    When I first got the battery and plugged it in and fired up the hat it was at 2 solid leds, and the charge light was on and the battery level slowly dropped until it was at 1 blinking led and then after some time all the lights turned off…seems like I got the wrong battery

    How do I recharge it? Shouldn’t it just automatically recharge?

     

    I think I may be doing something wrong with the power supply as well…does both the rpi and the hat need separate power supplies or does everything run off the hat supply? Anyways trying to recharge it right now, the charge light is on and the first led is blinking, I’ll let you know if it charges (it didn’t last time)…

    Effectively, I’ll be programming the thing with JavaScript via nodejs.

    The links don't seem to work in the previous post, the power supply is at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CVH21NC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details and the battery is at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J2QET64?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

    So I got a power supply (https://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Supply-SoulBay-Adapter-Android/dp/B07CVH21NC) and battery (https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Packs-Lithium-Polymer-1200mAh/dp/B00J2QET64) and hooked everything up and fired it up and it’s draining the battery while charging! :(

     

    any idea what went wrong?
