Yeah just noticed it used 18650 cells, same as my car and they take an age to charge also but in fairness there is about 6,000 of them lol.

From the SE2 instructions which of course you read

The BLUE LED will remain lit during charging, and will extinguish when the battery is fully charged.

You mean I have to read them, I gave them a glance

My actual experience is different. The blue light remain on but dims and also flashes slightly…. Sadly no way to see battery state of charge from the config page which is a shame but I’m pretty sure it’s full.

Electronic conspicuity - both in and out - is so full of nuance and pitfalls that it is worth taking the time to understand fully what you are playing with.

Getting some settings wrong can confuse not just yourself but others as well.

This old fart managed to set up SE2 first time without a hitch by following clear SD instructions to link it..............

And I did RTFM too,and it took overnight for a full charge to 'lights out'.

So if I can do it....................... :roll:
