Battery Not Charging
Solo analyzer battery won't charge or shows weak battery repeatedly.
Applies to: Solo Analyzers
Problem description: The Solo Analyzer battery will not charge, charges very slowly, or repeatedly shows a low battery warning. To fix this, work through the steps below — most charging issues are resolved by trying a different cable or updating the firmware.
Possible causes:
- Battery age/degradation
- Charging circuit failure
- Cable/connector issues
- Battery protection triggered
- Firmware charging bug
Step-by-step troubleshooting:
- Try a different USB cable and charger.
- Check the charging indication: while the device is powered on, press and hold the Down Arrow button to display the battery status screen.
- Update the device firmware to the latest version via the Divesoft Desktop application.
- Clean the charging contacts with a dry cloth or cotton swab.
- If you have a multimeter, measure the battery voltage directly. A healthy Li-ion cell should read between 3.6 V and 4.2 V.
- If possible, monitor the charging current to confirm the charger is delivering power.
When to contact service: If the battery still will not charge after completing the steps above, contact Divesoft Support. A service technician will inspect the charging circuit and replace the battery if necessary.
