Just opened up my 3DR solo out of the box.
Setting it all up.
Charging controller and battery while I meticulously read the instructions and assemble the gimbal.
My Q: When charging your Solo battery (the lithium batt) are there any indications it's ACTUALLY charging? I'm concerned as it's been plugged in now for about 30 - 40 mins and neither the adapter (the thing with the green light) nor the battery itself are even slightly warm. That seems odd.
The green light is solid on the adapter but no other indications anything is happening.
I put the battery in the solo about 10 mins ago (because my impatience was killing me) and tried to power up but got nothing. I just assumed it had no charge... so back in it went to charge.
What's worrying is, as stated, I'm seeing no real signs of anything. Should it be warm? Should a light come on?
Could it have been completely drained and I need to charge for several hours before getting anything out of it?
Newbie here. Be gentle.
