Is this behaviour normal with banggood powerboost?

Hi,

I am using the popular banggood powerboost but I have a problem when the battery is completly discharged and I want to play and charge at the same time.

This is the scenario:

- battery discharged, gbz doesn't turn on.
- connect 5v IN to powerboost. I get red light.
- turn on gbz. I get blue light.
- gbz starts boot but few seconds later shows the rainbow screen again and starts boot again and again and again...

To avoid this loop I connect 5v IN to powerboost and wait 5 minutes before turn on GBZ.

Is this behaviour normal when the battery is fully discharged? maybe my powerboost is broken?

Thanks

if you've completely drained the battery.....
or sometimes if you've disconnected the battery from the Generic PSU


you will have to connect a USB cable to the charge/power in.......
(you can leave the USB cable connected and just turn it on... provided the battery is charged/or has charge)


this has been my experience....
(its a couple of dollars PSU)
