right or a "fact" that's way off, but at the same time you can't figure out why your ram vented when you tried to remove it with the gun gassed up? I'm losing count of the number of times you've "answered" something and then been corrected by someone. I know you mean well, but if you could maybe slow down a bit and learn with the rest of us before jumping in all over I think it would be appreciated. I've been working with angels for a while now and I still don't feel comfortable answering half the things you do.

Good luck.

Who did you get the wall charger converter from?

I got it from radio shack. I called up impact paintball and they told me exactly what to buy.

I didnt touch the gun all night and now there is a little residual charge left. If i flip the switch it turns on all the "blocks" in the lcd screen with the back light on. Then it says
"LP V2" and then it goes back to the screen with everything on. If i put it on the charger it does the same thing, but when i take it off there is nothing on the lcd screen except for a blank battery bar and three blank little boxes where the timer alarms are. The backlight is not on or anything.

Hmm, okay. Mine seemed to hold enough of a charge to finish booting up. My only other thought is to leave it for a while again, then while it's booting up quick plug it in. That might give it enough of a boost to finish booting so it can reach the charging cycle.

[knicknak14]

Ive tried that but it just switches from the Lp V2 screen to the screen with everything on. The backlight is on the whole time

[gx3man]

Hmm, I'm not sure what to do then. If it can't hold enough of a charge to even get to the charging screen then I'd say it's a job for a tech.
