FlexRadio Maestro C Battery Not Charging and Failing to Power Device

Ron W4RDM

in Maestro

I'm experiencing an issue with my FlexRadio Maestro C. One of my batteries, despite showing a 40% charge, will neither charge further nor power the Maestro. In contrast, a second battery charges normally and operates the device without any problems. Given that the problematic battery displays a charge level but fails to function, what could be the underlying issue? Is it possible that the battery is faulty, or could there be another explanation? Has anyone else encountered a similar situation or have insights into potential solutions?

    Hi Ron… based on the symptoms, I suspect the battery is giving you a 'ghost' charge level. It's actually dead and cannot generate enough current to power anything.

    I would open up a Help Desk ticket and let them help you through more extensive diagnostics. It may lead, tho, to needing a replacement battery.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
