9. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Charger LED does not light up when connected to power. | No power or insufficient power input. | Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected. Verify the power source is providing 5V DC and at least 2A. Do not use 5V/1A adapters. |
| Charger does not start charging (LED remains off or shows error). | Battery not connected correctly, battery type unsupported, or battery fault. | Check battery balance connector for correct insertion and polarity. Ensure the battery is a 2S or 3S LiPo. Inspect the battery for damage. The charger has protection for reverse connection and abnormal voltage. |
| Charging takes an unusually long time. | Low input current from power source or high capacity battery. | Ensure your power source provides a full 2A output. Charging larger capacity batteries (e.g., 3000mAh) will naturally take longer due to the 0.8A max charge current. |
| Charger LED flashes rapidly or indicates an error. | Batteria anomala voltage, reverse connection, or internal fault. | Immediately disconnect the battery and power source. Recheck connections. If the issue persists, the battery may be faulty, or the charger may require service. |
