GTmedia V8 Finder Pro 2 battery

Post by Mehdisat.tchn »

Hello, I have a problem with charging the battery; it won't charge. The device only works when connected to an adapter.

My Finder Pro (1) came with a 9 volt charger.

The issue I had was that charger has a Type C USB connector, but is ALWAYS 9V.
I used it on other things and killed them as it was NOT 5V.

If you use a normal 5V charger the battery will not charge, but the finder will run.
For a while I was charging my Finder pro battery in another model finder- meter V73 as it would not changer in the finder pro because I was not using the charger that came with the finder, that 9 Volt Type C plug charger.

When I found how I was killing other USB things I stored away the charger and now can not find it.

B dangerous charger that looks like a type C charger, but is 9V and kills things that only want 5V.
If you have the same charger, put red tape around the plug end so you do not use it on other things.

The charger that came with the device is 9 volts and the battery isn't charging. Could this be due to an update?
