WPS500x

Post by Technician »

Hello,

The WPS500x Maxi Kit arrived today, I have read through the booklet that came with the kit, page 7 advises that the battery charge indicator will be on while charging and that the internal battery will take around 5 hours to charge. Following the instructions I connected it to the USB port and the red charging light came on as expected, however having only been on charge around 30 - 40 minutes the charge light is very dim, almost can't be seen now.

So assuming this is normal operation, do I just unplug after 5 hours or will there be some other way to know the battery is fully charged?

Next question, when I bought the Maxi Kit I looked on the pico site and the web page gave the option to purchase with foam and case or just case, so I assumed that the kit would be all loose inside the case if I did not purchase the foam, but on arrival the foam was too large to fit inside the case and the case already had foam inside, so have I made a mistake or is this foam for something else?

Thanks Tech

Foam is for tool trolleys. I made the same mistake. :lol:

Battery is fine, 5h from discharge state, yours was loaded.
