I finally got around to building my circuit sword. Everything works fine except charging - when I plug in a USB-C cable the LEDs all light up, the battery charging indicator appears in the top-right corner, but the battery icon never fills up - it just keeps draining.
Is this a known problem? Can I verify if my charging circuit is indeed broken?
Not charging?

Re: Not charging?
What does the indicator look like? A small plug symbol, or a lightning bolt symbol? Have you ever plugged the battery in the wrong way round?

Re: Not charging?
The indicator looks like a small plug symbol. And I've never plugged the battery in the wrong way as far as I'm aware - I've always been really careful about checking the polarity given the other horror stories I've seen on here.

Re: Not charging?
Ok, plugged symbol means plugged in but not charging, so sounds like the charging IC needs replacing. If you could send me an email I'll give you the return address and get it replaced
