Title: at show... Quick tinybox power question
Post by: jerryfreak on December 19, 2013, 10:42:08 PM
second time out with it. First time it hit orange light at setbreak and failed shortly after. Today i charged it for about 5 hours till light was green. Power was off while charging. Unplugged it drove to show, turn it on, light is orange already. How long do i have max once orange light is on? What am i doing wrong?

Something there is fishy.  I don't know what gear you're running with the TinyBox but it shouldn't go from green to orange like that. 

The only things I can think of were:

1. Was it kept in a cold place during transport (i.e., a trunk)?

2. Did it manage to get knocked into the on position while traveling?

Other than that, it might need to be looked at by Jon.

yeah i think battery is bad. Does the lb sound the same until it dies or will sound degrade?
