    No I haven't so far, have you tried a power drain?

    very weird, I had to restart twice before the battery started charging again. hope this is just a one off.
    I was worried because this has been an issue for the R1 and R2.
    BB, don't close this thread immediately, I will give it some time to see if this problem pops up again and will share info with R3 owners.

    Subscribed for caution :) Hopefully it was just the weather or something. Check the adapter for tears, etc. though.
