Re: Freesat V8 Finder battery
To charge the battery requires 4 or 5 hours, the red LED turns green, then after a few days I check it and the battery is down again without working. Many Thanks for support.

Re: Freesat V8 Finder battery
how can i fix my problem?
Re: Freesat V8 Finder battery
It does sound like your finder has a problem.
Mine lasts for a long time and I used it to watch TV for 1.5 hours one night.
The battery is removable after you unscrew the back cover.
When you replace the screws turn them unti clockwise first until you feel / hear a click and then screw them in clockwise.
This prevents stripping out the plastic threads in the housing.
The other thing is after you have unplugged the battery the finder will not power on until it has been on the charger.
If you can find a replacement battery you can test if your problem is the battery or the unit using power in the "Off" mode.

Re: Freesat V8 Finder battery
Many thanks. I thought about buying another battery to check where the problem comes from, I do not know where to buy it from aliexpress I do not find it.
Re: Freesat V8 Finder battery
Do you own a Satlink WS-6909 battery? Will the battery be compatible? If I can test.
Re: Freesat V8 Finder battery
Most of the Satlink batteries have only two wires and the Freesat have three.
The only battery I found on Aliexpress was $US30 plus $2 shipping, two thirds the cost of a new finder.
You could test what current is used from the battery when the Finder is "OFF" to check if it is the unit or the battery at fault.
There is no point in buying a new battery if your unit is at fault.
Have you asked those that you brought it from?

If you look at the back of the finder you are selling is not the same as sold to me, compare the photos.
