7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Portronics Lithius Cell batteries, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Battery not charging | Loose cable connection, faulty cable/adapter, dirty charging port | Ensure cable is securely connected. Try a different Type-C cable or USB power source. Clean the charging port gently. |
| Device not powering on | Battery not charged, incorrect polarity, device issue | Charge the battery fully. Check battery orientation (+/-). Test the device with other known-good batteries. |
| Short battery life | High-drain device, battery degradation, incomplete charge | Ensure battery is fully charged. For high-drain devices, battery life will naturally be shorter. Consider replacing old batteries if degradation is significant. |
| Battery gets warm during charging/use | Normal operation, excessive load, faulty battery | Slight warmth is normal. If it becomes excessively hot, discontinue use and charging immediately. Contact support if warmth is unusual or extreme. |
