    Ladies and Gents,

    Just as the title says. I don't ever use battery. However somehow the battery has drained and is stuck charging at the 67% mark. Has anyone come across this before?

    Forget the % reading if you never let it drain itll be uncalibrated (flexicharger makes this worse)

    What does the charging light say, does it constantly stay charging (orange) forever?

    Ok Gents. Flex charger was on. I just switched it off and it seems to be charging back up. Worth noting the green light was always on so likely just calibration issues.
    Thanks fellas
