@nonspecialist@aus.social are you sure the battery can actually hold any charge?

@duk3luk3@cloudisland.nz I have two, one is the original and the second is new. It’s possible they’re both borked of course. Using the original charger I can’t tell what’s happening, but with the bench power supply it’s taking 19V at 0.125-0.19A with the original battery, and with the new; and 12.5V at the battery terminals (it’s rated at 11.3V so that would be a reasonable charging voltage I think) but that isn’t enough amps for it to charge I believe. Even leaving this plugged in for a day hasn’t registered any charge on the battery at all, so I reckon it’s actually the charging circuit that’s blown.
