I recently purchased a laser from FocalPrice which I'll review later, however I'm having issues and I suspect it's the battery itself.
The battery came with the laser, though I can't tell if it's charged. (I'm at work, my multimeter is at home)
It DID come with a charger, and when I connect the charger and battery, the light goes green on the charger.
My assumption is that this indicates that the battery is fully charged.
My question:
What indications do you have that a battery isn't charged other than the intended product isn't working? I don't want to over-discharge the battery, though I think the battery itself has a protected circuit in it. I don't know though. It's a blue UltraFire battery, and it does have the little bump on the positive side, though that may not mean anything. I've never used these types of batteries before so I'm not sure.
Any ideas/suggestions on what I can do? Worst case scenario, I'll just wait until I get home and check with my multimeter but wanted to get your opinions
Thanks
