Slow charging with Halcyon Dna 200

[sktbrd]

Hi I'm having issues with my Halcyon I connected it to eScribe and the charging rate is around .17 amps. It's only been charged maybe 4 times, does the charging rate increase over time? Is there something I can do in eScribe that will give me better charging? Thanks

Have you tried charging with another USB cable?

I only have the cable that came with the halcyon

Well I was using the USB port on my keyboard to charge it and I downloaded escribe on my laptop and it showed that it was charging at .5 amps. Luckily it wasn't a problem with my mod, just the power source which is kind of disappointing.

I only charge mine off a 2A USB point on a powerstrip.

In theory, giving the onboard 1A balanced charger a good supply to pull from so it can charge at full rate.

Takes about an hour and a half to come up full from 30%.

USB output is generally equal to or less than the rate on the mod, lengthening charge time. 

So I only plug into my laptop when I am adjusting parameters in eScribe.

Also, when I am out and about I keep a Samsung 6000Mah charge pack in my bag.

It pushes 5.1v @1.5A and I can charge it several times before having to recharge the Samsung pack,

and it takes no less time than wall charging it.
