so if you're using it for drone stuff it's worthless

but yeah basicly that initial/mandatory charge time is from NiMH battery ero where the chemical structure can develop memory and other shit

i would be great with waiting for initial 8 hours of charge time if I actually knew it was charging

but yeah id rule it as broken if it does not show charging under the phone menu

or what ever device you are using

i can't even turn it on

it's as if no battery is in

did you wire it right :D

yea i just put the thing on in the same way as the old battery

i was able to put the old battery back and it worked fine (but i wanted to replace it)

(because it drained too fast)

what phone

/battery

xiaomi RN3P global, BM46

it has this weird thin flat wire that ended in some small pins

like this, but it snaps into the board just fine

and it's not loose at all

sounds like dead battery or they have some chink-magic going on there and it needs initilisation or some shit somehow somwhere

yea i'm hoping on the chink magic

i will try all the hocus pocus dear ali friend tells me but if it doesnt work they can't blame me for wanting a refund

i mean at worst its housefire sooo

they are LiPo batteries so if they somehow managed to empty the battery completly and that safety chip did not do its work

then its dead for sure

>Hello, friend, please do not worry, the battery is good, but after a long period of transport, the battery goes to sleep, You can activate the battery with a universal charger. Then it works.

<:blobconfounded:427568418107949090>

if its li-ion with proper protective circuits sure it can go to "sleep" (security shutdown to prevent over discharge)

yea but i don't see the charging progress bar, isn't that kinda a thing you should see when you plug it in

but that usualy means they wont wake up ever again

he says "try charging for 8 hours" lol

but it's not shown to be charging

i'll do it anyway and after 8 hours if it still doesn't work he has no excuse

and taking that leap of faith to try ressurect "sleeping" li-ion would need booster function on battery charger/analyzer to have chance to wake it up from sub 2.9v state

yea and i doubt a universal charger has that 2.9 v thing

basicly the analyzers trick the chip to "yes yes we fine here full charge mate" untill the charger has managed to charge it to operating levels

and ofc depending on opinions its not safe or healthy to operate any device you dont understand mechanics once the safety has tripped

and i don't have that booster function or analyze

i dunno if phone charging circuits have same function

some might

yeah it's okay, for now i'll just do what he said. i plug it in for 8 hours

but you wont know unless you research the circuit or ask xiaomi
