Transmitter Battery Info?

Post by JMCP » Sat Dec 22, 2018 7:57 pm

Hey

Does anybody know details about the transmitter? How long does its battery last? What charger should we use?

btw I noticed that while charging it, the fourth led indicator never seems to stay solid (to indicate a full charge) I dont know why

I flew the Zino using up two batteries till around 20% of charge each - the transmitter still had 2 lights indicated(half charge?). When charging at home, the 2nd light was blinking. I do not know about other details

I connected my transmitter to my laptop to charge and had the same problem. Then I started using the plug that charges my phone and it completed. Maybe the item your using to charge doesn't offer enough power.

I have used this 'home-charging needs' travel charger(both 800 & 1200mA) and Zino charger - transmitter fully charged, solid lights. Yours defective?

Hi, I've loaded the zino station with its original cable connected to the notebook and its battery is charged until the blue lights are fixed. I also left it all night and went to sleep, I do not know how long it takes but in the application it appears 100%. Upload it and look at the app to see if it helps you. The Zino battery left it at 25%, and it takes 2h + - to charge.

I am using a plug with 5.0V and 1.0A output and the original USB cable. Do I need something with more power?

Don't forget, an OTG connection to your phone/tablet, will charge that device whilst plugged in, unless you disable it.
The controller is therefore not only powering itself (very low current requirement) but also charging your phone, which can be significant.

Is it easy to disable it? How did you do that?
