Battery charging

Postby HaH » January 3rd, 2011, 6:26 pm

Is it just me, or does it take forever to charge? The lead is so short I can't use it while it's charging and it takes a good couple of hours to charge for about 4 hours use!

Currently I just leave it to charge overnight and by the morning it's fully charged and ready to go. I agree, the lead is WAY to short when charging, makes it's very hard to use while charging, shame.

Is the charger a normal 2 wire adapter like a laptop charger?
Could cut and extend the wire ?

Getting my scroll tomorrow :D

Yes it is normal 2 wire jobby, you can EASILY cut and extend it if you like, but obviously do so at your own risk (have to just mention that LOL).

Yea lol thanks

Actually I did have it plugged into USB (As I sit at my PC most times) and it was charging fine, but then I installed a few things, removed a few things, and although it says charging, the battery icon stays around 9 - 13% depending on what Im doing with it
