How to tell if ZumoXT is fully charged

[semmyroundel]

Hi all, I took delivery today of a Zumo XT. It's been on charge for over 8 hours and it hasn't said : fully charged or the battery symbol being FULLY green once lead unplugged.
I do have a 2amp+ wall charger, and it has been on standby all that time.
How can I tell a percentage charge? Is that possible?

Hi and welcome to the forum

Sometimes mine doesn't show fully charged but it is!

Press and hold the battery icon for around 5 - 10 seconds and a screen will open with a lot of info on and when plugged in it will tell you if its charged or charging

As with most electronic and internal batteries, it may take a couple of charge/use cycles before the battery reaches it's full potential.

Many thanks, I'll give that a try!

Good point, I hadn't thought of that!

Thanks, there's a lot of info there, but the most likely is: BL70%DC
I'm assuming that means 70% battery, now after 9+ hours of charging.
What else should I look at to see what sort of current my charger is able to deliver etc?
Or should I charge/discharge a few times before making any asessments?

No BL is backlight if you press up and down it will change and the screen brightness goes up or down

You should see the words charged or charging depending on what it's doing

Obviously when plugged in

Doesn't tell you how charged the unit is directly, but does tell you how much charge it's accepting:

Has helped me ditch a faulty lead.

Is there any way to get out of that mode besides power-cycling the device?

Not that I have found!
