Charger stays Green

[bgwily1]

Just got done riding approx 5 miles. Stopped for a sec and the board threw a "overcharge code (3-blink). Plugged in my board and the charger blinked red, then back to green. The app says it is charging...don't know what to think.

I think future motion needs to get their shit together.. To many issues I'm reading about.. They must be losing crazy money with all these "come backs".. I'm a motorcycle mechanic and when bikes comes back I lose money.. It's very important not to have that happen to me.. I can't afford it and it looks real bad for business..

Hope you fix your issue quick bud!!

@bgwily1 There was a post I read about this, and if I remember right the fix was to try pushing the power button after the light goes back to green.

@bgwily1 - I used to get the 3-blinks fairly frequently when my board was brand new - mostly when starting to ride straight off the charger, sometimes a little bit later. I didn't really get it anymore after a couple of weeks; figured it must be the battery that just charged a bit too well initially??

I also had the 'board-won't-charge' problem a couple of weeks ago - but the app didn't show that it was charging. Indeed as @J-Glide says, the basic solution for my board was: make sure the board is powered off before putting it on the charger, then plug it in, and when the light on the charger goes green: press the power button and then it started charging (app still wouldn't show that it was charging though, but it was).

Hope you get yours working again soon!
