How to Fix Fenix UC35 charging problems?
If you really find any problems with your Fenix UC35 and its charging, you should follow some simple ways to solve them.
i) Change the charging port
The charging port is a physical connector to connect the charger to the device. If there is any problem with the port, the charging process may be delayed or unsolved.
So, you should test the charging port and change it quickly if any of the pins are broken or bent.
ii) Check the charger
If the charger of the flashlight is damaged, it will not provide sufficient power to the flashlight. As a result, the flashlight becomes dim because of the lack of power.
So, checking the charger is a must. If any problems are found, you have to replace them.
How do you charge a Fenix UC35 flashlight?
Some users forget to turn the light off before putting the charger inside the charging port of the flashlight. It is a significant reason why the flashlight’s charging system is damaged soon. I am presenting the proper way of charging a Fenix UC35 flashlight.
i) Turn off the light
It is confusing for the battery when you put a charger inside it and use the device simultaneously. Some devices (i.e., mobile phones, flashlights, electric fans) support charging while using it at the same time. But, if you notice that your flashlight is becoming slower, you should start charging after turning the light off.
ii) Recognize the function of the tail switch
If you fully press the tail switch, the light will turn on. The half press will also turn on the light, but it will be “momentary.” So, it does not remain on for long, and some users determine it as a problem.
iii) Use the specific cable for charging
Sometimes we use a charging cable which is not recommended for the device. It is a significant reason for damaging the device. So, we must read the user manual and purchase a suitable charger if the main charger is damaged. The included cable or any Micro-USB cable is suitable for charging a Fenix UC 35.
