Definitely get an external charger such as the Nitecore UM2 or anything like that. It's the only way to recover batteries that might be too depleted or are in bad health. I found this out on day 1. The external chargers use a separate circuit for each battery, so one bad cell doesn't hobble the...

It turns out one of the batteries that shipped with the Angus was bad or severely depleted. The Angus charges both at same time, so if one is bad it won't reach full charge, even after 7 hours. I bought an external charger which confirmed one of the batteries was not healthy. After several hours...

Thanks for checking. I'm buying an external charger and new set of batteries today. Hopefully I was worried about nothing, and the original set of batteries were just too flat for the charger to quickly charge. Thanks, that's good to know. I am buying external charger today. Interesting that...

Hate to say it, but the Solo is not reliable in my experience. Perhaps I'm just unlucky, but I'm about to return my second Solo. First one was the older ceramic version - stopped heating after about 6 months of casual use. The replacement (M107) won't charge with the supplied adapter...

Hi, had strange problem on new model where the blue light keeps flashing after switching it off. Im guessing fault? Might be my fault though because I tried using a universal adapter - a 12v and 9v power supply but it didn't have enough mA. Bad decision? Also, I made mistake of not charging...
