why do I find this funny

is it normal to charge new smartphone batteries for 8 hours? the dear friend from ali said the battery must be asleep but not to worry it will wake up if charged with a universal charger

but i do not see any charging progress when i plug it in?

you are being shitted on so much

yeah i really don't know about it

what do i do? they basically sent me a dead battery

the "initial 8 hour Charge" is usualy under the "smart calibration" where it runs feq quick-charge cycles the establish the max stat on the battery

but said smart calibration should do it every time its left to the wall

not just "first time when booting

yea i am just trying to charge this thing after putting it in for the first time and it does not charge at all

i have just been messaging the dear friend from ali, i haven't 'confirmed' my order yet

yeah if it does not charge at all then either its wired to shit, it does not regonize it or the hardware is locked so that only certain batteries are accepted

from quickly on top of my head

ofc the option that battery is just not working properly == shit

it is the same "model", but that might still not matter?

depends whats the problem on it

i'm willing to talk to this dear friend from ali a bit more before i do any refunding

or confirming

certain shitty vendors are known to whitelist their hardware, use drm chips on printer inks, etc etc

Hey, don't buy the Xiaomi repeater 2, they patched mi home so you can't even connect to unsecured networks

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
