Had anyone experienced a long charge time on the 120v charger? I've been plugging in overnight with no issues but last night it only got to 80% by morning and now the app is telling me it will take 20.5 five hours to a full charge? I just started using my split ducts a.c. units for the season and thinking maybe they are causing such a draw that it is extending my battery time? Any thoughts?Thanks

Hoping I found the answer. Read the manual and there was a section on the significance of the lights on the actual charger itself. When I looked at that it had flashing red lights. I think there is something wrong with the outlet I had it plugged into. Luckily I had one other outlet I could use and it went to all green and dropped from 18hrs to 9hr.

Sounds like the outlet is wired incorrectly. Get an outlet tester (about $5 at home depot or from Amazon) and check your outlet. If its wired incorrectly you should get it fixed to protect anyone who might use it in the future.

Found this post on a google search since it seemed like my PacHy stopped charging sometime between when hubby got home 90 min ago and now. The lights on the cord were red, checked the outlet with the device shown above and it has an open ground (eek), but replugged it in and its working fine now. Electrician comes next week to put in the 220V outlet.

It's definitely not your split units. Your home should have way more than enough service to supply a couple of split units and your other loads. If you split units were pulling more current than their breakers are rated for, the breakers would pop. That said, you could have myriad issues with the circuit you're plugged into, many of which could be quite serious, so I'd make sure to follow up on it with an electrician if you find that the charger works fine on other outlets.

Although not a good thing, I don't think an open ground would cause your symptoms. If the health check the charger performs doesn't react immediately to an open ground situation, it's not going react to it 90 minutes later.

Congrats on the 220v charger; that's the way to go.
