Charger Troubleshooting
Plug the charger into the wall. The light should turn green. If the light does not turn green, or if it does not turn on at all - you have a bad charger.
Plug the charger into the Firefly. The light should turn red, meaning the battery is taking a charge. If the light does not turn red, the battery is fully charged or is a bad battery.
Battery Troubleshooting
If the Firefly is being very slow, your battery is running low on charge. Let the battery charge overnight. If the Firefly is still running sluggish after being plugged in overnight, you likely have a bad battery.
CHECK: The end of the red wire is securely attached to the speed controller. If the wire is loose - that is a problem. Re-secure the wire.
CHECK: The black wire to the Battery should be secured into place. If it is off - that is a problem. Re-secure the wire to create the electric loop required for the Firefly to function.
If the light on the charger stays green and the Firefly is not holding power - you may need to ship your Firefly to SpinOlution for service.
BATTERY CARE
It is best that the Firefly be charged overnight after each use.
It is not required to leave the charger or the Firefly plugged in all the time.
It is best not to let the battery run on a very low charge. Deep discharge is not good for long term battery life.
