Battery not charging

[David247]

Hi I got a new build and the battery is not charging even though the battery bar says so working fine otherwise.

Thanks David

In escribe go to screen tab and then look for charging brightness. ....is it set to 0......If so set to 40 and upload settings.....u have to wait 60 seconds after plugging in for it to display That is very odd your USB current is showing 1.140 amps.....It should only be showing up to 0.5 when connected to a pc

I've previously posted a screen capture of mine charging at about 1 amp with a full charge through the PC USB but never received a response.  My understanding from a post I read from John was the device would not exceed 500 milliamps if data lines are connected.   Hopefully Evolv will answer what scenario's the device will pull over 1 amp when connected to PC USB as I've been unable to reproduce it, but it has happened twice for some unknown reason.

Found that this part is missing from the board

Well if yours is missing a component that may answer why your's pulls more current than it's supposed to.  Still no idea why mine has and I don't suspect it to be missing components since it's only done it a couple times randomly.
